    Just thought I’d pass it on… haven’t ordered from them before. I tend to stay in a rut of comfort….

    That must be an exclusive off just for you, it doesn’t work for me. Not that I need any more cigars…

    I had one of these today, it was nothing to brag about. Probably just needs more time.

    Ever notice that some maduro cigars appear to have the wrapper "sprayed" with a darkening agent?

    No, not that. More like a un-natural uniform consistent rich and dark almost giving the appearance of dyed or sprayed on. Don't know how to explain it. I got some cigars a few years back with maduro wrappers (of course) and could not believe the rich darkness of the wrapper. Upon researching reviews of it, I read some complaints and suggestions that the wrappers were dyed or sprayed. People were complaining about the colorization remaining on their fingers just from holding it.....

    I have never had that issue but most of you gents have been smoking cigars far longer than I have.

    Last night I enjoyed a Cohiba Red Dot & gave my sister’s BIL a Legends Black Lonsdale by Drew Estate, he really enjoyed it. While we were sitting there bs’ing & having our cigars, his 91yo mother told him she wanted to try it so she took 2-3 puffs. He was kinda of surprised but diligently handed it over. I just kind of chuckled.

    :jaw: Do you need a new cutter or do you insist on using a hacksaw on them? :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I had this one tonight. I think it is my last one.....6 X 60. By the time I got to the last third, the tip looked the same as Chvymn99 trademark chewed on! :wacky:

    I am having one of these this evening, I was after a Charter Oak but grabbed this one instead. I need to get into my RP 1990’s since they were some of the first cigars I bought but keep forgetting.

    I am taking these in my to go box this morning. After 3-4 months resting time I am liking these vanilla cigars a lot more, the vanilla is a lot more pronounced. It’s a nice occasional change up.

    I had one of these last evening while sitting on the deck and playing "parchisi" (anyone remember that board game?)

    It was real good and I am looking forward to the next time I have one. Only difference was that this time I really took my time with it.
