    My order arrived on Thu. I swear that the box of cigars I ordered was cellophane wrapped, but there was also a boveda packet inside of it when I opened the box. I don't think that is something that factories do; at least I have never seen that before.

    No handwritten notes that I saw.

    Yeah I thought the Boveda was a nice touch. I’d be surprised if was a factory thing though. That could get expensive for them pretty fast.

    I probably shouldn’t tell you how good those smelled when I sprung em from their wrappers. :whistle: I think they are going to be pretty gooder smokes.

    So, I'm a bit of an idiot sometimes.............I got finished with my noodling firewood and went in to dig through the cigars and I actually found one. That sampler I bought had one in it. Lol I'm smoking it right now. And yes, it is good! Rocky is still batting a thousand.

    I get Acid Red Cameroon cigarillos and those are awesome too. Cameroons have quite a different flavor, and I like it.

    Had to touch it up once and it draws a little tougher than the others, but I just recharged my beads, so it probably took on some moisture, but it's doing great now.

    You like it? They're different, but I've like all that I've had.

    I have had a few Cameroon wrappers they are pretty good but it probably all depends on the cigar too.

    I am hoping that this one lives up to the hype.

    I had 2 yesterday morning while I had some windshield time.

    [​IMG]

    A mild cigar. First one I had was probably around 30 years ago........sometime in the 90's. I liked them because of no after taste/smell the nest morning after a "night out". This is the first one I've had since the 90's.

    [​IMG]

    The next smoke was more gooderer. It was a few months since my last one and time to re-visit an established enjoyable smoke (after my poor luck with the oliva 2nds v maduros)

    Enjoyable until just past the 1/2 way mark and then something went south with the taste. Couldn't identify it and it didn't improve. Snowbank is it's final resting place.


    I have no room left in my two coolidors. I'm gonna have to back off ordering for awhile.



    Or buy another cooler!!!!!
