    I’ll have to check out the Ankeny store. I’m in that area a lot more Waukee.

    The only reason I haven’t been there is I am usually on the west side of the concrete jungle & everytime I am in Ankeny the traffic is ridiculous.
    I either run Hwy 169 about all the way to Ogden or go to Stuart & take 80 over to 169 at Adel.

    Those are no longer being made. When I learned about them, they had already been discontinued.

    Glad you had a chance to enjoy one JimBear

    Jake said he bought the last box he could find 2-3 years ago, maybe longer. I think some singles & such can still be found on trading boards here & there. According to Bryan on CO they made 70k of them in 3 different vitolas.

    I had this one this morning, it smelled wonderful out of the cellophane unlit & it had very sweet tobacco flavor unlit. The lit flavor wasn’t outstanding but it wasn’t terrible. In my opinion this is a cigar that Chvymn99 would like for a cigar to chew on.

    Ran the splitter most of the weekend and when it was time to stack, I decided to smoke this instead. The pile can wait. IMG_1727.jpeg

    I have been eyeballing these for a couple weeks & finally pulled the trigger on 3 five packs. I am looking forward to trying these after they have rested a good long while.

    Haven't had the desire to smoke a cigar for a couple weeks now. Congested and clearing throat with little to no results. The last couple of days, I can tell it's almost over with. Let's just blame it on the danged Canadians!!!! :smoke:

    There have been a few perfect opportunities where having a cigar on a longer ride would have been just right; but like I mentioned, there wasn't even a want for one. I even went as far as looking through the coolidor until I realized....."I don't want one"

    Hope that those of you who can are enjoying them!!! :handshake:

    Ha! Got feeling better (thanks) and then relapsed! Well, that was at the beginning of the weekend. This morning, felling better and planning out which cigar to have when the time presents itself this week.

    Maybe tomorrow?

    Yes sir, I believe I bought a 5 pack & enjoyed the one I tried. I will do some digging to make sure that those are what I bought.
