    Ok, now we're talking! This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time! Thank you VERY much Yoop! Now we'll know for sure what the bottom is. This is awesome!

    How the heck did you find this?

    Bookmarked... But as far as the LFD... They make wide variety. I haven't had that many of theres... cause I tend to grab the double chisel one, when I do. There kinda of like the AF's .. I like, just don't necessarily buy all the time cause of the price point. But they are a nice sit back and enjoy cigar from time to time...

    Had one of these Friday. Got about 2/3 done (hour and 15 min) before it got too harsh (tar?) for my tastes.

    I thought these had a bit of a bite to them myself. Not bad, but a bite. Felt every drag in my throat.

    The one I had friday was the first one I smoked down to 2/3. The others went south before 1/2 and found themselves resting out in a snowbank.

    Maybe the extra time in the coolidor helped out.

    Very well could have. I'll have to let the other 4 I have sit for a bit and see if I have the same experience.

    Tried having another one of these today on the ride home. It was a no go, big time! Well, that makes 1 out of 4 that was good....


    Ended up having this one instead. (yes, I took a spare along!)

    I have had these in the last few days:

    I didn’t like this Corona as much as the cigarillo.

    These are Gurkhas as well, I thought I recognized the Hansotia name on them.
