    Bought a 5er of those years ago. Tried a couple and didn't like 'em. Gave a couple more away but saved one.

    The one I saved, I forgot all about having it until a few years down the road......so I had it then. :yes: Wishing I hadn't given any of them away!

    I got an 8-pak sampler and have tried 2 of them so far. The other one was a Cuban Cohiba Behike that I didn't care for. Under stand that these are knock offs.

    Had my second free will from the same order yesterday. Unfortunately, this one was nowhere as good as the first one was. And I had already order 10 more.......:doh:

    Had a Herrera Esteli Habano Special Edition lancero, on the way back to town today. Almost been sitting for a year. Since I got them. My first one. My favorite of the Herrera's so far. Burn was perfect. I got a bit of spice and what I think was a floral taste right after. I really liked this one.

    What size was it? I typically don’t care for their shorty or the two bigger sizes in the flight sampler. I can’t remember which middle size cigar I liked better the robusto or corona but both were way better then the others.

    I wish I'd have gone with a coolidor from the get go. Been 3 weeks, and it just dropped 1% in humility, and that's even with getting in it once a week, or so. So much more stable. I love the look of wooden humidors, but in my experience they are a bit more finicky.

    Had a Rocky Patel today.

    Yessir, it's box pressed. It wasn't too bad. Had a lot more pepper and spice than I like. It got smoother as I smoked it, so that was good.

    How are you doing with cigars? Things smoothed out for ya yet?

    I will say, Ave Maria's have one of my favorite bands.

    The Ave Maria’s that I let rest for 12-18 months were the ones I liked the best.

    As far as cigars go, I have a had a couple sporadically. Nothing that I thought had any flavor. When a My Father tastes like an ash tray smells, it’s a waste.
