    I had one over a year ago and thought it was pretty good for a flavored cigar. I’m not much into flavored cigars, but having one once in a while can be enjoyable.[/QUOTE]

    Same here about the frequency of flavored. I bought some knock off coffee flavored almost a year ago and must have 1/2 of them left.

    I'm thinking it isn't a bad thing to hoard cigars. The first couple of years, 99 really got on my case about it. Now, I smoke way less than I used to (working back then) and I order less but the proportion is still more cigars than I smoke. She hasn't said anything about the hoarding here. :whistle:

    Yup, they are. And delays in shipping. So far, it is a 3 day delay..... I called yesterday and asked if the warehouse is understaffed....is that the reason for the delays? My answer sounded canned but they did answer no.

    Agreed. I just wanted to listen to what they would say. Now it makes me wonder if it will be safe from contamination. :doh:

    Lit one of these today and I think I'm going to like them! I've been on a coffee kick lately.... Hey, maybe wildwest would like one! :D :rofl: :lol:

    I honestly don't know if I've ever had a macanudo before; may have to try some more of their line.

    No Way!! He brought home some little skinny ones after we won a years long legal battle ( :headbang: dipchit is using the courts being closed from Covid19 to try to change things :hair::headbang: ). Anyway he kept opening the espresso one and saying "smell it, just smell it!" Hee hee, I'll stick with my coffee maker but glad you found a cool double like cigar!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You sound just like 99! :thumbs:

    You are right though..... I have found only one that smells good after it is lit; not only before it is lit. :handshake:

    Had enough time for a re-light of this cigar today.

    First.....re-lights never seem to go well...at all. I have only enjoyed a handful of re-lights over the last few years of cigars. This cigar was not one of them. I smoked it down to about 1/2 and that was it. The first light, was almost to an inch of the cigar; so the second time was almost 2" before it was un-enjoyable.

    I hope giving the them a nap in the coolidor will help and have another try near summers end?
