   At the 2/3 break I noticed that Ed’s San Andreas version had a V-notch cut. I don’t see many people use that. Do you prefer that in general, or do you recommend it for particular blends, or was it just the closest cutter at hand?

   Very enjoyable review. I have enjoyed other Por Larranagas, and will give this one a try, too.

   Thanks,
   Jack

   Thanks for answering my question! I’m glad your hair doesn’t start on fire when you purge (whether it be cigars or yourself)

   Thanks for the great review!

   Thanks guys for checking out the review.

   Jack,
   Ed has been sticking with the V cutter for awhile now. Usually when I go out, I’ll take the scissors with me, but at home I use the V often. I think the V cut can enhance a cigars profile due to the focusing of the smoke area. But that’s just my opinion.

   MJ,
   I don’t have too much to offer to the cigar community, but if I can offer any advise about hair, I feel obligated to do so

   Great review again guys, i really get a kick outta watching them.
   You guys should do a review on that NUB Conn. id like to hear eds take on them and the Nub “theory” of short cigars with huge ring gauges.

   Hey guys great review…I like that you both smoked different versions!!

   quick question… is that the “Cuban Grade” or just the regular Por Larranaga?

   Thanks… and keep it going!

   I really enjoy y’alls reviews, they are always fun to view.

   How awesome it must be to run a cigar shop, man what a gig!

   Rich M,
   This is Cuban Grade version since they mentioned Cuban Importers as manufacturer.

   BTW, Cigars International has them at $40-$50 per box right now. I’ve ordered a box after the glowing review from Tom and Ed. At $2 a stick, you cannot go wrong, IMO.

   Thanks again all for checkin out the review and all the comment love.

   Just a reminder… If anyone wants to pick Ed’s brain more, feel free to send it to me on my blog or here.

   Frogman - Maybe Ed can do the conn. and I’ll do another style nub.

   Rich - Danashan is right, it’s the cuban grade.

   Tbone - I’d love to have Ed’s gig! I’ve often threatened to buy him out when he retires in 6-7 years. Now only if I can get the money…

   Danashan - WOW what a great deal! I may have to check it out. Don’t tell ed

   Weak link - I’m too am thinking about getting a box now to replace the RP Conn. in my morning rotation.

    Excellent!!! after seeing the review I went scouting for these, and just couldn’t believe the price CI was offering them at… so I had to ask

    Thanks for the reply, and thanks for helping me spend yet another $40 on cigars!

    Tom, don’t give me a reason to come to Tampa! I’d pony up some cash to help.

    You would have to do your best to keep me out of the inventory though.

    My only stipulation would be to have SEC football on a few tv’s all fall long.

    sounds like Heaven to me.
