I wouldn't call it ugly, maybe rustic would be a better word. However, it's pretty hard to find and the cheapest I found online was $6.50 for the robusto ($5.50 if you buy a box). If anyone knows of a cheaper source, please let me know. As to the dual review, I think both of you did a pretty good job for a first effort. I would love to see another one.

Of course this is an "advanced" feature that will take a bit to learn but its definitely something I'd like to do along with offering a full screen version of reviews instead of 320x240.

I would enjoy more of these episodes in the future. Although I'm an outdoor smoker only around the house and bans are popping up everywhere in the Kansas City area, I don't think I could pay to smoke at a shop or lounge - maybe that's the cheapskate in me, but I'd rather spend the money on a good smoke and drink and do it for free!

For whatever reason that is how it smokes best. Also, I seem to recall the suggested retail for these being in the $4-$7 range. Overall, I really enjoyed the Alonso Menendez as you'll see from <a href="http://www.stogieguys.com/2006/10/stogie-reviews-alonso-menendez-robusto.html" rel="nofollow">my review of the robusto</a> from last October. Good review gentlemen! Guys-

I like when you keep them separate and are to the point. Having to flip back and forth from Jerry and Walt's reviews was too long in my opinion. Also I miss the slapstick of Jerry nearly burning his house down or puking on camera too. :-) Too long of a review. I like when you keep them separate and are to the point.
