nice review. I liked the smoke but I couldnt find the “pepper” in it. But for 3 bux I’ll throw down any day.

Just smoked 2 of these last night at an Ashton event. They are the best $5 cigar I have ever smoked! Even better, they were only $3!

Brian,

Thanks for the review. I still have not smoked one. I just got back from Vegas and am a mess. By the way….one of the cigars I sent you is from 2000. 8 years old.

PS – the cigar tasting method. If it works, I say go with it. I prefer to use the sinuses (retrohaling), but sometimes I don’t feel like it, which is when I’ve found your method works fine.

I think we should do some kind of wrestling gimmick where we act genunly pissed at each other. “There’s a lot of smack talkin in the cigar scene. And I’m going to put a stop to it! Oooo yeeeaahh.” You get the idea. The ball is in your court now

Thanks guys!

You never know, Joel, McLovin just may make an appearance one of these days… Sometime when he least expects it! (Translation: Whenever I think of something clever.) LOL

Good idea tcr, I like the way you think. I’d be willing to settle out of court for a lifetime supply of smokes!

McLovin,
I have a method for tasting smokes? I didn’t realize that! LOL Yeah, I then to swish the the smoke around in my mouth and try to get it in the sinuses without reto-haling it. I haven’t been one for exhaling cigar smoke through my nose, though I should probably work on that. Maybe if I start doing it with milder smokes and build up…

And yeah, I’m all about the high road. That doesn’t mean I won’t through rocks down at you on the low road from time to time! (Beware!) LOL

Adam,
What you get is a good sense of accomplishment for eyeballing that cigar band! And, of course the opportunity to read the review of that mystery cigar on Wednesday, absolutely free of charge! (I’m just that generous!)

Thanks Jerry,
They seem to be getting easier to do. I had this one done in record time. Record for me, that is. It was nice to be able to do SOMETHING ELSE on Saturday other than screw around with the video!

Nice job Brian! These keep getting better and better every week.
