Trying out this freebie Bolivar. Never had a real one to compare it to so, flying blind, you could say. It's weird, easy draw but had to relight it twice. Not much flavor, not very strong. Certainly wouldn't pay Cuban prices for them. Probably not going to finish it.

Sorry to say my guy, not real. Those are really... really good in real life!
Unless I can't see the embossing... real has embossing
A buddy of mine opened a new lounge, so I'm checking it out. A little pricey, or a lot pricey. Thought I'd try something new to me that I've never even heard of before. Paid 14.50 for it.
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.

Looks good, was it?
Way back when, Alex Svenson was Chief Merchant here at CCOM and I remember him once remarking that we'd be surprised at how many times a specific cigar would be sold under different labels. It all came about because of people saying "I like this, but not that", that being the same cigar sold under a different label.
Obviously I have no opinion on this particular cigar, like you I'd never heard of it, and from the picture it looks like a pretty decent smoke.
So, was it?

It was really really good! Started off kinda medium, and transitioned to something freaking awesome. I will buy more.
I thought it was like an $8 stick when I looked it up the first time, but upon further review, it goes for $12.50 MSRP. The sticker on it was $13.38, so I wasn't getting raked.

That's comedy gold. Background on that. There was this real dink who came on this forum sometime back just to promote his cigar videos. A real leather and mahogany guy. His videos were bombing on YouTube. Nobody was watching them. I told him that I could make a channel that got 10 times the views of him in about 5 seconds, and a real man was born.
I was getting 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 000 views on every new video. No thumbnails. No editing. One take, one review, one video. One minute time invested into each one lol.
I finally got sick of doing the stupid videos. I am retired forever. As the champion.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

Couldn't have been real. It sucked. Only an inch in and tossed. I hope the guy didn't pay top dollar.

Feels good to be back home.
I have no problems, just more work to do.
That is a real man's cigar right there buddy. Well done. 👏

I have to agree with Nick @Usaf06 these are pretty damn good.
