Read earlier about having all the things in one discussion so as not to clutter up. So, forgive the multiple discussions.

Genuine Pre-Embargo Counterfeit Cuban

Long name but surprisingly decent cigar; I really hadn't placed much faith in it. Nicaragua wrapper, Ecuador Sumatra binder, and Honduras and Nicaragua filler. Granted I was drinking a River City root beer while smoking, I got some flavors of vanilla, brown sugar, and even a little bourbon. All in the second half of the cigar. The first half wasn't anything memorable. Intention is to have another go and if I can pick up the same flavors I might buy another fiver and let sit a year or so. Remember kids, if she has an apple, she has a banana. 'Til next time.

    Enjoyed a Poison Dart this morning. I feel like that sentence hasn't been created too many times before. Still practicing the retrohale and whilst considering the vast expanse of space between my ears, I had a brainwave. One word. Cinnamon. Enlightenment is one step closer.

    Big ups to @JGruvey
    I did not want this cigar to end. I have to say, this was a top notch smoke for me. The flavor did not change down to the nub. I burnt my fingers. The retrohale did not burn me at all and I couldn't help but to send it out of my nose each puff. TYVM. I don't know how long these have been chilling in that cooler but wow, what a way to enjoy the first night of the Harvest Moon. Cheers!

    @Hawks I bought 300 of them after I tried my first. Cheers to @VegasFrank for introducing me to it.

    Glad you enjoyed it.

    Plus, a groovy 'stache like yours goes better with a cigar than a pipe. Just sayin'...

    I’m with you Chris. Pipes have been relegated to early mornings and air conditioned pipe club at the B&M.

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.
