I'm partial to the smell of Grandma's biscuits.

Can easily relate to that. My Grandma made the best carmal rolls EVER. -(P

There is a whole ton of fail in this statement.

I was thinking a) I wouldn't want a cigar that tastes like granny's toots and 2) Even if there was one I'd never admit to being able to identify that particular component. :lr

These are going out tomorrow, not today... all packed up, but no ink in the home printer. I'll have to go into the office and print them out tomorrow...

Here I thought he was talkin' about Gram's biscuits. I really need to move into the left lane to keep up.

Who knows... if this works out well I may keep them going. 5 cigars seems like a more reasonable commitment as 10 stalled out a few times. I've always wanted to do one with a newb and someone who's been smoking cigars and been on the boards for a while, too. Very excited to see the difference in tastes/opinions on these cigars!

Says it will be here Monday, I'm sure it will be, my luck effects everything, not limited to me or my immediate space it seems, if my name is attached the sky is the limit. Only makes sense a package would go from NY to PR before heading west :lr :tu

As your designated Newb I thought it beneficial to provide a brief overview of myself and my cigar background. Retired from a 20 year Army career in '91, and subsequently retired from a Civilian career last year. Took up cigar "therapy" as another means of relaxation a couple months back and admit it's an enjoyable "ride". So far my sticks have included mostly Connecticuts by AB, AF, Oliva, Nub, R&J, CAO, and 5-Vegas. My cigar pairings most often include water, coffee, or an occasional beer. I'm looking forward to this blind cigar "experiment" (as Dan called it) and certainly thank him for his generosity and willingness to track & compile the results. I'll provide my best opinions as honest and concisely as I can. I offer no promises of glittering generalities of flavorful notes or nuances. But I've been practicing chewing on leather, tasting hay, & crunching acorns (I was going to say nuts (but am a quick learner)) for the past week. So you'll be hearing from me ASAP or ricky-tick (an old Army term).
