I take all of the praise and criticism both to heart and in stride.

I would call the blend a medium to full with a nice draw, very flavorful with an incredible aroma and burns a chalk white ash.

I definitely would say it has a coffee hint to it with some hints of nut...like almond. There is a rawness to it that I enjoy the most. They age very well making the wrapper even more oily.

I love it. I hope you will to!



I apologize for not answering sooner...As you can imagine I have been swamped with getting this company off the ground.

I appreciate your question man. I do.

I didn't get on here to talk about me, just wanted to talk cigars. I miss that.

To keep it short, it's a mess...I've been trying to take the high road in this ordeal by being quiet, and at least for now, I would rather keep it that way.

I hope you understand.

Gotcha. I just didn't know if these were a one shop exclusive and maybe I missed the boat on them.

I didn't know they were never produced.

Good luck Sam! :tu

On a factual note and Interesting thing is my cigars that I have been dabbling with may have 6 month sitting in my cooler time marinating before I taste these frozen by tyranny cigars is the sad part... Prayers out Sam. Guess this is a great lesson in the business and who knows maybe its meant to be waited on and allow time to rest and develop into something more than what was the first initial creation.

Dude, when you write, expect that those reading what you wrote do not know what your private thoughts are. When you are done writing your reply to a post, and before hitting "submit reply," read what you wrote to make sure that it will make sense to everybody who reads it.

Can I try to translate for all?
(paragraph 1) Corey is trying to come up with an excuse for Sam in order to get out of the legal struggles. He's saying that it was really Corey who blended and rolled the new cigars, Sam put his name on them. (I believe it was an attempt at humor)

(paragraph 2) Corey really has been rolling his own cigars. Some of them are presently sitting in a cooler, where he will leave them to age for 6 months. He's then tries to tie that aging wait (he wants to smoke them now but has to wait out the experiment) to Sam's situation with a comment that he's sad some "tyranny" has "frozen" the cigars that Sam was to release.

(still para. 2, but should have been a new paragraph) He's offering prayers of support to Sam.

(still para. 2, but should have been another new paragraph) Maybe there's a lesson to be learned? Maybe after the wait, this will turn out even better outcome than would have happened if this situation hadn't developed.



This is an easy fix. "Aren't the forums here to entertain me as well hehe?"

Now, after reading what I have written, I'm wondering if I should have just left it alone? (at this point I am re-reading and wondering if I should hit "submit reply"?)

Well, Corey's a buddy - I'm not going to leave him there hanging. Let's add another post people can quizically ponder.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
