Perfect, exactly my flavor profile, though I do enjoy my spicy sticks sometimes.

May get a 5ver of the 5ks then to get the order up over $50 so I can use their $10 off coupon

I would gladly send a few 1844s your way if you'd like.
I was bombed an 1844 before and enjoyed it, but I'm not sure which batch it was from. It was about 6 months ago IIRC.

No word on the Nic Maduros? They've intrigued me, especially when I see them on sale for $27 for a bundle of the churchills every now and then.
