Bundles, Seconds and Over-Runs

[ZenSilk]

I got a bundle of unbranded perfectos from TNTcigars, for about 45 bucks. They ended up being pretty delicious. Not very consistent, because 2 of the 7 I have smoked were... revolting (harsh, soapy, acrid) but the others were creamy, spicy, a bit sweet and very chocolatey. I feel I got a good deal.

The Little Havana Overruns at Holt's are great. I would also recommend the Tropical Fever smokes from there as well. They only come in a thick robusto vitola, but if you're looking for a hearty Nicaraguan Puro, they're a great value.

Do those LHO III's have cellophanes on them? I ask because in my mind an un celloed cigar has a better chance of more people touching the cigar than one in a cello. I can handle the roller or the person putting the cello on it touching it, but the more people that touch it the less appealing it is to me. No cello means a much better chance someone scratched their a$$, jiggled their sack or skewered a nose nugget then touched the cigar I'm going to put in my mouth.

Typically, there are about 400 pairs of hands that touch the tobacco that goes into making cigars.

If you touch a public doorknob or money, you are touching the most filthy things in the world with more germs than imaginable. Does that freak you out too?

I know, but don't remind me, Greg...

And think of all those un celloed sticks that get the nose treatment from finicky customers.

Tobacconists should pass out gloves and masks like they do in rare book rooms!

Now we know what that "Barnyard Funk" really is... "Nutsack Musk!"
