Yes you did! Thanks for sending those up here

Well, I had to fire into it last night as my evening began to wind down. At first I was really blown away by the spicy character of it. Initially it left an ugly taste in my mouth but I trooped onward.

About a 3rd of the way into it, it began to really open up. The spicy blast began to mellow a great deal as well. As Joan so eloquently mentioned, it definately had that espresso/chocolate character round out the flavor profile.

I can't say I enjoyed it as much as some you guys, but it was a really nice change of pace for me and I certainly see a lot of promise for this brand going forward!

Another ....I smoked the one I received early this morning. Very nice cigar and also a very nice gift for those of us known as the PNW "Mossbacks".

Of course! I am choosing frames now that I have a good dozen. Each print is a 4"x6" glossy. (except for Dogwatch Bob's shower cigar pics)

Now that tax season is over I'll have a little more time to devote to the Flat Rogue Gallery in the Girl Cave.

Took one for a spin this AM Joan. A Reserva Miraflor Churchill that was gifted to me from Al (awsmith4). Man, what an excellent little cigar. Some nice spice and flavor and the smoke had lots of aroma to it. Looks like I now have a new found favorite cigar here from Esteli. Now I have to start saving my pennies for a bundle of the robustos (my favorite size stick)
