Nice work, Dave.

Jack, when you get around to it, can you post us a little review?

In honor of this thread, I just smoked one of these. Yes, these really are fantastic. It had been a little while since I had smoked one.

Where might I find some of these online?

If the search is still on, this is probably a real good bet. I haven't smoked this particular vitola, but I enjoyed the belicoso just last night. It was of similar strength and flavor profile.

I've smoked gazillions, and they are fantastic.
Whether they still are made from the same tobacco, I can't tell you. I can't see why it would have changed, but they removed that info from the site a few years ago.
I'll bet that when you try them, you'll find that it's true.

Scott, I ordered a bundle of the No. 500 (4.5 x 50). It was $48.45 for twenty, which comes out to only $2.42 per stick (before shipping). I'll let you know how they are.

Jack, have you tried one of those HUHCs that Dave sent you yet? Would love to hear what you think.
