Thanks for the review w/pics! It's a very attractive stick, too bad it went south with bitterness.

nice review

Good job on the review Kevin. Now, what is the specific importance of fetal bovine serum in cell culture? Growth factors or what?

Nice review and pictures. Thanks

My understanding is that the fetal bovine serum provides essential proteins and nutrients to nourish the cells. Basically soil is to plants as fetal bovine serum is to animal cells.

Gotta be peptide growth factors ... just gotta be.

BTW, don't look at the price of FBS. Not pretty.

So I've heard. Never thought I'd be discussing cell culture on the asylum.

Thanks for the review. IMO, Bucaneros are one of the most under-rated cigars around. I have never had a bad Bucanero - some have been interesting and different, but all have been very enjoyable. I agree with the bitterness in the last 1/3, this is pretty common to NC cigars unfortunately. I tend to characterize this as more of a "sourness", as the bitterness found in a cup of coffee can be appealing, for example, but sourness is just plain nasty. I suppose for this reason, there arent many NC cigars that I "nub out" regularly. Most go to eternal rest around the 2/3 mark.
