--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe it's because I'm on a cruise sitting outside on the balcony having a cigar while watching the island passing away in the distance,,,my belly is full of Filet Mignon with 3,,,,that's right,, 3 8 ounce Lobster Tails w/drawn butter,,salad,,tons of bread,,coffee,,,chocolate sunday and an extra entree' of swordfish.

I crawl back to our cabin with the top button of my pants unbuttoned so I can breathe and take off my dinner clothes,,put my stretchy pregnant pants on so I can breathe and pick out the closest cigar out of my travel humidor,,Felipe Gregorio ICON,,,I'm thinking WTH as I have never smoked one of these and I now remember why I got them. C Bid where I scored a 5 Pak for $9 and I'm doubting myself on this buy,,,didn't think I'd win it but what about this cigar,,is it a POS wrapped in a nice oily wrapper which actually smells like a really good cigar? Take a chance I thought,,,,very glad I did as I have 4 more of these suckers.

TASTE Complex with coffee and leather and a touch of pepper
and hints of mocha and then vanilla that was like butter.

LIGHT UP Took my time ( as I was still belching lobster, fish and
beef )

DRAW Outstanding,,very easy draw with more than enough
smoke,,,I actually wanted to inhale and did,,it was
good and I hardly ever inhale,,,it was reallly really good.

POSITIVES I would think that this cigar would sell a lot more than
I am aware,,,it's really a good cigar and for the price
of $9 for 5 of them,,,,JACKPOT!
