All I can add is that they are a great smoke. Now I have to dig and see if I have one left!!

Definitely a good buy at the current 2 for 1. Quite tasty, not as strong as most Nic's but some nice subtle spice. I just picked up some of the lonsdales from the Monster, but have yet to burn one. I did have one in a blind tasting and it was quite good.

Hey Jeff,

You interested in a box split?

Thanks for the info guys. I may have to look into this, although I'm not supposed to buying any more yet.

They are fantastic!!!

I had one about a year ago and really really enjoyed it.
They are very different then anything else and the only cigar that I swear made my touch feel like I had been eating pepper.

The combination of black pepper with an underlying sweetness is very interesting.

If I could I would, but not at the moment!

Saw Bobarian's review in a BTT and remembered that I received one of these in a PIF. Fished it out and fired it up today (it was the lonsdale size -- think that's a Pimiento).

I was suprised and pleased by the heft, the quality of the construction and the burn, and the flavor. Really nice aroma, too. Mine had some age on it, though I can't say how much because it came in a PIF. I didn't get much pepper at the beginning, probably because of the length and ring gauge, but the last 1/3 certainly delivered some cayenne and deep dark sweetness -- it reminded me of the flavor combination of dark chocolate with chili pepper. A very good quality smoke for sure.

I think I'll look into a purchase myself, probably a five pack through CigarAuctioneer because of my current funding situation, and I think that I may go with a robusto to see if a little more filler and a little less wrapper kicks it a up bit.

I did a review of this stick on CS. Must have been a bum stick. The prior ones were really enjoyable.
