He did end up bringing a frosted glass. I waited until it warmed up a bit before pouring myself. I almost asked for a water glass, but didn't want to push the issue. It was one of the nicer restaurants in the Clearwater area with an excellent wine selection. They may not have beer down yet, but...

The restaurant I dined at last night had DFH Raison D'Etre as an addition to the menu. I'll overlook that our waiter asked if the bottle was fine or if I would care for a glass.

I'm definitely in the minority on this one, but I like the King B. When it's on, it's among the best I've had. The problem is I haven't had one yet that has been on for the entire stick. As has been mentioned, burn issues every single time. But I keep trying, hoping one day that magical B is out...

Thanks Ed! I'll be back in a little bit with a few easy to find sticks for those of you who have been looking to jump on this but don't have the HTFs to play. Edit to add: A few I would like to try, but have not purchased: Any Trinidad (cuban) Davidoff No.1 or No.3 (non-cuban) Any cigar you...

We were probably smoking a Nobles around the same time today. This stick has stayed consistent for me. Glad you enjoyed.

I just returned from my Property II final and can erase my mind of restrictive covenants, warranty deeds, etc. until the bar. Contracts II on Thursday night and I am done for 3 weeks until summer session.

Well done! :thumbs: The crudest stick I've ever seen, but I am more envious of it than any other that has graced this board.

I'm fortunate that Jessi Spano has taught me how not to handle the stress of exams ... watch video.

As someone who has never been exposed to woodworking, this post was very informative and makes the subject matter much more approachable. I hope you continue to share your techniques with the board.

A Boston Lager for you SA haters.

I should have known better.

The Blue Hawaiians

Very cool! I have got the same Haier unit and am not the enophile I had hoped to be. Please keep us updated on how it performs.

:laugh: It makes me wish Brevas would go back on special, so I could pick up a box or three.

Have not had the Tat Black. I suppose it would make for an interesting comparison. It's difficult to believe they share the same wrapper, perhaps this is a "second" of sorts for the wrapper leaves unable to make the cut.

I picked up a dozen of these sticks through Holt's on a $34.95 shipping included special. Beyond the sub $3 price point, my motivation for ordering was for nothing more than I liked the look of the band. From Holt's marketing: "This cigar shares a wrapper leaf with Tatuaje's prized Black...

I managed to find time to sit down at review my mystery stick from jayro75 over last weekend while editing a memorandum. Unfortunately, my notes were on the back of a draft and subsequently thrown away. I do however have pictures and a few thoughts. First Third - 8/10, I found this robusto...
