Had one picked up from local shop.
Beautiful build, lighted well, lots of earth and spice initially, after first inch got some cinnamon, spice but balanced nicely.
Barnyard in the second third with toast and something like walnut a bit.
This cigar kept changing but not overpowering any of its flavors.
Last inch was some leather and earth.
Enjoyed it a lot as it kept my attention.
Found em decently priced for under a 100 so I went for it.
Should be even better after a month or two in the humi.

Hard to say Bill! I'm pretty disciplined when it comes to that sort of thing. For example.... I remember being gifted a few PL Encantos RE's back in late 2011, bought mine back in early 2012, and still haven't touched them.

Risky as I get older though. I always think of my good friend Infinity! I might not be around one day and they all end up in someone's else's collection. o_O

But you have to Admit, a lot of the joy is in collecting them and having them.

You make a very good point. After my best friend died of a sudden heart attack, I find myself sampling cigars from boxes I never would have even opened before...
