I have enjoyed a handful or so. I would have more but they are a bit pricey. That Pete Johnson don't do anything cheap…yet. ;)

Excellent photo work there laddie, great color and excellent Depth of Field and composition on the band :tu

That compliment means a lot more coming from you!! I am humbled, thanks!

oh, I should have mentioned that the "before" shot was borrowed from an online retailer... I keep forgetting to take those before pics!

By far, this has got to be my favorite review I have ever read...Thank you so much...it made me laugh! Also, I absolute love the La Riqueza line, when the line first came out earlier this year...I burned through a box of the #2s SO FAST...it was scary...

Thanks, Moe! Tells me everything I need to know. I picked up a fiver and am looking forward to lighting them after they wake up from their post-travel nap.

Now THAT'S my kind of review!!!

Nicely done Moe!

Only suggestion would be, next time don't be so wordy. Reviews lose something if you get to wordy.

Nice review Moe!! Great job with the pictures even if you stole the first one (do I hear copyright lawsuit?).

I had a #2 recently and while it smelled GREAT pre-light I felt the post-light flavors did not fulfill the pre-light promise.

I've been astounded at how the Inmates over in the NC MAW have been able to fulfill wishes. I'm thinking that next time I'm up I'm going to wish for Elisha!

Well you could have asked Santa for her... but you just got stupid cigars instead!

We have a few boxes. After the initial release they don't sell too well for us.

Thought I'd piggy-back on Moe's thread to add a few pictures & review of my own.

Braved the cold & wind to smoke a #5 today. Rugged looking, oily & toothy wrapper. Well constructed. Definitely a complex & flavorful smoke. I was first hit with some wood & floral-like notes, all covered in pepper. About midway it turned earthy, with bitter chocolate & some more pepper. The aftertaste was tobacco & wood.

I enjoy these short med/full-bodied smokes. Not as much as the Illusione 68, but these are still very good.

I always pass over them because of the $9 price tag.


I really like saying "La Riqueza" though. I roll the R, like "La RRRRRRIQUEZA" and I say it with an exaggerated accent. :D
