Re: Cigar Expectations: Success and Failure
Looking back over the years I have put together a simple list. It's not conclusive, but it gives you an idea of my palette.

Re: Rolling your own
So I finally got around to rolling up some cigars. Without the use of a mold or tuck cutter, I think I did alright. I will post pictures soon.

If it's from leafonly, you may want to call them. I had part of my order missing as well and had to call him in order to make it right.

Re: nice rums?
So I compared the Zacapa 15 Anos Friday night. It tastes much like the Zaya Guat, except it has a bit more scotch? taste to me. It tastes a bit more grown up if that makes any sense. It is certainly...

Re: Rolling your own
Have any of you experimented with different bunching to see if that had any influence on flavor?
