I need a lot of help with caps. Maybe you could do a video or series of photos w/ explanation. Your cigars look great.

PM sent on the nub sized smoke Andrew.

Andrew, I just looked back at your first pics in Oct and the ones you posted yesterday and all I can say is WOW. After reading the reviews I will definitely be picking up some in the future.
Looking good

Sweet, Roxy Nubs.... or wait, Nub is trademarked, and Roxy was taken from your dog.... So, Roxy Pugs?

[irratebass]

Cute dog

[BlkDrew]

Or stub. But the pug pic is funny.

I had a Dobie Rotti mix about 10 years ago, i work with a lot of shepards, yet somehow my wife talked me into getting a Pug... im confused. Dont judge me...

[Blak Smyth]

Butt

Just recently came off the road and the first smoke I wanted to try was the maduro roxy. It had a good pre light smell and flavor, eventhough the prelite draw was abit tight I lit it up. Dispite it being young it burned well and lasted about 90min without a relight. It's flavor was boardering on greatness but must set longer. The rest will stay put for a few months to see how they mature. Love these smokes.

Damn bro. You are getting hella good at it.

I really enjoyed the Roxy M's i have been smoking and just got a 5er of Roxy S in the mail from Andrew. They look fantastic. They are taking a little nap before i try them. I'll let you guys know how they smoke when i try one next week.

Andrew...I'd like to try out some of your Roxys. Can you PM me so we can discuss a sell?

wow, almost hit the second page... we should make this a Sticky... who knows maybe some day.
I just purchased a bunch more of the Maduro leaves already opened from LeafOnly, although this time i think they really over wetted them.

I also purchased through the guy in Ohio, Whole Leaf tobacco, i still have yet to receive his shipment, but i bought through ebay. I purchased a lb of the Dominican Liger, and Dominican Seco.

Who else has purchased from him? how was the tobacco when you got it?

I purchased from him, but I don't believe he has Dominican tobacco, all the stuff listed on his site is US grown.

It doesn't come opened or anything, but the leaf comes at a decent moisture to make destemming fairly easy. If you open the bag the leaves are shipped in and let them sit over night, the destemming is a little less of a hassle, the leaf likes to stick to your fingers the way its shipped and can lead to some tears. Overall hes a good place to go, but I wasn't a big fan of the flavors from the tobacco, very mildly flavored, the broadleaf wrapper was just about all I could taste.

Well I made a purchase through him, did not like what i got so i returned it. He feels as though i am working for some guy from Leaf Only and that i just wanted to find out what he was selling.

Long story short is i returned the tobacco with DC and he is not giving me a refund. here is the email conversation.


Yeah, right...you're going to leave negative feedback any way i refund you're order. You're a plant from LeafOnly and I don't sell on ebay anyway. Go ahad and leave your feedback. I'll be smoking LeafOnly sooner than they can say "fire it up"

Cute maneuver Rich. I never knew about you before I started WholeLeaf. You will soon learn you've chosen the wrong enemy.

btw...no refund will be issued

Thanks

Thank you for your reply. Now that I know you know what you're talking about, I'll be happy to refund your full purchase price.

In four years of doing business, you're the first person to ever complain and it was VERY important to me to understand what your problem was.

So, if you don't mind me asking....where do you get your long filler from and what do you pay for it?

Please join the FairTradeTobacco.com forum and share your knowledge about tobacco.

Thanks,

Don Carey

So wait... you returned a product and the dude refuses to return your money? I'd contact the better business bureau and the authorities... I don't care if it is $3 you are owed. That's just plain sh*tty business practice. Stuff like that really fires me up...

I opened a dispute in payfail and he refunded the money... all is good.
