Vintage Vuelta Abajo

I'm so happy the cigar was a hit.
I can't tell you how happy I was that your old picture work and website update coincided with the arrival of the cigar. That's infinately cool. Goes to show that nothing in God's world happens by accident.

The pictures of the wrapper really show how gorgeous it really is. The cigar itself was absolutely beautiful. I hadn't seen it (obviously) and I'd not imagined it would be even remotely that pretty.
Did the guys think it was cool?
I'm not surprised it wasn't much in the flavor department. I'm not a fan of aged smokes at all, but the old girls I've smoked have definately been a unique experience. Certainly worthwhile to at least try it out.
Thank You for smoking that thing, Richard. The pictures and the story have honestly made me as happy as a guy can get.

The guys all thought it was super cool, what with the club history. I was the hero for a day. Thanks Scott, the circle is complete.
