They are tasty, aren't they.

I sent a half box of the lanceros to Seattle with Charlie to pass out at the Mossback herf tonight. Should be popular.

I'm sure they will!

Hopefully I'll see the mossbacks some Tuesday night next month.

This should be my final week as an evening/weekend tax filer volunteer. It's been a long four months but *very* satisfying helping people less fortunate than myself.

Nice pics and review. I just received my first box of RM's, belicosos (though they actually look more like torps, to me). My box was not wrapped either, and like yours, was shipped in bomb-proof packing. I went ahead and lit one up when I got home from work and went to walk the mutt. Pretty nice!!!

Excellent. Glad to hear the other sizes are as good as this corona.

Butt... why did they choose such a long name for these?? Because I keep typing M-I-R-A-L-O-R-F !!


Well it cracks ME up.

Yes you did! Thanks for sending those up here

Well, I had to fire into it last night as my evening began to wind down. At first I was really blown away by the spicy character of it. Initially it left an ugly taste in my mouth but I trooped onward.

About a 3rd of the way into it, it began to really open up. The spicy blast began to mellow a great deal as well. As Joan so eloquently mentioned, it definately had that espresso/chocolate character round out the flavor profile.

I can't say I enjoyed it as much as some you guys, but it was a really nice change of pace for me and I certainly see a lot of promise for this brand going forward!

Another ....I smoked the one I received early this morning. Very nice cigar and also a very nice gift for those of us known as the PNW "Mossbacks".
