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

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...

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.
