What price can you get them at? Maybe I can use a tiny portion of tax money to split with you.

Once upon a time there was a site that had a sampler with 2 each of herrera estellis (toro), nica rusticas, undercrowns, KFC muwats, regular muwats, antano's and dark antano's... got it for $37 a number of times... I thought it was phenomenal at that price but current prices look a little crazy...

I've had a handful of them, I don't remember CC popping into my head, but they were some of the better DE smokes I've had.

I Just remember they didn't have that weird sweet taste that I've had in other DEs (some people like it, I don't care for it).

Have sent several in blind review passes.

2/3 "passed" the test, but all did note "not quite right, but might be" or something similar.

I've gone through a few boxes of the lonsdale, but haven't tried any new production for at least 2 years, and have none left. They didn't age very well imo.

Never pay retail and you can find them at decent price. The Norteno is good too. I like the curivari Buenaventura but I hesitate to say cubanesque for any non cubanesque though there are often similarities......generally in Nicaraguans with minimal pepper blast?
