Cannot wait till these things hit Cbid...aged 7 years and rum infused. I got a pre release treat coming.

Me wants

460% off MSRP!!!!

Hehe

And rolled by the most wrinkled old woman hands in the business...just like grandma, AKA nubs, used to roll

Take em outta the tube and hang them on a clothesline for a week or two before lighting.

MSRP of 150 a stick.... but today for $19.95

use them as fire starters for the fireplace.....

Maybe aged 7 days in 7 yr old rum?

I like the way they ripped off Makers Mark's red wax seal. Smoke cigars and drink rum; the only way the two should be together. [ram27bat]

i'm preparing my (lower) case for lower court.

I ashed the lighter colored one tonight. Surprisingly good. Held a good ash, no bitterness, no bad surprise on relight, it did not explode, and it had some diverse flavors. Since I have no idea what the Ecuador rum tasted like in the bottle, all I can say is it must have an interesting flavor. Me and a few friends picked up nuances of Chocolate, Grape, and Coconut.

I give it a 4 out of 5, good solid smooth smoke, a bit loose on the draw for my liking, one of the better Gurkhas I have ever tried, glad the crew wont get any of these for a while, they would toss the others.

Not a bad pre release.

As usual, three of the fiver are destined to land on deserving doorsteps. The last one I'll save for 10 years.

Now to wash my mouth out with bleach and go to confession 🙏 since it is Sunday. [sarcasm]

Gurkah haters are going to hate.

Gurkha has no factory? Imagine that. Thanks for the great information, I never would have known. Who actually produces Gurkha and what factory do they come from? I like that such expensive cigars can be bought here for a very reasonable price.

you're asking too many questions... smoke your cigar, keep your head down, and just respond 'sir, yes sir' when trish addresses you... inquisitiveness like that will get you swimmin' with the dpnewells...

also, I sincerely hope that last sentence of yours was a joke...

Do I really need to post one of these for my previous post? [sarcasm]

They look like they're already falling apart inside the glass tubes!

I believe Abuelo is a product of Panama. Decent rums, not spectacular, not bad, and generally worth the $$$
