2024 Springtime Blind Reviews With a Twist · Page 4

Nice one, Z!

Huzza's box arrived today and it included:

3 blind smokes
1 Illusione Rothschild Connecticut, which I don't think I've ever had (always smoke the SA) and am looking forward to.
1 Oliva MB3, which I really like
1 box of Old Kentucky Chocolates, which won't see another sunrise
1 tin of Lapsang Souchong tea, which is interesting and, yes, I would have totally thought it was pipe tobacco until I opened it

and

A cool as chit homemade clock made from a Cuban Cohiba box!

Awesome hit Huzza! Way beyond necessary but most appreciated.

Jeebs, your box will be shipped in the timely and professional manner everyone has come to expect from me, so probably June(ish).

Glad you like it! If you’re not a tea guy, I’d recommend using it to make a smoky simple syrup. I usually make a jar of it to add to my bourbon old fashioneds. I call it a “Burnt Reynolds”

Lapsang Souchon is kind of like the Tea worlds version of peated scotch or Latakia pipe baccy….not for everyone and I actually enjoy it with less sweetener. In a tin? Harney and Sons? They also make a smoked bourbon tea.

Well well well….now I feel like I really underdid my send.

Dan’s end arrived intact. Long day today and this was a pleasant surprise.

2 bags of homemade jerky (1 is marked spicy)
1 HUGE bag of Albanese gummy bears (these are very tasty)
A nice “Grid Life” sticker, gonna have to figure out what that’s going on.

And cigars.

TOO MANY damn or as I’ll for ever say too many DANM cigars.
(2013) Tatuaje TAA Gran Chisseur (nh)
2 Illusione Epernay LE Grande (love em!)
Fuente Hemingway Untold Story Maduro (great summertime fireside)
Illusione Haut 10 Toro

Apparently ^ this was just the “I know what you like bag”.

Mi Querida Ancho Largo (toro) a shpo go to
Warped Lirio Rojo (nh)
Illusione Oneoff Allegria Corona (nh this one)
Charter Oak Corona
Fuente Hemingway Short Story (very much prefer the nat in this vitola)
The Tabernacle maduro corona (nh this size)
Penn Standard corona? 6x48 to my eye, never HEARD of this one)

^ now I see both these bags marked PIB….good grief

And the legit bag:

FOUR unbanded cigars not 3, again you overachieving bassturd.
And he decided to round this 5 fingered bag with a big middle finger.

A 2016 Opus X either a Perfection X or Perfexion #2? Only toro sized Opus I’ve ever had were out of holiday packs.

Very nice double hit Dan, I will honor your generosity by getting to my review duties asap. I’m on call and battling a kidney stone this weekend but I’ll try to get to at least one.

Thank you!

Man 'o' man Z, It looks like you got beat up pretty good,

I can't help but wish you the best. Danm's beat down would be welcome by anyone, but a fuggin kidney stone. Sorry to hear. Hopefully that will dismiss itself quickly

Glad it all landed Z and you noticed it was also pib blended in. Left my note on the printer. Spicy jerky has a small amount of homegrown ghost pepper powder in the marinade. I don't think its spicy, but my coworkers acted like I was trying to kill them when I shared it. The Opus I got from someone else in 2016 so it could be older. Albanese candy factory is right down the road from me. Probably equidistant to me and Sunoverbeach.

Brutal, danm.

"Burnt Reynolds" is funny. I'm looking forward to trying the tea. It'll be fun.

This wasn't all spring blind review.

I picked him up in PIB since I was sending a box anyway and could do his asks.

I did break the rules with 4 blinds and an opus instead of the 3+2 but shenanigans are quietly encouraged. 🌫

Received my box from Papa today.
A nice bottle of Ferrindino Maple Syrup, which will be put to good use as soon as I can taste again, and a nich selection of 5 sticks plus the 3 unnamed.
The five?
AF 858 Anniversary Maduro - NH
AF Hemingway Work Of Art Maduro - A Favorite
Cohiba Black - Been a while
San Cristobal Supremo - NH
Warped Chinchalle- NH and have been wanting for a while

And of course the three unbanded and a envelope with all the secrets.
All packed nicely in a AF 858 box.
I cant wait to get into this, however it's gonna have to wait a bit. Still recovering from pneumonia and taste/smell is shot. Hopefully for next weekend.
