Nice.

Did CAO send these to your work place or did you bring em in on your own?

CRS?

I thought that stood for the disease I have...it's called the I "Can't Remember ****" disease.

It's a horrible thing to have!

FYI, 'CRS' stands for "Cigars Ready to Smoke." The packaging was done in light of the military "MRE" pacakges, i.e., "Meals Ready to Eat."

smoked mre's are considered haute cuisine in some parts of the world on par with smoked salmon.

And I thought all cigars were ready to smoke.... The ends are not clipped and they are not pre-lit. Sounds like a marketing gimmick to me....

Where's the handle on the side that you turn, to play the music and make them pop up? JonR

Ok.. here's my opinion...

smokes look and probably are great.. I definetly would like to try one...

but the packaging... COME ON.. why not just flush your cash down the crapper..

Obviously marketed for people with $$ to waste..

And on the point.. ya know what.. thats fine.. If people have the personal wealth to enjoy things like this I really dont have a problem with it..

Sell these in bundles and I'll put them in my hand made beautiful cherry humi's for display. I would rather pay for the cigar than the fluff.. JMHO..

You guys and gals are funny......lol

I gotta tell ya, I smoked the CAO Brazilia (6 7/8" x 50) last night and this is pure "Brazilia", if you've smoked one already you know what I mean. This one took a good 2 hours to complete. I loved every minute of it and I'm so glad I get to photograph this new stuff. But the draw back is you always end up wanting more. ARRRRRRRGGG!!

Bring on the Criollo's.........next!! 🙂
