I was writing tests for high school, as this week is Midterm test week, and I got a package from njstone.

and HOLY COW, what a package! 15 cigars I have NEVER seen or tried! What is better than that?

Tatuaje (a favorite)--Monster, TAA exclusive, Casita Criolla--2 sizes, black?, avion, fausto estelli, and the special 2009 beauty

Casa Magna Domus Magnus Limitada, 2 red label illusione (88 and cg:4), Carrillo short run, and another 2 Carrillos (black and white labels), and a BIG FAT cigar without a label.

I am awe-struck. I will cherish each and every smoke. Njstone, I am in your debt, where I always seem to be.

Glad they arrived safe, Brian! Yea, they're all good sticks (for me at least). 2011 was a GREAT year for non-Cuban cigars, imvho. This should catch you up a bit :)

The unlabeled cigar is a Cromagnon ("Mandible" size). They are very strong and very full-bodied, but tasty. The EPCs can be tough to tell apart until you know the names. The white label is the "New Wave Connecticut," and the black is the "Elencos," and the Short Run is the 2011 version. The red label Illusiones are the new maduros.

I put 2 sizes of the La Casita in there because the little corona is different ... much spicier ... than the other sizes. Seems to be a love it or hate it cigar line, as the cigars are REALLY dirty! I wasn't sure after the first one I had, but now I'm sure I love them :)

I think you'll like the La Verite 2009. It uses some Pelo d' Oro tobacco, which is awesome tasting, but very complex, so some sticks are spicier than others. I usually smoke these in the morning/mid-day on a clean palate to get the most out of it, but ymmv.

The answer is: No, a rhombus is not an example of a parallelogram.

smoked the Cromagnon yesterday--AMAZING! and the La Verite was magnificent. to be honest, i did not expect much out of the casa magna Domus Magnus, but it blew me away!

and i loved that dirty little sucker, but have not had the big 'un yet.

thanks. all top drawer smokes!
