A totally unsolicited package hit my mail box this week from danm.

In the blind trades I had liked the Viaje Honey&Hand Grenades sent by Jeebs so he decided I needed more. Best as I can identify the box contained:

Honey& Hand Grenades Shiv x3
JSK Tyrannical Buc Generosos? in Maduro and Connie (not really sure since the bands and size look different from what I see with a search) NH
JSK Red Knight in Maduro and Habano NH
Toothpick in Maduro and Habano NH
Warfighter .50 Cal Maduro NH

Looks like I'm in for some smoking adventures.

Thanks Dan!






This will not stand!!

Dammit! Did I miss some sort of secret bombing run? 🤦

Nonetheless, well done Danm! =d>

As always, well done, Dan! You are the most generous brother 😎

You tried the JSK Kralot which is not my favorite. It's not a terrible cigar but it's terrible for my tastes. It matches the profile of a lot of popular cigars that lean into the harsh gritty dirt MSA flavors that I really can't stand. But JSK makes some solid cigars. Tenski took over distribution for them. Not sure if they're gonna be tenski exclusives and drive quality down the toilet or if they're gonna hold up over time but I sent a sampler of the initial batch that CP sold. YMMV if you buy more as is the way things go when lines turn into shpo exclusives.

All the JSK I bought sub $3per. Dunno what the retail is on them but the Red Knight lonsdale is great. The others are all great at the price I paid.

Dunno if you were ever into the MUWAT Baitfish, but I've been on a quest to find a suitable replacement and the Minuteman Warfighter 50 cal maduro is as close as I've found. It's a potent short smoke and I got em first for about $3, then another deal at $2.22 and finally a 20 pack for $1.16. So evaluate it from the $2 cigar segment which is where the Baitfish were for me.

Nice job Dan, well deserved.
All great smokes to try out. I just ordered a second round of all the JSK which look like may very well be a new rolling of sorts. So I guess we'll see how they hold up from the original batches

Dan is the man!
