For a couple years, Cbid had them on FF for cheap......was in fact one of the better deals for a decent smoke back then.

V-cut, perfect draw, perfect burn, tons of smoke, very smooth creamy smoke.

Bitter chocolate and black coffee notes, some charred wood and occasional spice.

Strength up there for last third.

I’ve always been curious about the business arrangement between Pete and the Garcias. How much do the Garcias charge Pete for rolling his cigars? Does Pete have access to any and all tobacco grown by them? If Pete identifies a particular crop, can he call DIBS! on them? Many other questions but those for starters.

Thankfully I have a good stash of older Jaime Garcia’s

They are spendy these days

Yah, they had a pretty ridiculous sale a few days ago. In a time when I’mma trying to smoke more than I buy, I bought w-a-y too much!

And he’s married to DP’s daughter…I really think it’s more of Pete staying in touch with his product out of passion. Seems like DPG is happy to be doing whatever TF he’s doing.

From then on, if Palama said something positive about a cigar, that would cause my CAD to act up...couple days ago, he mentioned the offer at the tenski place and I kinda responded with a shrug, claiming I blew though my cigar budget for the year...only liked a couple SD lines...yada...yada...yada.........................................................................order will be delivered next week...sigh

The blend of the “Lancero” was tweaked for the Hawaii market and in my limited time smoking cigars, gotta agree, it was THE BEST JG blend, EVER. Iirc, with the box discount, it was around $8 per.

Speaking of the tenski place, I’mma squeezing okole that I’m home when the mailperson delivers my order. It won’t be no small box!

MUDDERFRANKER! [ram27bat]

E tu Jake?!?! 🗡

We enjoy your corruptive ways, if that helps.

feel better?

Said in my best Busa voice:

U still alive? [gonzo]

I forget, you have the 2013 OR or the 2016 re-release? Both are great smokes.
