What the??? I read that Coach had sent a package out to some unsuspecting victim, never in my wildest dreams thinking it was me, and lo and behold I pick up a huge package today full of stuff! The man's sick for sure. All kinds of tasty looking sauces, marinades and spices for grilling, etc., AND a couple of fine-looking Perdomo Vintage '96 Cabinet maduro torps AND a FULL BOX of the very cigar I've been licking my chops over to sample - El Rico Habanos!! Now how in the world do I respond to this? Do I seek help in getting him committed to a mental ward, or do I attempt to somehow retaliate? THANK YOU RANDY.

WOW!

The guy is obviously a VERY generous soul! I wish we would get guys like that working as CEOs in our major corperations! ;o)

Yeah, I recieved a smaller version of that particular bomb. It was pretty cool. Just remember, Coach is evil.

El Coacho es muy loco en la cabeza. Cl, B 4 burning one of those El Rico's,be sure 2 be sitting down W/ a stiff drink.Be sure 2 Post how U felt afterward. X

Thanks for the warning, X.

CL maybe you should sent him your collection of cigars,than however you can acspect to get a dozen steaks or maybe a whole Buffalo to go with the sauces!

Talkin' about those El Ricos, I picked a couple up about 10 days ago, and lit one while at the counter in the store ... sat around in one of the club chairs and shootin' the breeze with a couple of the other regulars there and gottat tell you, I just LOVED that cigar ... clearly on the full-bodied side, but then, I LIKES 'em that way ... a full box of those landing on a guy out of the blue that way could make him think that perhaps he'd died and gone to heaven ...

CL,Just a side note,I've won a few 5packs,and I've found that they vary in intensity. Some are very rich and not quite so srong and some,like the one I had last night will just leave U a blithering idiot. I also just recently won a box of these babies. I think I'm gonna age these awhile. X

A whole buffalo, eh? I'd probably have to use Mean's pit to grill something THAT big. El Rico and I are stepping in the ring tonight. If I don't check in tomorrow, someone please dial 911.

I need to post a pic of that bad boy don't I.

Yes you do !

YES, Steve, I believe I've died and gone to heaven. After hearing what X had to say, I was a bit cautious of this El Rico. But, being the manly man that I am (actually, I just didn't want to go to work just yet!), I fearlessly sparked one up this morning (too pooped to puff last night) and poured some fresh joe. This cigar is great in all aspects. Even though I don't take much stock in construction and burn, the construction is flawless, rock solid and smooth, and this thing burned perfectly; I didn't tap the ash until half-way through. Yes, the cigar has some kick, but not like some I've had that were only strong and nothing more. The flavor was IMHO just incredible. I say getcha some.

WAIT, I must have been hallucinating; disregard previous paragraph. El Ricos suck.

regarding your "strong and nothing more" comment, I've always thought there was a HUGE distinction between "full-bodied", "strong" and "harsh" ... many light- and medium-bodied cigars can be, IMNSHO, just as harsh as some of the more full-bodied ...

I don't care much for either weak OR harsh cigars, but love those that are rich and full-bodied

Like I said CL,some are rich full flavored and some will leave U babbling. Me thinks U got one of the rich ones. I'll stay tuned to see if U get one of the others. X

just a simple way to kick your Texas A$$. We've been talking bout those ElRicos and the "old blend" is even more intense. Thank you Ernesto(LGC) for bringing these babies back into production. As for Meany,his A$$ got KICKED but just not as hard,you know those "City Folk"...
Randy

I'm gonna have to put some El Rico Habannas on my TO GET list. Sounds like my kind of cigar!
