By the way
The title is misleading.
Definitely not a "small" box pass.
That's a lot of smokes

It’s franking crazy what some places are asking for the Pinks. Simply put, they’re ripping people off. I understand they need to make money but not by exorbitantly overcharging. Iirc, saw $65 for the Signature, $80 for the Happy Ending and, I think, $30 for the Short Story at some retailer that I’ll never do business with. Not talking

OK, need some help!

As one of my takes i grabbed an un banded Robusto - appearance wide it is a light wrapper (maybe conn but i dont think so) the foot appears to be a 2 inch band of Maduro Wrapper and at the normal band spot is a strip of Candela with a strip of Maduro as a center line making a tard band of wrapper leaf...

Who had it as a put and what is it PLEASE?

it reminds me of some i have seen from cigarluxury d com but i dont see an exact match

i am really enjoying it as i type this and would love to know more about it.

some of the notes so far

It has a snug draw but hopefully that opens up - very minor barnyard/manusre smell pre lite

flavors are pretty mild so far in the first third but a little natural sweet and cream with just a hint of cookie that goes well with coffee no pepper or zing at all so far

So palama asked me about it so it had to be me, unfortunately i dont remember putting it in there. I checked my purchases that I can find in my email and don't see it in any of them. I don't remember even having that cigar. The only thing I can possibly think of is if it came in a mystery pack I ordered a while ago. But like I said I don't remember seeing it. Palama sent me a pic of it so I know exactly what your talking about. The only thing I can think of is possibly a BRIARVILLE cigar however I don't see that style anymore. I'm wondering if someone sent it to me at some point but again I don't remember seeing it until I got the pic.

That was me. I saw rfenst housekeeping suggestions (post 76) where Palama sent him one, he passed one along. Jake sent me one. It seemed right

Glad you enjoyed it. That was one of the original releases I had left from when CF said they were running out forever, so I panicked. They lied btw

Interestingly enough, just got an email announcing a Stolen Throne smoker on the 22nd with the owner, Lee Marsh, in attendance. Gonna have an R. Field exclusive called “Kiawe” on sale that night. Toro size with MSA wrapper. Probably won’t be going, will wait for the Tatuaje and Fuente events instead.
