Lance's box arrived early last week, but life has been keeping me busy.
Here is the list of contents, first the smokes...
3 beautiful looking toros with custom Patriots logo bands, all marked on left side of the Flying Elvis "CigarBid Blind Tasting"...and to the right side of Pat's logo "Spring 2021"....awesome bands, one Red, one Pewter/White, and one Dark Blue.
Hitchhikers included...
La Aurora Belicoso had before and smoked this right away
Cuban Aristocrat nh
Oliva Ct. Reserve had and really enjoy these
La Palina Paley's Vault in glass tubo nh
Ave Maria Immaculata perfecto(maybe?)nh, but have a couple in waiting
Black Market Filthy Hooligan had...actually my local just got these in a week or so ago, and I've had 3 or 4 recently(love these)
Perdomo Slow Aged 826 had several (one of my first purchase on cbid)
Now the swag...
A big bag of homemade? jerky...really delicious, and about gone...nom nom nom
A nice little Packet of the Patriot's logo bands, in the above mentioned colors, marked "Rick Amann Personal Collection"(really cool and distinctive, and much appreciated)
A "Humidor Notes" pocket notebook, with spaces for recording notes on cigars smoked...pretty cool,I've never seen one like this...blank spots for brand, country,date purchased, price,food and drink accompaniment,weather....and several more also includes glue dots for affixing band into notebook.
and last but not least, a sealed envelope marked "open after smoking blinds"
That covers it, and Thank you very much Lance...
I have already smoked The La Aurora and enjoyed it...
I have also dipped into the Blinds, and started with the Red banded Beauty...I have no idea what it was ,other than FANTASTIC!!!...I will smoke the others in the near future...I'll fire up the White/Pewter band Monday night, after work.
I'm fairly confident the red band will be hard to beat, but I'm gonna keep an open mind until I burn through them all, and then I'll post my reviews and guesses once all the evidence has been smoked.
Also enjoying reading all the reviews from everyone...great job guys...flashed back to an old Windowpane I had reading your reviews opel... very interesting
