Battling a cold. This'll do. So good when you haven't had one in the longest time.

I had the second extra one of these I made last night... It's really, really good!
Hoosier:
Glad to hear things were to your liking. The construction is outstanding and Lanceros are tough buggers to get right. Thanks for the opportunity to choose some leaves to throw together. We need to talk about how I am going to get some more from you. Thanks again brother.
I'm gonna roll two to three dozen of these over the next few days. Wanna do a box or half-box trade? I can get you a short list of "comparably priced" cigars I like to smoke. I'll then contact you when I'm ready to ship.
And this also works for anyone else who wants more of their "private stock/blend" sent to them. Thanks!
I would like a box if you don't mind rolling that many. Just send me a list and I will get to looking.

Not a problem at all. I'll PM you a list of one for one cigars (going with pricing at cigarsinternational.com) and those where two of mine equal one of the production cigars. Thanks!

Stay smokey, my friends.

Kip gave me this as a "get the heck out of my house" inducement last month. A friend of mine, actually, had bought several boxes of these that were fakes many years ago that were actually pretty decent. This one, after an inauspicious start, got progressively better and by the midpoint was and then remained an outstanding cigar!

Thought tonight might be a three-fer, but only had two. Both the Brazilian and Gringo were decent, with the Gringo being much better than I had anticipated (I thought the Cameroon binder was the weak link, but nope!), perhaps the second best of the five "private blends" you guys put together. Overall, a really fine collection of cigars you came up with!

Cameroon binder? I thought it was a Sumatra binder? Either way I leave it to the master. Glad you liked it and I am hoping my cold has finished clearing up by Wednesday to light one myself. Gotta take advantage of 60 degree days in feb

Sorry, DC. Sumatra. You are correct. Only a typo, esp as I don't have any Cameroon binder!

My favorite Gurkha. Dark notes, espresso notes, cedar and little pepper. Very good.
