So Mr. Mayor....you decide on rum or tequila for the evening?  I brought both so you don't have to decide now.  At least if I don't get too thirsty during lunch....tempting today.

I'm bringing a bottle of tequila.  Excited about it too.

You guys trying to make each others clothes fall off?

My buddy, Bill Cosby, told me that tequila is the next best thing after Spanish Fly for getting it done.

Morning, all.

Yes you do!
Good mornin Joe

Morning, Shaun.  Had an EPC New Wave Reserva last night, definitely gets two thumbs up from me.  Loved it.  Obviously reminded me of the Short Run 2012 but it was heavier on the pepper.  Much richer, too.  And still mild strength, which was nice.  I know Dave had one yesterday, too, perhaps he can chime in.

That pretty much captures what I thought.  What stood out to me was the greater amount of pepper/spice (but never overwhelming) rich nuts and creaminess.  Solid oak/cedar foundation.

Thanks for the reviews guys - I need to get 5-10 of each it sounds like

Get a box....$122 for 24 toro with VIP.

You enablin?  Anyone wanna do a split?

Ha, I just split a box of the robustos with Dan.  But I'd consider another half box.  They were that good.  Really only interested in the robusto, though.

I still need to get some La Historias too...FML!

Yes you do!
