Agreed. In fact, think I might pounce on those RBs. I need some longer smokes for the weekend, my collection is very corona and robusto-heavy.

I failed Connections and solved Strands with a few extras last evening. Just never got around to posting my results.

I don't believe I've ever smoked the Bueso Connecticut.

Went outside to take the trash out last night and I almost didn't want to come back in. I should have had a cigar or two, but I didn't. It was so nice out.

It appears we're already at our high temperature for the day.

It was quite nice here as well. I was in the man cave with pants on but almost went back in to change into shorts.

I got some from the sis once that had Exclusivo on the band, then they kinda disappeared. Not sure what the story is there, but interesting to see them show back up again.

Perhaps the story is told on the product page:
NOTE: This cigar was formerly known as Ramon Bueso Exclusivo. It has been renamed and repackaged as Ramon Bueso Genesis Connecticut. The blend has not changed, and we are working through old packaging. You may receive it as either Exclusivo or Genesis Connecticut.
Now I'm curious to find out which one I'll receive.
