http://www.cigarsinternational.com/mobile/specials/weekend-spotlight/ might jump on this but been a while since I've had.....Thoughts?
I've been very pleased with the HC's I've had.  Solid smoke, good construction, pleasant if generic flavors.
Afternoon BOTLs, Rick ... I've enjoyed the HCs, the Habanos in particular. Coming in the box rather than bundle seems better in my experience, but maybe it's the appearance.  Haven't had the squared versions.

I got a 12 pack sampler of Unusual shapes of Diesel Unlimited (from the sister, Andy, for $44.95) and am enjoying working my way through.  Comes in Maduro and Natural ... would have liked to have gotten one of each, but money's tight until I fully absorb the hit from a transmission repair job.
An area B&M is hosting a Crowned Heads event this evening.  A buddy had asked me to join him last Saturday to watch a ball game, smoke & drink my growler of Mad Fox Molotov Hoptail (9.3%). I knew it would probably be $10 minimum for my cigar, I jumped on the ticket deal ... buy it in advance and get one cigar right away and two at the event.  The freebie was a Le Careme small robusto.  It was very enjoyable and lasted until closing time.  I was just looking over the list of Crowned Heads brands and am now looking forward to this event I hope they offer a wide variety to pick from.  I have had the 4 Kicks, but not many of the others.  I've heard the La Imperiosa is really good.  If I have my choice which should be my top 2?

Florals, bread, white pepper, haven't had a La Bohem in some time but now I recall why I got a bunch
Good deal, usually you forget why you like something just after you stock up.

Good event to go to.  I liked the La Carema a lot.  La Imperiosa fine as well and was very pleased with the milder Luminosa.  Disappointed with the La s Mareas.

Are they even allowed to sell them anymore?  Won't it corrupt some young mind?
