My fist one ever......had it in the humi lose to 3 years. Starting out ok, but not sure I get all the love this cigar gets.

very well made, very smooth, after the first 1/2" the bitter finish has gone. Oily nutty smoke. It's getting better.

nice wood, pepper, anise and Novocain.....my mouth feels numb

In the middle third, the LSD kicks in.  Then it gets interesting.

i thought that was on the band

Uh...where did you buy these, again?

I get most of mine from Grateful Dead tribute concerts.   Why, where else do they sell them?

Greatful Dead LSD story. Dropped some liquid before a Dead concert and was tripping balls. I almost got to the edge, but told myself "if you make it past the drum solo, you will be ok". I made it, but not sure I'm ok.

Can I tell my Grateful Dead story?  PS, Oy, I just smoked the Wynwood on a fresh palate (no cigar yesterday).  It was a fine smoke, I enjoyed it with a RB Witbier.  Good pairing.  Very hot & humid here today.

Any Grateful Dead story you can tell with any certainty likely didn't happen.

I went to Rich Stadium in Buffalo to see them. don't know how I got there, what happened, or how I got home. not really sure I even went.

THAT's a Grateful Dead story.

Two relights now on the Exile.  Into the second half.  Maybe the 110RH has something to do with it.  Maybe not. 

And I'm out of fuel in the lighter.  Sheesh.  Have 3 matches left in the pocket.  Maybe it'll be enough, maybe not.

Oh, flavor-wise, not much change.  A bit heavier and toastier as it goes, less sweet, a little stronger with the cinnamon.  Core flavor is more of a dark coffee/roasted nuts with some cedary accents.

Which Wynwood?

From Oy.  Label had a person/woman with a rabbit head on Ike an Indian with a buffalo head on), label was pain spattered ... about a corona gorda.

Had a $7.95 price label.  Will, all kidding aside, I enjoyed your description of the Exile Rosado ... sounds like it had some tasty flavors.  "Paint" ... you had to look close to see that.  Who makes the Wynwood?

Pain spattered?  Sheesh.  Oy putting Pain on his cigars.

Probably was the same one he sent me, the Coneja.  Very nice smoke.  Crazy ridiculous MSRP, but an excellent deal when King was closing them out for $4/ea.

Sly, you need to get the post on the outside of the quote tags.  CB must've slipped that one in there.  I think the full box price was over $200, because they had hand painted boxes and such. 

It is an Eiroa smoke, formerly made in the Wynwood Art Gallery thing in Miami.  They moved production to his new factory in Tampa? I think.    The whole idea was to do factory fresh smokes--so they'd roll them and ship them.  It was aged tobacco, 4 or 5 years old, but supposed to get to you within 2 weeks of being rolled, so you could really experience the whole age range and how it changed the flavor.

Thanks.  Didn't scroll up far enough.

And how big were his date's tits?

Why are KC and Mikey next door? .

Any Grateful Dead story you can tell with any certainty likely didn't happen./// If you insist, this one was quite clear, except for the exact personnel.  Jerry did not join us, but Phil Lesh, Bob Weir & others were there.  I worked in the concert hall at my college where they played.  (because of that I occasionally got invited to after parties.). They had enjoyed playing so much, had a break in the schedule and announced that would be back for the next couple days and would play for free, so they weren't in a hurry to break things down.  I told them that there was a really cool lake behind the hall & would show them the way down there, if they were up for an adventure.  I knew the pathways through the woods, had good night vision (full moon)(hence they named me the Pathfinder).  I led them down the rabbit hole to the lakes edge and we sat down on the sandy edge & hung out. Some natural substances were burned, some conversation ensued.  I pulled out my harmonica and played while the steam rose from moon shiny surface of the lake.  We enjoyed some quiet, taking it all in user the overhanging trees.  Then, I think they realized that they didn't know me from Adam & didn't know the way back. A solitary shaky voice spoke up and said. "Do you think we can go back now?" I think that smoky stuff had worn off.  I walked them back, I think there was a sense of relief.  There it is, no embellishment.

Now that was a great story .

I brought a large watermelon to share at the concert the next day.

Ask them, dd.  Probably quieter & less crowded.

My musicians stories mostly deal with members of heavy metal acts from the 80s. 

A bit of backstory:

Growing up, my friend's father was the sound man for Twisted Sister.  He had a very cool house, lots of Eastern decor and crazy shit, not like everyone else's house.  He also had a sound room with a sound system wired throughout every room (basement and attic, too).  He was a very cool guy to us kids, too.  No prohibitions on cursing, drinking, smoking, etc. 

You'd think that would make his kid have bad behavior or something, but it didn't.  His main rule was don't be an asshole and it worked.  Free to do whatever it was you wanted as long as you weren't an asshole.  We weren't getting hammered there in grade school or anything, but a safe place to drink beer and smoke in high school?  Absolutely. 

Apparently he was a very cool guy with the adults, too, because people would stop in whenever they were in town.  I'd ride my bike over there with a 12 pack in my backpack and Eddie Ojeda and Dee Snider would be hanging out (or whoever it happened to be that day).  Want to stay for steaks with the guitarists for Rob Halford's new band?  We'll just throw another one on. 

Very much every day life with semi-famous people hanging out for a few hours.

Brick House Maduro toro lit next, with a "Dark Seduction" ale.  Good pairing.

I've found this to be the case with most of the artists I've hung with.

Except Lars Ulrich. He's an asshole.

I think they're very good cigars...and I wouldn't pay the price they command.  Which is to say I agree with you, I think.  There are just too many superb cigars I can get for less than an Opus X, and the Opus X just wasn't so magical that I felt the price was justified. 

For that price, a cigar would have to make me consider smoking it instead of having sex with the missus.  Haven't found such a cigar yet.  The Opus X wasn't it.

all my cigars are better than having sex with my wife. she was like a bank, lucky to get quarterly deposits.

and the service charges were outrageous
