Fredbob, how was the CRV you had earlier?  I just saw you mentioned it next door. 


Hope it turned out well.  When I first got mine, I smoked them OTT and found that while the smoke was still very good, it was much better after the usual shipping adjustment period.  Maybe not for the whole smoke, but the beginning was smoother and the nub didn't get as crazy hot as fast.

Good afternoon
Nice haul, Dave!
they look nice FB, I'll need your address oh and you name again ;)
Do you want some more RM 101 Papi Chulos and Ortega D's?
quote]101 were nice, the TTT is very young, having one OTT. Oct 2013, most say this cigar does best with 4-5 years on it. It's well made, nice wrapper and decent draw. It tastes green, yet not very bitter. Just about 1/2" in and I can tell it's trying to show it's true colors, I think this kids got talent. Finish is dry and clean and it's retrohailable even for me.
Sorry, but no cigar is right if you have to wait a couple of years for it to be smokable..
its smokable Dave, as good as most of the cigars I get.
 Over an hour and just got to the band, and finally got some identifiable flavors of baking spice. No relights and a nice even burn. The cigar shows prommis, but not worth smoking anymore at this point, I'll give them a little humi time.

draw was tight through out and couldn't finish the last 1/3. I like the robusto much more, not a big fan of Churchill size cigars. Cigar Place's inventory is safe from me.

Probably over RH for the draw.  Some downtime will clear that up.  The 2 boxes I've been through of the CRVs has basically been perfect.  A few rolled a little too full, so the slight swelling as it burns would crack the wrapper a little (but not the binder), but they always burned right through that stuff with no issues whatsoever. 

And yeah, the DC is a real time commitment.
