Yep, they're that green. It's not the lighting. And truthfully, this is about lifesize for the ones I had.

They burn slow, though, if they've been kept well.

You fuckin tease...;) haha.

Yep and on The Wife's list too. For the record I bought the sample pack they are holding. Wish I could sample the ladies...so said The Wife. ;)

I got the sample pack for $60.00. $6.00 a stick. They are going to break them up and sell them for $7.50 a stick afterward. Decent deal. Rather have a BJ/HJ with that. I guess that's what The Wife's for.

I knew what you meant. I just didn't notice it until you brought it up, and now, I can't see anything but that.

Having an Invictis from Vicarias. Never heard if it? That's because it's a prototype cigar from a company that hasn't had it's first release yet.

Tonights feature cigar is the Torano Salute. The person that designed that cigar for Torano is here tonight. I believe he's from Cincinnati.

EDIT : Well I just found out he was born in Chicago, but raised in this area so he calls it home.

Hanging with Mike Giannini from Foundry Cigars tonight at the tasting. Great sticks and he's into Steam Punk stuff. He designed a very cool travel humidor that only opens with one of the tools that comes on his cigar.

Having a Nica Rustica tonight. Not even a third of the way through it and I'm loving it.

They are featuring My Father cigars tonight. Hope I win some of them in the raffle.

Manchester rd The Pipe rack. Just down the road from the akron Baptist temple. I would recommend Punch cigars as a solid brand for a reasonable price

Having a Macanudo Vintage Maduro 1997.

This thing is insanely dark, and the burly draw is complemented by a very smooth and thick smoke. VERY good stick.

That is correct. Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle!

I have not smoked a lot of cigars but have found that Punch cigars are very good.
