Z and DP up to no good.............that's OK..........I have a long memory for these of acts of "violence".
From dpnewell: Horst, I enclosed a letter, but it must have been discarded. The main reason I sent you this package, is because I read in several threads that you enjoyed the UC Shade. The 4 unbanded cigars are UC Shade 2nds. I picked up several bundles for cheap (you know that's the only way I roll, LOL), and have smoked through a dozen or so. Except for the occasional slight wrapper defect, or discoloration, I have a hard time figuring out why these are 2nds. Many look perfect to me. All have smoked great, and taste like the 1sts.
The 2 dark DE cigars are micro blends, called Drew Estate Factory Bundles. From what I can tell, DE rolled 12 micro blends of only a few bundles each, and offered them as an exclusive to one e-tailer. I guess it was a way to use up odd lots of tobacco. The #2 uses a Connecticut Habano wrapper. To me, it has Liga/Nica Rustica notes, and is my favorite. The #1 uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, but really doesn't remind me of any current DE cigar.
Oh, and by the way, the Fuente is a Don Carlos.
I'd love to come back to Cbid, but unless Trish has a change of heart, forgives my previous stupidity and arrogance, and reopens my account, I'll continue to be on the outside looking in.
Enjoy the smokes, my brother.
