| Just followed the link to their website. All 3 of the blends sound very good, especially the San Andreas. |

| CG reviewers, Jay mailed out the cigars yesterday, so you should see these in the next few days. The review stick is the Acme Route 66 Hot Rod, and its a 5 x 50 robusto. Rumor has it that there may be a few more sticks in the package, but that remains to be seen...  |

I haven't tried one yet, hope to real soon.  pretty sharp sending extras. many times the only stick you get has construction issues etc. and you are forced to review a dud. i hate to judge a smoke on one example anyway. thx again. i will get on these later this week. it will be a few more days before i can enjoy any leaf.

For a second I was baffled about my review being in the regular section. Drunk reviewing? Then I noticed I'm not the only Camshaft on here anymore. Watch out. We are multiplying.  |
