Location: RANCHO MURIETA, CA		If you are a fan of full bodied smokes; Illusione, DPG, LG and such, this is a must try cigar. See my review. CI has these for $60 for 26 smokes and a better deal I have yet to find. You can probably score a fiver on the devil site. This is a fantastic smoke IMHO.

Location: Anaheim Hills, California		The question Nick is do you have room for 13 more cigars. If so, a split could be in order.

To be honest, I was completely underwhelmed by this cigar. The AAA and the Diesel (both PA Broadleaft) are better IMO.

Different strokes...

Location: Quad Cities ILL.		I'm in a box of robusto size on the devilsite. I would be interested in splitting the box if I win. Anyone interested??

Location: Gilbert, AZ		I had one of these a while ago and liked it a lot. According to my notes I rated it a 9 of 10, and 8 of 10 for value because it cost me $6. At the price you found, this would be a 10/10 on my value scale (quality/taste vs. cost). I'm already over on capacity and budget with my most recent purchase so these will have to wait. Unless someone feels like doing some trading.

My rating details:
Overall: 9/10
Smoke: 4/5
Burn quality: 9/10
Strength: Medium-strong
Flavor: Rich
Draw: Medium
Smoked to length: Hot fingers

Location: Gilbert, AZ		As I've learned from others here, sometimes it's just different tastes, sometimes it's one particular cigar, and sometimes it's relative to aging. So I always go for two before I write one off, unless it's a total dog rocket the first time.

I'm leaning towards different tastes. Many people here on CG really like the original release LHC, but after smoking a few, I decided I was not a fan. Probably the same case here

You must have got your triger fixed or a weak moment

Location: Up in th' holler yonder, nigh on to pappy's still		I've smoked a few of the ten I picked up a couple of months ago. Really decent smoke for the first half and then they seem to turn ordinary. I like the Triple-A's and Diesels quite a bit better.
