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... :biggrin:

Quotenirab - 9/14/2015  9:50 AM  OK, so everyone has received their review sticks, along with a couple of extras. I am looking forward to the feedback on these. I haven't tried one yet, hope to real soon.  :biggrin:

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.
