Thank you Nathan! Once again I am looking for volunteers to undertake this arduous task of smoking and reviewing a cigar.

 The chosen cigar for this critique will be the  Don Abram Harris Presidential Reserve Churchill 

 Akira (Mike) has graciously volunteered already so, four more people are required for this first Critique of the year! I would love to be able to send these out by Monday since, the due date will be December 25th to have the reviews posted, and mail may slow down a bit with the upcoming holidays. These cigars have been in my Humidor for over one year now.....

 As always, please read the Critique Guidelines and familiarize yourself with the critique format if you haven't done one before....

Is Don a member on here?  I'm not familiar with his line of cigars, and his website is Don Abram Harris but everything on the website is Abram J. Harris.  Just trying to learn more about him.  Thanks all.

Mine arrived today with some hitchhikers.  Thanks for including me on this one.  I'll try to post a pic when I get home.

Thanks!

If you were lucky enough to receive the cigar that looks like a dog turd, it is a Puerto Rican Puro made by local tobacco farmers in the hills of PR. It is actually a pretty decent mild-medium smoke........... I go through about 15-25 each time I go down there on vacation and I always send a couple extra bundles home for gifts and bums.

I figured since I screwed you out of the last review I could at least let you enjoy the cigar anyway!  Thanks for helping out with this review!
