Cigars have arrived and I will give this a couple weeks before randomly choosing reviewers.
Christian (owner of RCC) is a great guy who makes some really good cigars at an affordable price, so I really hope whomever shows interest in this critique will give the review the attention it deserves( in other words not just sign up for a free smoke). Post in this thread if you are interested and reviewers will be chosen before the end of September.
:goodluck:

Just read about these....looks to be something up my alley esp. if it has the Brazilian Wrapper but would be game for any of them.

I've been wanting to try these ever since you started talking about him. However, I've got too much going on right now to commit. With that in mind, if you find that you are having trouble finding your 5th reviewer, then I'll be your huckleberry! :biggrin:
