A question for my friends in the GWN

I received a couple Don Rivera cigars a week or so ago and am just firing one up. From my understanding they are distributed mainly in Canada. Wondering if any of our Geeks up north have tried them and what their thoughts are.

Don't know anything about these. A quick search brings back that they are in fact based in the US, in Florida specifically:

Don Rivera
20533 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite N-144
Aventura, FL 33180

They are available in some B&Ms in Ontario but can't seem to find them online anywhere, here or in the US.

Did you enjoy the one you just smoked, how was it?

sorry never had one or even seen one. I'll see if I can pop into a B&M and look for you. Was it good?

Correct, a friend of mine in Florida says that they are mainly exported to Canada.
And NO, I did not enjoy it at all truthfully. Gonna give the other one some more rest before I smoke it. I don't want to judge too much on only one try.

Interesting that the band is a very Partagas Serie (ISOM) look-a-like
