The Hype:
The Fool's Errand Stubborn Fool may appear to be fun and games, but this full-bodied joker ain't nothing to laugh about! This limited-edition, medium-full bodied perfecto is the first installment of the Fool's Errand, which is a collaboration between Justin Andrews of Scandinavian Tobacco Group and master cigar crafter AJ Fernandez. The cigars are handmade at the Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars factory in Nicaragua. It offers excellent construction and comes only in the perfecto size which has nipple at the foot. On the inside, this cigar has a combination of Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers, bound with Honduran leaf and then finished off in a dark oily Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, this premium handmade is ready to entertain your taste buds.

    By all means Byron. Welcome to the October critique.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I told Neal I won't let it go un-filled, but I think I've done 3 this year & supposed to do Byron"s next month, so I was kinda holding out. I'd like to see some more geeks step up as well. I don't understand how we can't fill these :?:

Be great to see some of the new geeks want to get involved! :smoker:

You got it.  One more volunteer needed, but you can start shipping the others now if you want to get this rolling.

    Well glad everyone has gotten them. Just waiting on Stephen to get his and it's getting close according to the tracking. Hopefully it will be in his possession in the next couple of days.
