They should start falling today.

A note on the CAO Gold Maduro Escaparate.  These are the unbanded ones you will receive.  These are from 2004.  I got a humidor of them from Cigars International last December.  The humidity was at 40%, they had no aroma, and were very crisp and brittle.  The humi packs in the humidor were as hard as rocks.  Who knows how CI had been storing them.  After a month I had them up to 60% and the one I smoked needed to be purged regularly.  I now have them up to 67% and they have continued to improve.   Age them as you see appropriate.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

KA-POW!!  Neil only posted that picture this morning and I've already been hit!  Sneaky bastid' mailed these bombs two days ago! :nono:

No camera availble right now, but in addition to the Anthem, he generously included 2 unmarked sticks of different sizes (both CAO Gold Maduro Escaparates??), a 5-Vegas Cask Strength Toro (a stick that I haven't tried yet . . can't wait) and a MoW Special Edition Figurado (love Salomon cigars!)

Very, very generous, Neil!   Thank you!  :thumbsup:

Great pass.  I got mine last week and thought I posted about it but I guess I didn't.  Thanks again Neil for doing this and the bomb at the end was awesome.  Hope you enjoy the cigars you got back.

I smoked my Anthem today in honor of our nation's birthday.    It was the best America I've had.  Some minor burn issues (had to correct a couple of times), but a smooth an tasty smoke which lasted about two hours.   Thanks Neil for sharing this great smoke with us!

:word: I had mine while the fireworks went off - and for some time after they finished too! :-)  What a great smoke. Thanks Neil!!!
