What else have you been smokin' Troy?
What else have you been smokin' Bob?
La Traviata Divino - Around $5. After Dale's comments last week concerning this cigar, I had to try a couple to see if I agreed. Well, I don't see the same excitement in the cigar that he did. I still found it to be boring and easy to put down. Not that it had any disagreeable characterstics just that it had no character.
Jaime Garcia JG Reserva Especial Robusto - All character, all the time.
La Aroma de Cuba (new blend)
What's My Band? - #915 from Liz: New Quorum Toro NT (Nicaragua)
Every week Bob and Dale include an “unbanded cigar” segment in which they smoke a cigar without any markings and give their honest opinions. Bob then opens a sealed envelope and discovers the cigar’s name and manufacturer. If you have suggestions for the "What's My Band?" segment, please send them to liz@cigarmedia.tv.
