just finished a quesada octoberfest, last years release...
man i was expecting something great from all the praise it gets in reviews...
completely unimpressed, was bland like a 2$ JR or CI house brand to my palate...
shitty burn too, regardless of the 10 months it's been in a 62% humi...
was acting like one of those 'flame resistant wrappers' until it got into the second half..
oh well.... they can't all be good...

everyone seemed to get lost in the pudgies, and forgot about the lance collection. myself included, forgot i hadn't worked through my first box yet! cabbie lance while arranging the need cave:



this is SUCH a pretty blend, and a must include if you want to apply "cubanesque" to a NC.

Had my first dirty rat last night. It was a cold, drizzly night and the cigar suffered for it. Just didn't get much out of it (certainly no more than a standard T-52 or LP9).

Oh well, I've got a few left so I'll just have to give it another try.
