I ended up picking up a couple of these after all. I just had to try em. I'll let you have the honor of posting the first pics. I'll probably wait till tonight or at least until after I take a nap (just got in from snowshoeing) to lite one up. They look and smell great. :thumbsup:
Can't wait to hear :)

Are the labels white?

:headroll:

Had a little too much fun opening this bundle:





Gotta say, very, very cool. A pretty strong scent of light chocolate emanates from the cigar. Can't wait to smoke one.

No No No...I can give a general first impression maybe sometime around 8:00PM Eastern Time tonight. I don't believe I could do a cigar justice based on just one stick. I'll leave the reviews to the connoisseurs on the board. :thumbsup:

You light one up tonight Klipsch? I didn't have time today...I will tomorrow, though. Hopefully after lunch.

I lit one up last night. Taste like Viaje. I do have to agree with a comment that my buddy made though, about the cigar tasting grassy out of the gate. Not that "fresh" taste that I get out of the Platino when I light one. Just "grassy"...like fresh cut lawn. There was really nothing else that stood out about the cigar, other than it being another good Viaje. But that's only my very first impression. Again...I leave the reviews to the connoisseurs.

Lit one up...about 1/2 way in on this & thinking they need some rest. Have notes, but I want to revisit them in 2-4 weeks. Right now, very, very bitter cocoa dominates. Really muted and muddled otherwise.

I was lucky enough to get a few from a great botl. This cigar was fantastic. I enjoyed it even more than the regular Summerfest. I really like the Corona Gorda size. Sounds like a couple of you're smokes may be affected by shipping. Give them a few days. Cheers

Glad to hear some positive thoughts on these. Was starting t wonder if these were a hold rather than a buy. I love the size and the closed foot look.

It's really too soon to judge. I don't like smoking things ROTT. I really prefer to rest them a month, but couldn't resist lighting one. I'll smoke another in a few weeks & hopefully the flavors will emerge more. It seemed to have the profile of a cigar in need of some rest. Glad to hear others are having a better experience. I'd really like to hear more comments on the specific flavors everyone is detecting.

It's rare to get a stick that is great rott. It's great to at least sense potential when a stick may be a bit sick though. Hopefully these will develop nicely.

I've gotta say the Barclay Rex was fantastic ROTT. Can't believe I traded so many away!

Haha. Ya I wish I had more of them left than I do too! The pork tenderloin was excellent rott too. I remember cracking my bundle open minutes adter ups came and puffing away in shear bliss! That's part of the fun and risk with LE releases though. Not knowing and hoping that the cigar is good. You have to have almost blind faith and some luck.

No doubt About that! Calculate the perceived risk & reward of buying it. With these white labels, I figured I love the Summerfest, good chance I'll like these. So why not...
