He replaced my confiscated order without problem. This was my only order from him. So you're saying he drop ships everything?

I would describe them as medium to full with some cream, cinnamon and spice. I bought a 10 pack initially and then ordered a 25 and more recently put in an order for the robustos.

Take this to PM please.
I don't see why this would need to be private. If someone is giving their review of one they smoked, clearly they or someone they know had them delivered. If someone doesn't want to answer my question in public, they don't have to. I don't mean any disrespect; just not seeing the reasoning here, sir.

How did yours arrive?
In a package. :cbig:

Smoking the first robusto now ROTT. Really a completely different flavor profile than the Laguito No. 5s. More creamy and less complex. No spice or cinnamon. These are also clearly a bit younger than the No. 5s I had as there is quite a bit of ammonia. They need to be rested a few months and then revisited.

The original bespoke - Laguito No. 5 is better than the robustos. But I'll try the PCs tomorrow and report back. BTW, the Robustos and the No. 5s have the same wrapper while the wrapper on the PCs is clearly different.

Let's not discuss how to illegally import Cuban cigars on a public forum....

Sorry, my intent wasn't to specifically inquire about methods of acquiring illegal goods. It was more of a question about how ** conducts their business, ie. who ships their products. Seems like a fair question for someone who has never done business with them nor plans to at any future juncture, since said activity is illegal. It's more a matter of curiosity. Giving details about an illegal product in your possession implicitly implies some sort of illegal acquisition, does it not? So in a sense, we really shouldn't discuss them at all to be on the safe side. That being said, can we please just drop this and stay on topic? My apologies.

OK, just smoked one of the bespoke PCs. Again, these are ROTT as I just got them yesterday. First thing I noticed was that they are soft and somewhat underfilled. But not terribly so. From the very first draw I could tell that these are STRONG. An immediate blast of spice and nic right after that. These are not for the faint of heart at all. If this had been a larger cigar, it would have kicked my ass. They produce ample, chewy smoke and the draw is very easy. So much so that I smoked right through it in like 20 mins (but I'm a fast smoker to begin with). The cigar did not change much throughout. Lots of spice, lots of nic and some faint cream and cocoa towards the middle. If you're looking for a quick strong smoke, these definitely fit the description. I suspect that these will age well and I'll come back an revisit them in a few months to see how they develop.
