Hey Pete, does this mean that both the jar and tubo blacks are being released this year?

Andagain, thanks for the update brother!!

I concur 100% - your review is spot on with what I experienced.
The black torp needs a little more time but it has the makings of becoming an incredibly good cigar too, but the Drac is good to go right now!

between the new black and the drac.
at this point i am giving the nod to the drac. a little richer blend and wrapper. the increased rg of the black really brings out the broadleaf wrapper to almost a maduro flavor in the beginning. regular black lovers will still like it, i'm sure.
just my two cents if given the choice between a box of the two. :applause:

 

[hdroadglide]

no, no, no gus. you misread. i said the drac is very average and no one should waste their money on it!!!!:squinteye

Quick Note, Bob, the Black uses a Sun Grown Criollo wrapper from Esteli. It looks like Broadleaf cause of the marbled look it has but it is not. We select an ugly toothy tasty wrapper mainly for flavor and aging potential.

Black Jar will not be released this year, I was only stating the original production.

Hope this clears things up.

Pete

nice bob! real nice try there bro!

 

[hdroadglide]

that would explain why it didn't have that same "sweet' flavor i got from the o.r.'s.
thanks pete.

 

[smokemifugotem]

thanks pete.

Bob the original had the same wrapper. I have never used Broadleaf on the Black. It has always been a binder grade sun grown criollo from Esteli.
