Does it taste like a UC or is it different?Was able to get one last night at the event. Great smoke!
Ok, that's interestingIt is different. According to JD, it is a Liga filler with a Willy Herrera wrapper. That being said, I'm not sure why they put an undercrown band on it. I should have asked him, but didn't think about it until after I talked to him.
Joe45 tried it, not I sir@ChefBoyRG54 , Looks awesome. Glad you got to try one. How long was the smoke?
Honesty, at the event I wasn't really keeping track of the time. Probably 2 1/2 - 3 hrs.Joe45 tried it, not I sir@ChefBoyRG54 , Looks awesome. Glad you got to try one. How long was the smoke?
Thanks for all the information.Hey guys,
I brought the original mold to JD as a gift when I went on safari. It's an antique german mold and the original size was 13.5x38. Literally a double lancero. He obviously liked it and he blended it up right away and we had the biggest safari up to that time, 20 people, and we all received one. He made up another batch at 13" and sent me 10 for my anniversary and passed along some to the DE crew, many were smoked at IPCPR. They even went outside to hide them. They went through a few versions and they settled on a size of 11x40 and made up new molds for the Manifesto. It is a liga blend with a Habano wrapper used in the Herrera Esteli. I'm a bit biased since the pre-release was named after me but it is a damn good stick! It is not like the UC and I don't knwo why they used that name but if you can get one, enjoy it! They age well but I prefer them fresh. I think they are 2x as good fresh as they are with a year on them. I did not use this for my safari blend, I did the DE A size for my blend and basically made a T52 A. Its one of the best sticks I have ever had.

Sounds good man. It'd make a hell of an addition to the lance February line up.The fresh rolled was so smooth and the complexity I am familiar with was faded but flavors I was not expecting came through clearly, including a light but sweet melon like burst in the first couple inches. It was a completely different cigar! If I could have a hand rolled any time I wanted, I would have one EVERY morning for breakfast!
