Again, I'd like to thank both of you for letting me participate in the Cyber Herf, and since my turn is next, I'll be sending out the Comacho Triple Maduros on Monday. Man do these things look awesome.

Bob - that is interesting that yours was a little more one-dimensional. It seems like we were all surprised by the sweetness.

Sorry to hear about the glue as well. I checked the wrappers pretty thoroughly for visible cracks or flaws, some how I missed the glue. Was is visible through the cellophane?

As I mentioned, I really wanted to get the Camacho Triple Maduros, but couldn't find them locally. So I would love to give those a try.

We could smoke an East Coast Tat as well, but you don't need to send me any of these thanks to Holts.

Aaron, I would like to host one of your cyber herfs, just say when. I don't wanna be a burden on you guys, so I'll just make a single guest appearance and supply the 'gars if that's ok.

and just as Ray said, I would also like to host one and supply the cigars to be reviewed if you guys would have me.

Burden? You wouldn't be a burden my friend.

I can't think of two finer gorillas to cyber herf with. If you guys want to be special guests for a cyber herf, that is definitely fine with me.

I just had a GOF Don Carlos Robusto last night, and it surprised me. I was expecting to be underwhelmed, like I usually am with the super premium NC's. This was a pretty good cigar though, good to the nub. At $10-12 I'd buy a crapload of these, but at $25 bucks or more per smoke it's a little pricey for me.

Having one of these right now thanks to a bomb by catfish last summer. Overall I am agreeing with m#2 and hog. Mine started unimressive for the first inch. Just tobacco and nothing else. I would say at first it tasted like a regular production fuente. After that it has really picked up.

Right now at about 1/2 inch until the first band the sweetness is there more than ever but so is a decent amount of spice. This is becoming very complex. So far is it worth $20+? Not a chance but I'd buy this at $10-15 for sure. The first inch I would have maybe paid $5 or $6. To be continued.

Finished the cigar just a bit ago. My experience pretty much mirrored the reviews here. After I posted earlier the spice really picked up and nose smoking it was a bit painful while it was smooth through the nose to that point. I didn't get a lot of different flavors other than a mix of tobacco, sweetness and spice, but I could definitely taste the black cherry at one point that icehog mentioned.

The spice and sweet were definitely more prominent at different times throughout the smoke with neither ever completely going away.

This my friends was one heckuva good smoke but I still don't think I'd pay $25 for one. Not too many smokes I would pay that much for.

Thanks again to catfish for sending me this.
