Well, clearly this means that you are nice, not naughty. So I should take it as read that you're going to post a detailed review, right?

How does it compare to the Artisanos de Miami, which if I'm not mistaken was his last blend at LGC?  I love that cigar.  If they are anything close I would have to be a buyer.

It's not a robusto; it's toroish.

Ok, and make no mistake, not trying to spread hate and discontent, but manufacturers continually releasing smokes for 13.00 a pop makes me 

:-)
As always, SWYL and LWYS.

They are 5-3/8 X 52 and while "mimimal toro" they are toros not Robustos.  Size rarely makes much difference in the $ of a particular stick unless it is an unusual size/shape maybe.

I have smoked three so far.  One was a sample from the IPCPR, and two in the last couple days.  Sad to say I was dissapointed.  A medium flavored, meduim bodied smoke.  Not very complex, was a little bitter at the half way point.  I was expecting more from Ernie on this cigar.  His last creation before he left General Cigar the Artesanos De Miami was the bomb.
