Sorry Enrique, you do not have access yet. After some time here another world will open to you brother.
Besides with all the great grabs you have been making lately, you don't need anymore

No matter how many boxes of Ligas anyone has, it's NEVER enough... Especially when you're talking about the FFB's...
Hell, no matter how many boxes of CIGARS you have, it's never ever enough...

Ouch, I don't think I would pay $20 a stick for them. They are great at $15!

For sure! I like to let mine rest around 2-3 weeks after I receive something in the mail; however, most of my sticks have to wait around 6 months to be smoked!

I picked mine up locally and smoked one with a week rest with no problems, in fact it was amazingly delicious.

I try to wait a month, since it is so dry and cold in Colorado

Please email him this photo and let him know your ship to address.

Hey Jonathan,
I don't want to stir up anything nor do I mean any harm by this. I emailed John Brooke a few weeks back but I haven't seen a replacement yet. I tried to smoked the crack FFP, but the draw was horrible (even with pectin repair). Too much air was being drawn in from the cracked area, plus the cap completely unraveled after 15 mins. My b&m got a batch recently, but their "VIP" members snatched them up in a few hours.... I really really want to try this stick! This is my unicorn I guess!
Hope you guys are having fun on the Safari.
Best,
Zach

I smoked my first today and it couldn't have started out much worse. The cap tried to unravel but a little saliva held it in place. It seemed a little too wet and went out after about a quarter of an inch. The head of the cigar cracked about 1.5 inches long, and I was thinking I should have waited to let it stabilize a bit longer. I was able to hold the head together and get it relit and everything turned around. Wonderful flavors of root beer, rich earth and leather with a wonderful ripe tone to the whole thing accompanied by clouds of white smoke. I grabbed some pectin and glued the head while I smoked and never had another problem with it, not even a touch up. I was drinking some diet raspberry white tea that went with it great, but couldn't stop thinking about how some root beer might go with it. The root beer was fine with it, but I think the tart sweetness of the green tea was actually better. Definately an "A" stick in my book. Congrats JD & Co. on another fine stick!

Anyone know if these are popping up in Tampa/Orlando? Only place I see Drew Estate authorized in by me are Tampa Humidor and Beverage Castle...
