I've been astounded at how the Inmates over in the NC MAW have been able to fulfill wishes. I'm thinking that next time I'm up I'm going to wish for Elisha!

Well you could have asked Santa for her... but you just got stupid cigars instead!

We have a few boxes. After the initial release they don't sell too well for us.

Thought I'd piggy-back on Moe's thread to add a few pictures & review of my own.

Braved the cold & wind to smoke a #5 today. Rugged looking, oily & toothy wrapper. Well constructed. Definitely a complex & flavorful smoke. I was first hit with some wood & floral-like notes, all covered in pepper. About midway it turned earthy, with bitter chocolate & some more pepper. The aftertaste was tobacco & wood.

I enjoy these short med/full-bodied smokes. Not as much as the Illusione 68, but these are still very good.

I always pass over them because of the $9 price tag.


I really like saying "La Riqueza" though. I roll the R, like "La RRRRRRIQUEZA" and I say it with an exaggerated accent. :-)

I LOVE these! If the price comes down I will love them even more :-)

Great reveiw and pics :-)

Those look really good. Thanks for the reviews. I'll have to give one a try sometime.
