I haven't set an exact date. Release dates can be tricky.
I do plan on shipping this summer though. It's looking like end of July.

I would call the blend a medium to full with a nice draw, very flavorful with an incredible aroma and burns a chalk white ash.
I definitely would say it has a coffee hint to it with some hints of nut...like almond. There is a rawness to it that I enjoy the most. They age very well making the wrapper even more oily.
I love it. I hope you will to!
I apologize for not answering sooner...As you can imagine I have been swamped with getting this company off the ground.
(thanks Nofeardiver, for the private message on responding to this question)
Thanks for the info, Sam. Sounds awesome. Can't wait to try one!

I for one love big ring gauges and they tend to be selling quite well. If not, no one would be making them. Can't wait to try these Sam.Good luck.

I agree. I like the big rg too. Not sure why, but I enjoy em. The smaller ring gauge just doesn't seem like I'm smoking a cigar. Maybe it just feels too close to a cigarette.
