Another thing that bears mentioning. Smoke time on this was an hour ten and remember, I didn't even get close to the nub. Now, I tend to smoke slowly, but this could easily scare the hour and a half mark.
Anyone who can nub one of these without his face blowing off get's a cold draft from me.
@jhedrick83
just asked me what the actual vintage was on this stick. The guy I got them from told me he'd gotten them on a recommendation from another friend right after they launched in 2006. That's nigh-on 9 years and if this one is any indication, they'll go at least 15 and I'll bet well beyond. This could be a legitimate "extreme age" cigar, making it into the 20-25 realm.
It's also amazing that there were only 15,000 total boxes, yet their still available.
I've had some marinating per your recommendation from the old site.....
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.
