2013 CAO Black Churchill with Diet Pepsi, air cooled. Hope to see my granddaughter tomorrow. I'm going to take her to the dollar store and give her $2. She can buy two items, or I'll put $2 in her piggy bank for each dollar that she doesn't spend. Thus I hope to teach her that money doesn't grow on trees, at the Dollar Tree.

I don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad.

Not really sure how old, these old sticks are, but they're old. Been trying to fix their shortcomings with age but that's a fool's errand. Speaking of fools, shortcomings and errands, the years have evaporated my shortcomings and I do have urgent errands but I delay to write this post.
The Griffin's was like a pre-boom Graycliff, a hyped, over priced, private label offering. Taste is indistinguishable from cheap H. Kelner bundles that are, at least, honest in price, and you won't have to spend decades 'ageing' them to see if they get any better, cuz they don't.
Here is my full review of The Griffin's Robusto:
I think I still have one more left. Perhaps I'll take off the label and give it to someone as a blind test (yes I know the review is blank - just as it should be).
Know that the Griffins are rather well liked by some, but your take on them mirrors mine.
Those I smoked, a couple of years ago were the #500 found nothing memorable about them.
Maybe they're just a variety of mild whose flavour changes are too subtle for me to note.

Jericho Hill .44S...5.125x44 Just set alight, haven't had one of these in three weeks and wondering if I'll note any changes since smoking that one ROTT.

Arandoza White Label Double Corona...7.25x49. About to ignite this one, attractive wrapper shade,good tobacco smell,nice weight, neither too soft nor too hard. Sure looks like full growed Churchill cigar. Time to see if there's any kick to it.

It occurred to me that once you remove the band from a cigar, it's just a cigar. So today, that's what I'm smoking, a cigar
OK, it's a Cain Habano, the kind with the band around the foot. And now I see that my photography skills leave something to be desred...
You oughta know not to stand by the window, somebody see you up there.
