OK, now we're doing a little Daughters and Ryan Three Sails in a cob. Pretty much straight VA w/ a little sweetness.
Happy Cinco de Mayo y'all!

VaPer Three Nuns is my all time favorite smoke. The others are Strang, old Balkan Sobranie (certainly not the new rubbish they are making now), Stonehaven, and Murray's Dunhill Navy Rolls. However the new Peter Heinrichs Curly Block is much like the Murray's NR, except a little sweeter with fewer, almost no grass notes, not that the Murrays had much of it. Edgeworth Slices is #6.Quote:
