@Sir Lancerolot

I smoked and reviewed the Sancho Panza MM, and didn't care for it. However, I rested it for probably 6-9 months at 70%. Also, I've been experiencing bitterness issues with the last 4/4 cigars smoked, and was recommened by @Emperor Zurg to drop it to the low 60s, which I'm in the process of doing now. @jhedrick83 said he used to enjoy them, so maybe some of my problem with the SPMM was my RH. Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future.

Thanks for the info, and am interested in hearing more about your home-rolleds.

I keep all my storage at 62-65%. I find I have fewer burn issues and more consistent flavors.

Try the SP about a week after you buy them. They really do not mature gracefully.

My home rolls taste good, but they look pretty scary. I haven't been able to spend time regularly perfecting my technique, so I still occasionally have batches with burn issues. Besides looking like something a wild man of Borneo would squint at ...

If you ever need a taste tester....

Yeah, yeah... Home rolls indeed.

Don't let him pull the wool over your eyes, people. He calls them that but it's just an elaborate cover. I've seen pics of his "home rolls" and you can practically SEE the Calaberg fingerprints all over them. Yessir, he's got himself a secret stash of the elusive Guten Cala and he won't share!!

LOL! I actually did get a few samples of their new Kopi Luwak cigars. The filler consists entirely of tobacco leaves that have been consumed - and "redeposited" - by tobacco beetle larvae. And of course, you know the Gutencalabergs wouldn't use just ANY tobacco beetle. They have spent years raising and selectively breeding the perfect beetle, whose larvae digest the tobacco in just the right way to enhance the natural flavors of the leaves. And I'm sure you know those aren't just ANY tobacco leaves ...

I can hardly wait to try them ...

ROFL!!! And I imagine this is all done in the zero gravity of space too. Space-X indeed; it's just a Calaberg farming operation.

Well when you do try one, we all have our fingers crossed in hopes of a review

Well, the secret's out now ...

I wonder if they use the 'enpellado" bunching method


Also known as the "enturdado" method
