I wouldn't mind getting in on this one Nathan....The previous Leaf and Bean I reviewed was really good and to have this one in comparison would be pretty cool.
I thought I was wrong once....but I was mistaken....

What good is it to wear your lucky rocketship underpants if nobody wants to see them????

Just a little more info on this cigar. Jim Robinson worked with Noel Rojas of Guayacan Cigars on this blend. Size will be toro (52X6).
This cigar was released in November of 2013 at the same time as the Estaben release. I am waiting for Jim to provide the exact blend
