L&B

Here it is the Island Jim.  Introduced at the 2014 ICPCR in Vegas
Jim is keeping the blend a secret for now but here is what I know.
Toro size, shaggy foot with a unique cone shaped head that has a Connecticuit band.  Like the other L&B's it is rolled on Danli, Honduuras by Oscae Valadares at this factory Oscar Valladares Tobacco Company.

I cannt believe you dont already have 5 volunteer's. I would have thought people would be lining up to get in on a great smoke like this. I havn't been fortunate enough to smoke any thing from them yet but I have only heard good thing's. I dont meet the criteria as I have already done a critique this year or I would be all over this.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I guess people don't like to smoke free cigars.

I have already done one this year but if you are having problems finding volunteer's I am more then happy to help out.

Looks like it's getting harder and harder to find people who are willing to review sticks with this new frequency.

Perhaps we could raise the limit of 2 reviews per person per year?

Hard to believe people aren't responding to this...I'll put my hat in the ring if there is space available.  Looks like a great cigar to me.

As always I am willing to Critique another fine cigar if you can't fill it up. I have already participated this year though.

With the lack of responses, why have a limit? I know we want a mix of reviewers, but if no one is willing to sign up, let those who are. Just my two cents.

I'd do this one, but I just did the Sindicato reviews last month.
