The Cigar: Warped Lirio Rojo 2019

The Specs:
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-Full
Size: 6.38" x 42

Due Date: September 25, 2020

The Hype: Lirio Rojo translates to "red lilly" from Spanish. The 2019 limited release of the Lirio Rojo is a new size, a 6 3/8 x 42 lonsdale vitola rolled with a 109 cap, which is basically a combination of a belicoso cap and a normal cap. In previous years, this cigar was only produced in a corona vitola. However, while the vitola size and the cap used on the cigars were changed for 2019's release, other details remained the same (i.e. the blend remained a Nicaraguan puro that was sold in cabinets of 50 without bands.)

Reviewers:
We're looking for the following volunteers initially: Veteran status or higher that did not do a Member Geek Critique review for August or September. Shipping CONUS only. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Deener27 will select the reviewers from the volunteers.

The Chosen Reviewers:
1. DRuff
2. Kid Montana

Note[/i]: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer.

I just tracked it.  It is ridiculous.

Went from me, to Des Moines (flew right over the top of you), then skipped you again and went back to Chicago Distribution...

I hope it gets to you soon.  If not, we will figure something out.
