Blind box buy based on a short story and review from @NurseDave

Light and initial cold draw is sweet on the lips and tip of tongue. Once heated extremely creamy, and mild with just a hint of sweetness, still on the lips and tip of tongue. During the 1st third super mellow but rich with Almond, a hint of vanilla and marshmallow with cedar on the palate. Retrohale adds some more deeper notes of some nutmeg, and more cedar. Super enjoyable after dinner with some bourbon, especially on ice. Tasting remains consistent through to final third and to the end,

with that subtle lip Sweetness from the Nicaraguan wrapper. Good volume of smoke, with no negative or burnt secondary notes. Very reminiscent of both the AVO XO, and the Spice Cream but more complex and delicious.

if the XO and The Spicecream had a cigar baby this would be it. Superb!

Thanks @NurseDave , and sorry I will keep the box and get more 🤓🤪😂

Ya; that’s what I meant to say ;)
 
I used to blind buy all the time. Cigars cost a BUNCH more than when I collected cigars. Same with pipes and razors. Still watching for a Tinsky pipe to come along. He wouldn’t PIF me one.
 
We were going to see a matinee today, but I had PT, Sharon had a class, plus a bunch of errands so we decided on 8:30, plus we won’t burst into flames when we leave the theatre as this is what is on the way this week
