Remedios. Mr. Blonde and I planted a crawfish in the box and mailed it to Ocat more than 15 years ago, closer to 20. The crawfish stank could have only improved the flavor.

Ironically, after you sent this I got a message from CI offering free 3-day shipping.

Riata simply put they sucked fetid bilge water

Don Mateo, which I ordered and then remembered I wanted Don Melo

But the worst, I cannot remember the name. Made in Mexico. In a huge cedar chest, each cigar in a box each cigar tissue wrapped. It was as if they were trying to keep you from smelling them

I believe all 3 were made in Mexico.

I've actually had the opposite reaction. First few puffs were disappointing and then the cigar blossomed.

Riata, made in Mexico, bundles. The name means lasso, or lariat. Yes, they took the name from rope that was dragged by a sweating horse through mud and cow excrement and then used to drag cows all over, assuring that everything is ground in clear down to the individual cells of every fiber. Yeah, I want to smoke that.

Don mateo, anagram for teamo, sold by the company that makes teamo. Iirc, they are made with Honduran tobacco. They are made and sold to boost the volume of sales, just like every other inexpensive bundle.

Drew Estate Java. I didn't know it was a flavored cigar (didn't really pay attention to the name, but it had a nice looking wrapper). It was absolutely disgusting. I took one puff, got a syrupy taste in my mouth, threw the cigar on the driveway and brushed my teeth, which failed to get rid of the taste.
