Southern Draw Jacob's Ladder

Sorry guys, just a bit of a tease here, but promised Robert Holt of Southern Draw I would hold off on posting a review on this cigar until closer to release date sometime around this year's trade show.
Let me just say this....if you are a fan of a BOLD flavor bomb, then you need to get your hands on one of these at first opportunity!!
Had the pleasure of trying a pre-release a month or two ago and was VERY impressed!! I can't wait for these to become available.

Write the review, send it to doug (or me if you don't have his email) and we'll put into the CMS for release before IPCPR. I reached out to Robert once about advertising with us... he never got back to me...

I like bold flavor bombs. I'm looking forward to the release of this cigar. Any idea on the price range?

Just keep in mind that Robert runs a very small boutique company ans is so busy that he and his wife rarely get home. I have developed a bit of a relationship with them and if they are indeed at the show (they missed it last year because he was in Nicaragua dealing with a tobacco problem), I'll slip in a question about advertising. I think he mainly relies on special appearances and word of mouth.

Robert Holt is a hell of a guy (of course, he's a Texan), and he puts full effort into his cigars, draw testing every single one before the cap is applied.

Jeff, they're supposed to be there this year. Unless their plans have changed, they are supposed to be teaming up with AJF at their booth.

Will do John, I'll try to get something written up sometime this weekend when I get home and get it to you.

Robert came to visit us in April. I, too was sworn to secrecy when he handed me a Jacob's Ladder for release at the trade show.

Words of wisdom. Smoke it slow and sitting down.

Phenomenal, powerful, full-bodied smoke with a cornucopia of flavor.

If you're a fan of bold, manly, rich smokes, this is for you. I have a few boxes pre-ordered from the show already (for Famous re-sale). Can't wait to get them in. These are gonna sell well to seasoned smokers that have been around the block a few times.

Since the silence has been broken, we'll start accepting pre-orders in a few days.

Cheers!

Humberto

Spiridon, did you give me one of these to smoke, last time we saw each other? You gave me the same warning as Humberto gives, right?

If so, it's a damn fine cigar.
