okok I didn't look at the map where Bethlehem is located...I wouldn't mind the trip to Buffalo at all....go there all the time and frequent 2 other B & M's. Art speaks good things about Smokin' Joes but I saw on another thread here that a place of the same name in Washington State, not sure if they are affiliated or not, is selling fakes but I'd definitely be interested in checking it out.

The other 2 places I go to is Virgil Ave Tobacco and Nice Ash Cigars and Lounge. Nice Ash has a niced sized humi with good selection....prices are a little higher than the Virgil but I guess the lounge they have (leather sofas, big screen tv's, pool tables) ain't gonna pay for itself.

Hey James I actually may be heading out to Buffalo soon BTW but still have to discuss specifics with the wife...sorry short notice.

Met up with John yesterday, and he was kind enough to share one with me. I had a churchill sized stick with a dark wrapper, not sure if it was a Maduro or not. We both loved the flavours of these cigars. Mine was really sweet, and the smoke aroma was amazing. Like gingerbread cookies baking or some sort.

Unfortunately both are sticks were extremely tight. We could hardly draw on these things. Made it a really bad experience.

We both agreed that despite the claim of it being a hand rolled cigar, it seemed far to perfectly uniform and tight like a machine rolled cigar. My thoughts were perhaps it's a half truth, and the machine roll the filler, and then have a guy sit in the store, and hand roll the wrapper on to it.

With about a third left, I was able to pull out a very thin stem in the middle, about 2-3 inches long, and that opened her right up to a perfect draw. John was able to do the same. Too bad the stick was so super heated at this point that both are sticks went bitter on us.

Potential to be an amazing cigar, but that draw made me want to smash it with a hammer.

Thanks for inviting me out for a brew, and sharing one of these with me brother.
My name is Ryan McGill owner of RJ Cigar company and I would like to assure you that all my cigars are hand rolled in my store if you would like to come and check out my store at any time I'm at 6680 gulf blvd St.Pete beach Florida. The roller is Addit Brito a Cuban master roller of significant experience. Also if you had a draw issue it may be because you punched the cigar the Churchill's should be cut to get a good draw. If you have any questions or comment please feel free to call me at the store 7274986443 anytime

Also the wrapper is an Equidor oscuro wrapper . The cigars that I gave you were for you to see if you liked the taste, they are a specific personal blend, that tight draw is the perfered draw of the person that it was blended for. Also most good hand rolled cigars will have a vain or two in them the cigars with no vains are a machined cigar, or a crushed recycled tobacco cigar. My roller is one of the best in world I'd put him up against any roller out there.

No punch here. We cut the cap off so you couldn't tell which end was which, and it didn't help a bit. You would need to be a vacuum to draw on them.

That personal blend is great, cause that was the best smelling cigar I've had, and the taste was great. It was just that tight restricted draw.

Thanks for sending the sticks though. It was truly appreciated. :thumbsup:

Ryan, I would first like to thank you for the smokes, it was very kind of you. As you have read it was a great smoke with the downfall of a very tight smoke. I smoked the Daniel A and my buddy smoked the RJ Sup. I have to say that the aroma from the RJ was the best i have smelled. Maybe you can post some pics of your cigars and maybe some pics of your shop for the guys here they would enjoy that. When i fist posted no one had heard about your business but i think some pics and history of Addit might generate some interest in your product.
