What's your honest opinion of the AB, Bob?
I bought a box of the 2nd release, and while I like it, it definitely does not taste like grape jelly the OR was said to have. Different taste for sure.
Foot smells like raisins, and lots of stewed fruit, IMO.
I never had any of the OR so I can't compare this release to them. Frankly, although I enjoy all 3, this is the least favorite of the trilogy for me. I'd rank them Anaconda, Fuma em Corda and the AB. Unfortunately, I'm out of the Fumas and just a few left of the other 2. I have to say that I've never tasted grape jelly in any cigar I've ever smoked, but then my palate isn't as refined as I'd like it to be. I'm better at picking up aromas off the foot and wrapper.

Thanks @Dran
I know I have a couple Motivos stashed in the humi, I'm gonna find em.
The M356i was better, but they did a pretty good job of replicating it with a new batch of tobacco! I'm having the Thompson's exclusive release from Aging Room. It doesn't hold a candle to either rendition, but still not a bad stick!
