You know what's gotten real good lately?

[whodeeni]

The my father El Picador! I had two of those that Earl (Greyghost) had gifted
me a while back. Don't really know how to describe the flavors, but let's just
say they've "aged well". If you can find some, or you have them on hand, smoke them up!:eyebrow:

Got a box at Empire, and I am really happy that I did... I agree. They are smoking great.

Thanks Brotha! I was in Raleigh last month for a conference and didn't have
time to stop by Empire, or try to herf w/ the local brother's at all! I'm on a
buying freeze (Supposedly) right now but once i start again, I'll see if some are
still available.

tried one a couple of nights ago. had the box since they were released and they have, i use the term loosely, mellowed. still plenty strong, just not the sharp bite.

They were green when first released, now they're great! and you're right,
there is plenty of strength throughout!

Smoking one now and just ordered another box. Very full flavored and spicy. In addition to the peppery spice, I get a lot of cinnamon/baking spices out of these.

I thought they were really good upon release, but it is smoking even better now. Great size, awesome construction, and most importantly, rich full bodied flavor. Awesome retailer too. Thanks for the thread.

Edit: Smoked it down to a 5/16" nub and severely burned my thumb and middle finger.

These are great little smokes...so good infact I finished mine off before they could age.:angeryell

Agreed that they are fantastic smokes. Empire also has another exclusive (pretty sure) which is the Cheroot from LFD. That one is amazing as well.
