Well, I went to an event at my local B&M for Cuban Imports. Al Argenti, one of the owners of the company was there promoting his cigars. Their cigars include the Exile Cigars, Por Larranaga Cuban Grade, H. Upmann Signature, and the El Rey Del Mundo Olvidados. I don't think I've ever had such a great time at a cigar event. Al Argenti is a fantastic guy. He's a lot of fun (especially when he went and brought in a few fantastic bottles of port). He's really proud of his cigars, and I can see why. The Exile Rosado is a very good cigar. That's the cigar that looks like it's wrapped in newspaper from the announcement of the Cuban embargo. It's a medium-bodied cigar with a great sungrown wrapper. But the best cigar I had by far was the El Rey Del Mundo Olvidados. It's on the full side of medium and had just a ton of great flavors. Reasonably complex, but the draw, burn, and construction were perfect. I smoked two of them there. Al also provided just a ridiculous amount of freebies as well. If you've seen these cigars around, but hesitated trying them, I recommend doing so, especially the Olvidados. And if they have an event near you, you gotta drop by.
 
Hmmmm...I think you should at least send me one of each of the above mentioned sticks so I will know what to try when the time comes! :D :D :D
 
As the spirit of BP lives on, your other friend in the cold north likes cigars too!!
