I've been enjoying cigars since I was 18 and only smoke the best I can afford. I've even traveled to Miami with my brother, just to meet Ernesto Carillo of La Gloria, pick up a few boxes, and fly home again.
I also live in the very heart of the Connecticut valley and am surrounded by vast fields of resurrected broadleaf and shade farms. Some of my best friends are the ones who sell directly to the Fuente family and I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to "test" cigars from those crops as well.
So, I'd love the chance to test two cigars, especially one with a Connecticut wrapper. I've experience with just about everything including some "pre-embargo" Cubans. The current crop of Cubans are no longer the best, imho. Connecticut wrapper has become pre-eminent in their field.
If you're still looking for any testers, email me directly. I'd be happy to provide you with an honest asessment of your new sticks.
