Herf #57, Location: Everett, WA is underway!
In attendance are: Fernand, Robert, Joe, Chris, Dan, Jim, and Patrick in AZ @PHXCigarGuy.
Chris served up some amazing Italian Beef. Dan assisted with assorted Italian sliced meats & cheeses. Joe added meatballs for good measure. ^Fernand
We're following our usual 4-part rating system (Appearance & Construction, Flavor, Smoking Characteristics, and Overall Impression).
After an opening surge of peppers, this torpedo has quickly mellowed. ^Fernand

@phxcigarguy. Yeah, it does add to a good experience when there's no flakes or unexpected ash dropping off. ^Robert
Jim is seeing the pepper come back, while Joe is getting more sweetness, like cinnamon. ^Fernand
The smoke output of mine is nothing short of impressive! ^Fernand

This was a very enjoyable cigar but no particular flavor ever seemed to come out for me. ^Robert
