Was going to go with a genesis . Went with a WTF I picked up at a B and M in Kansas City last December. Supposedly it was originally blended for them. So far it's ok I have not been impressed with the first inch. It's a little harsh. I almost tossed it but my fiancé's brother says they are great so ill stick with it a little while longer to see if i can figure out why he thinks its awesome. It has a nice sweet note but it does not last very long.
Don Pepin Garcia's personal smoke. He gifted couple of these during my visit to his farm. I wish these were avilable for purchase. I will review the second one with picture. All I can say is- it is a combo of his 10th Anniversary and La Duena cigars.

"He" as in Don Pepin Garcia himself? Rzaman.... what next! I kinda suspect your real name may be Carlito.

you need to check out his thread on Cuba.......great pics and wonderful stories.
Thanks Brian. I need to add more info to the Cuba thread. I am almost close to write up one about Pinar del Rio and Don Alejandro Robina's finca. I was lucky to met legendary Ballerina Alicia Alnfonco during my trip to Robina's farm. I will post some pictures.

A highlight to my cigar smoking/collecting hobby is visiting a new B&M.... I would love to see photos and hear the stories! Please post!

Had a Cuenca y Blanco-Robusto last night. The flavors were very one note which I think is a little weird for Mr. Blanco. This leads me to believe it needs a little more rest in the humidor and and soem time for the flavors of the leaf to blend a little more. But what do I know?

i had a similar experience. I'm letting the next one sit a while to see if it changes.

Good to know I wasn't the only one as the reviews I have been reading are saying otherwise.

Yeah man, it's a consensus hit with reviewers. Justin sent me a couple, so I figured I'd let one rest. I didn't dislike it, but it seemed confused as to whether the blend was Nica or DC. Age may marry the filler, but I think they are not a good match ROTT. I will reserve judgement though until it sits, as I have seen many cigars improve drastically after 6 months.
The reason is, it has significant amount of Dominican as well as Nicaraguan tobaccos. I witnessed the development if this blend with Jose Blanco. there is also tobacco from one more country the blender and the company do not want to reveal. I don't think it will develop a lot with aging. I think it is a good cigar but not phenomenal. Jose had a lot of pressure to finalize the blend. I can't blame him for not being able to make something like 100 Anos. The commercial pressure is a bad thing. now a days we also see Davidoff is having the same issue.
