Are we taking this week off?

These are really good. So much Graham cracker and nougat. Super creamy too! It's a little woodsy but really tasty for a young cigar. 1st one from a fiver. It's really mild/mediumish throughout the entire cigar which I love! Probably one of the better offering I've tried in the last 3 years from HSA.

Thank goodness there are no In and Out burgers in New England. The best fast food burger out there. Makes Wendy's look like dog food.

There sure is! I represent Leeuwin in Massachusetts and the Art Series chard is as good as top quality Burgundy. I got lucky and scored a bunch of Claredon Hills for $10 a pop from the 2011 vintage. Grenache and Syrah. We open it for friends who are casual wine drinkers and they love it. A little too much for me personally. Reminds me of very good quality CdP. I need me some Sami Odi!!!!

Damn, this stuff is hard to get in the states. I've only had his "little wines" a handful of times and deeply regret not signing up on Frasier's list sooner. Now the list is 20k deep and I'll surely never make this list. So are you guys pounding this stuff down under or is it equally as hard to get in Australia?

Great review and great cigar!

About 5 years back I had the opportunity to buy a bunch of different Zalto glasses at the distributors cost as a thank you for helping them out. I grabbed a dozen assorted stems (Bordeaux, Burg, and the Universal) for roughly $25 a pop. Absolutely stunning. Here's a little secret, the universal stem from Spiegelau Defintion series is a damn good fill in if you don't want to drop the coin on a Zalto. Like a 1/3 of the cost. Not a big fan of the other Spiegelau Defintions but the universal is a home run.

I don't think you get cigars when you win anymore.

I could actually see dry, high acid Rieslings like Falkensteins Kabinets being super refreshing and palate cleansing. Still would never mix the two.....

Legendary cigar and box code. Great review!

I'm in!

William Kelley singlehandedly keeps The Wine Advocate viable. He's the only reason I still subscribe.

My coworker and I were just talking about this. Willie's had a long run but he's had to make a significant life decision. No more tokie, tokie but he's all about the edibles now. At 90 years old lolol!

Chappelle and Norm Shane Gillis and Theo Von are a honorable mention.
