I saw this. Wouldn't you believe that I only have one weekend trip planned all year, and it happens to fall on that weekend! I'll be sending up the smoke signals from the North Carolina mountains that week though, keep an eye out for them!

Taking a water temp certainly makes a difference- I brew mine right around 87 deg C, as to not release any of the more bitter aspects of the bean into the brew. My more choice method as of lately though has been the cold brew- where its about 1:4 ration of grounds and cold water left in the press over night. You wind up with a much thicker, almost elixir of a coffee that you can then dilute with water and reheat, or, enjoy with some ice cubes if you're impatient (as I am myself!)

Very glad I picked a box of these up. Nice review!

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome!

Excellent advice. I just participated in an extremely successful box split and got to increase my stash by 5 marcas of Corona Gordas, 3 of which I've never had before. Can't wait until I can get into the trading forum here.

Not many runners and cigar enthusiasts that I've come across, glad to find another here!

Hello all. I've been lurking here, mainly on the 24:24 for maybe a bit more than a month, and I really like the feel of this community, so I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself and partake in some of the other goodness this forum has to offer. I've been smoking cigars for a bit more than 2 years, and have a collection that I'm too scared to quantify of CCs and NCs. I typically enjoy my 46-48 RG the most, although I don't think I'll ever get tired of Belicosos. Looking to expand my knowledge and tastes of cigars, and look forward to getting to know this forum! Cheers!
