I know there has been a lot of fuss about these recently and two singles turned up today so thought it would be nice to light one up!

Great Review - although the end of it turned a little "Blair Witch Project".

The last couple of minutes I was worried you might get raped by a Yetti.

Which reminds me, has everyone been wearing their rape whistles like you are supposed to???

[Deemancpa]

CQ-thanks for the honest review....brave soul, reviewing in the rain.....I really like the shape but I will look for a few singles....d

[CaptainQuintero]

The light literally went within ten minutes, storm clouds came and that was that!

[sharks]

Great review Capt.. I have 2 inbound myself to Aus. Will let them sit for awhile to see how they fair. Fingers crossed..

You're certainly getting the shitty end of the stick of late weather wise mate.It's making it look tropical here in comparison notwithstanding the fact that you're only about 90 minutes away.Thanks for the review mate,here's hoping that things come together to give you a better experience with the second stick.

[PuffDaddie]

Great review,just order a ten box.

[Puros Y Vino]

CQ you're pretty hardcore. Smoking out in the rain. Thanks for taking one for the team. For me, these don't seem to be worth it. At least not now.

Cheers buddy

I agree, for me I'd rather have a Boli PC. The hype is the shape not the flavour. They are pleasent don't get me wrong but they are nothing special for my tastes.

[maverickdrinker]

Heard mixed reviews on this. Will wait to hear more before looking to get a box.

...They are pleasent don't get me wrong but they are nothing special for my tastes.

......The hype is the shape not the flavour.

This is absolutely standard.

And that's why I'm waiting for my box...

thanks for the rainy review

[canadianbeaver]

Thank you for this thoughtful and thorough review in the cold dark weather. I have an incoming box with another FOH and I am concerned somewhat about it but I think with time they will mature up to better smokes.

At least I hope so. A box split was definitely a good way to go here.

I enjoyed your candid review. These might have Cuaba-style perfecto plug problems. I will probably follow your lead and only seek out a couple.....

[riazp]

Very Nice Review CQ. Hair grew out since the last review lol! looking foward to hearing more reviews about this.

Just sounds to me like these need more time to come into their own. what was the box code on this?

[cottierm]

This was a review of epic proportion! Bravo to CQ for fighting the elements in order to achieve this!

Best,

Michel

Great review Captain, braving the rain and cold

[CaptainQuintero]

Thanks all, I literally couldn't hear myself speak over the rain and couldn't feel my hands from the cold!

No idea on the box code Riaz, they all seem to be Nov/Dec 11 though

Smoked one of these earlier on, i picked up a single after seeing Ajay's review, and im glad i can smoke indoors or the snow would have made for as an unpleasant experience as the rain in your video captain.

The first inch or so of this smoke had an interesting floral kind of flavour not really sure how else to describe it which was interesting, around medium on the 1st third going onto fullish after that, the initial flavour disappeared not long into it and wasnt replaced with anything particularly interesting which was a shame, and the last third was very bitter, pitched it around the bolivar band. Also the burn was pretty bad and required numerous touch ups, had a firmish draw with a hot fast burn which seemed an odd combo. Really liked the vitola but not entirely sure about the rest of it, think ill try and pick up a few more before writing it off completely.

[CaptainQuintero]

Yeah can't disagree with that, love the vitola just a pity what they made it with, like an Eiffel Tower made out of used handkerchiefs !

[dangolf18]

Couple I've had also had some burn issues. Also, somewhat underfilled. Superb tobacco though! 86 on construction and 95-96 on flavor.

[LeafLover]

You have nice hair

[Hohenthal]

That is true commitment, bravo!

I reviewed the Britanicas recently: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112417&st=0#entry342391

I was not impressed, but there was something there that I hope time bring out.

[Danston]

How did you get on with the Brit shlo?

[Diamondog]

How is the other UK regional of the time doing, the punch medalla de oro, anyone?
