Colt45 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks for the review For my own curiosity (not questioning your objectivity), did you deduct points for the wrapper flaw as shown in pic 2, and any deduction for the split wrapper later on?

El Presidente Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Excellent review Gino! To me this is the finest Cuaba ever produced. Nothing since has come close on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
