Por Larranaga Belicoso Extra Video Review

[PDC1]

I really do like this video review concept. Very open and genuine.

Great to see Smithy have a bit more input this time. I was hoping though, that he might've chucked in a "hint of 'caramelised' popcorn" this time around.

Excellent work fellas, keep it up.

Geez, the lad clearly has an exquisite palate.

I do and I will be bringing that into the next review. I have edited all of those comment out about prawn shells, I still sound very intelligent.

[Mike 331]

Good honest review guys. I'm really enjoying the video review format, as well as the "outtakes."

[Guest rob]

I'm glad Smithy has come out of his shell for this vid.

corn, prawn. i just assumed that they were tiny mispronounciations.

Gargett, I was good to you in the latest video, I had a dig at myself and Ayala comes in for his usual treatment. As for Rob's comment about me coming out of my shell, mate its bloody hard to get a word in when Ken and Ayala start bitching at each other like an old married couple.

[DocRKS]

.....Ken and Ayala start bitching at each other like an old married couple.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!!!

This video review is a great concept in cigar reviews. +++

Regarding the PL Belicoso - I was a little let down in trying this smoke - expected a lot more flavor and finish - but there is certainly a taste here that says that putting these down and forgetting about them for a year or two and then re-visiting this cigar will be an action that will indeed be rewarded.

Fantastic video review... I am loving the whole concept. Keep up the reviews!!!

[Don Candido]

I think we need a West Coast (SF Bay Area) review forum to counter the poor video reviews coming from Australia!

Any readers, who feel their taste and opinion is important enough for all of us, who live between SF, SJ, Oakland and the near areas of the SF Bay Area in California, should send me a PM. (Go to my Profile and send me a note.)

I am looking for people who are comfortable doing a cigar review online for the world to see, and most importantly, those, who through their review can make Rob, Ken, Smithy and Al look like idiots. A bonus for all of us....

And I say that with the utmost love and respect for Ron, Ken, Smithy and Al. They know this is done with love. I want to be sure you know this too. Rob, Ken, Smithy and Al are my buddies. They may be wrong about what they smoke, but they are loved. Do not try to join to get personal. I will cut you quicker than I would cut gangrene.

So? Any takers?

Don,

Please let me make one thing perfectly clear, we don't need to you make us look like idiots! I think the video reviews demonstrate the we are perfectly capable of doing that ourselves.

[habanablue]

Nice to see Ken with some pants on!

Smithy,

there is no reason to make this easier than it already was going to be.

Love,

DC

Now DC you are aware that you will be putting yourself up there for ridicule from the rest of us with your cigar reviews, hope you're emotionally ready this.

[greenpimp]

Don

Next time I'm up north I'm in.

I think at least one segment should be in character of Rob, Ken, and Smitty. Maybe with masks, fancy shirts (Ayala,) fancy facial hair, and belly shirt a la Gargett. Get drunk and bag on each other. Then we'll fly to Australia!

I'll bring props and a bunch of cigars and liquor. Maybe my film editing days will help though probly not. Music, dancing chics, you know...production value baby!

I knew there was a reason they call you the pimp.

Oh there seems to be a misunderstanding. I am getting a group of people together who want to counter the Ausi reviews. I don't plan to be in the reviews. I am too thin skinned (emotionally unready) for the ridicule I would receive.

[El Presidente]

It alwasy looks so easy from the other side of the fence

Ken wants his own dressing room. Spielberg Smith is framing shots with his hands every 2 minutes. There is an all in brawl for control of the remote. Ken wonders why we can't have credits at the end of the film. Smithy edits out and criticism of him. Ken always rings at 9am the following day and asks "is it up yet....how did I look?"

Priceless

Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my LONG shot...

[strayvector]

Great review as always, gents. Smithy, you need to focus in on the sponsor a little better.

[terrantheman]

Once again I really enjoyed the Austraillian review it's so different getting the aussie perspective

[CGB]

These are great reviews! You guys could be the next Seinfield Show!

there are days when rob 'costanza' ayala does remind me of the lord of the idiots episode. minismithy could be newman, if somewhat thinner.
