No, I believe its just the more skilled roller using the same blend. If you watch a video of both styles being rolled, you can tell it takes more skill to do the tapered cap or foot.

No, but I just got some of these fire cured MUWATs that use the fire cured tobacco mentioned in those. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/79532/drew-estate-muwat-kentucky-fire-cured/

[:)] I see that. Full-flavored for sure is apt. I don't remember Parodis as being especially harsh either. Enjoy!

[:D] Indeed.

TUMMMW. (Those Uzis Make My Mouth Water). Too bad the lanceros are all backordered. That sounds like the way to go.

So, after sampling a KFC UZI last night, I like the regular UZIs LOT more than the KFC UZI. The Kentucky fire cured were fine, but not one to keep in my wheelhouse. A good analogy might like a smoked marzen and a standard marzen. I'll take a smoked one from time to time but I'm not buying a case. Same with the KFC MUWAT. Also, just ordered a box of Oliva Series V Melanio after trying one last week. Incredible cigar. Seems like lots of top cigar makers buy tobacco from Oliva. That has to be relevant...

A Leffe Royale....................not a bad beer, and a Marston's Ringwood Fortyniner, and it was a meh.

Great Divide Yeti for stout day!

2 bottles of Fade To Black by Left hand.

Int'l Stout Day, and my birthday! Thought that called for something special, so I pulled one out of the cellar... 2012 Black Ops! [:D]
