    Very cool! Way to go Danilo2709

    Knowing that they ship to Canada is also good news because if they're good, I'd love to buy a sampler or two and try them myself.

    Didn't anybody else PM him?

    I just finished one of the Ancestrals 1941 torpedos and it was a great smoke! Nice roll, pretty even burn considering I sparked it right out of the mailbox(Came straight from Costa Rica)! Great taste too. Just smoked it down to the nub, which means I enjoyed it!:)

    I don't mind sharing the wealth! PM your address Captain and I'll send you a couple over to try, then when you had a chance post a review in this thread and/or in the main review area. Sounds good?

    Cool, thanks a bunch Roham.....PM sent.

    I have to agree, they looked very good in the pictures so I'm looking forward to trying one. Sadly, I'm not the ideal candidate for an in-depth review (my palate is not very refined...lol), but I will definitely do my best.

    Perhaps you should contract with Roham to photograph your cigars for you. That way it will be easier to see what they look like on your site!

    Ok, so I had a second today. And it was just as tastey as the first. Great roll and burn. Couldn't quit smoke it too the nub because it got very strong near the end, but still a great smoke.

    I'm sending you the last three of the Ancestrals and a couple from the other 5 pack. That should keep you happy. And it doesn't need to be a crazy review. Just post if you liked them or not

    HEY! You have my patio table!!! Fancy that! Me and Roham are linked by Patio Table!!

    BTW - the claim is they're just like Cuban cigars. Any truth to that rumor?

    Everyone claims they have "Cuban" like-cigars, and usually that claim holds no water. These cigars may not be exactly Cubans, but they did make a pretty darn solid cigar. We see what Captn says when he tries one:)

    Whew!

    Thanks Roham. One of each would have been plenty, I may have to share the wealth a little too.

    You can count on me posting whether or not I enjoy the cigars.

    Captain, I don't want to just take one from you but if we could work out a trade of some sort you can certainly include one. I don't think I have traded with you yet.

    That would be cool with me.

    I'll post in this thread once they arrive and PM you at the same time and we'll get a small trade under way.
