I don't know why, but a "Betsy Ross Perfecto" cracks me up.
Ha! Yeah. They have accumulated dozens of defunct brand names over the century and a half. Like Engagement and Newcomer. They still make the Newcomer.Quote:

So, webmost, what happens if you keep these cigars for 6-8 months before smoking?
Amish barns...... FWIW I don't really care for the amish. I don't hate them but I have little use for a religious group who does not have to do what other Americans are required to do by our laws.
It's clear to me these cigars were never created for long term storage or maximum enjoyment, and only created to generate smoke... :smiley5:Quote:

I'm not sure there would be a noticeable difference drying the tobacco in an "Amish" barn. Anyone got any measurable perspective on that? As in - evidence it creates a higher quality cigar?Quote:

I wonder who the "Johnny Sotweedseed" person is who was quoted on their website...
Comparing a machine made cigar to a machine made motorcycle or truck is an interesting parallel. I'm not sure ol' Johnny realizes that both trucks and motorcycles are not machine made. :smiley2:
