I think a cutting head for oxy/acetylene.

Yeah on the band, not that it matters. Either try harder, or try less hard.

It probably doesn't make any difference (or very little), but the Robusto and Churchill vitolas are of different tobacco blends.....anyone smoked their churchill yet?

I fired up a robusto over the weekend. Perfect burn, light gray ash that held solid for an inch, good draw, nice aroma, med-full strength, started out strong with a nice pepper and then went to a cedar-ish wood. Taste was nice but not interesting. Nubbed it without it getting hot/harsh. I'm interested to see what the churchill will be like. Good cigar, though overpriced by a couple bucks IMO.

Here's me before I smoked it:

I look so cool with my new shades.
