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.

Fantastic!

This place seemed like a scam at first, but seems to be, in actuality, a straight up company. Maybe somewhat of a language barrier. So...I ordered a couple of the samplers. When they come in, I'll report back and if a couple of guys want to try one, I'll send a few out.
By the way, the shipping for two samplers was only $5.

Nope, that was the North Sydney, Nova Scotia publication.

You understand my confusion, correct?

Yes, definitely. At least the Sydney Mines Cigar Selector went to letter ratings.

This trade is complete. I got my end quickly but it took nearly three and a half decades for what I sent to clear Canadian customs. I hear they finally did arrive so we are all done here. Thanks for the trade and the great looking smokums you sent my way captn. I look forward to trading with you again someday.

Yes indeed, your end arrived safe and sound on Friday (finally...darn Canada Post........LOL).

That's a tasty looking bunch you sent me, thank you very much, I can't wait to get at them...........I'll probably spark one up tonight even.

I got the two samplers I ordered on Saturday. The Ancestral Robusto Sampler and a Variety Sampler.
They arrived in good shape, although not in any sort of zip lock. Just two packs of cigars in a box. Tabacos de la Cordillera did contact me to make sure all was well with the shipment.
They are resting in my humi. I'm sure they're fine. They do look nice.
I will send out two cigars (one from each sampler - my choice)to the first two that would like to try them. PM me your addresses. It takes me a few days to get to the post office when they're open, so be patient.

I had the Ancestral yesterday. It was constructed fairly well, though the cap was a little rough. The draw was nice. The burn needed a couple of touch ups and ash fell right at an inch. The flavor was a little bitter and a little sweet, and at times was more herbal than any other cigar I've had and as I got past the halfway point the herbal flavor became more dominant. It was mild to medium body.

I can't say it is a bad cigar, I would imagine some people would like it. It's not one I would smoke again though, it just isn't my cup of tea.

Thanks Curt for sending me one.

Thanks danillo for sharing with this community.
