Thanks for the information and insight W. Ran across a tremendous range in premiums for the maduro, from none to about double as you suggest. The Cbid thread has the same issues compounded with an inaccurate picture of the sticks, there is one explicitly indicated as a maduro today with the same images... As always, buyer beware, nOOb even more so!

On the other hand, I did enjoy the local Hemingway I located at a reasonable price. Probably doesn't matter if it is wrapped in burlap

Cheers,

Rusty
