The weekend was nice (though runoff is here, so the fishing sucked). I
never did get to the Esperanza. The Selects just don't compare.
Defintiely an apples to oranges thing.
I may try again another time.

Nice to see another Zimmerman on-board/back-on whichever the case may
be.

I was a big fan of the old line and keep hoping it will return someday,
I guess I'm still waiting.

Some of the newer Camacho special cigars remind me of those. However
I think the Camacho corojo churchill is a better flavor bang for the
buck.

Yes. Two boxes. Robustos and Toros. Both have over a 1/2 a box left. I
tried one, and it was a tad dry....the boxes are varnished, and I stored
them with the lid closed. I'm rehydrating them now, and will let you
know how they are in a couple days.
