| why not a cigar review on BoB, i'm a member of a couple cigar forums and post reviews on a few of them from time to time. this review was from a few weeks ago. Ramon Allones Gigantes SVX sep.'05 7 x 49 this was a fantastic cigar, started off great and only got better. first few inches or so there was a salty taste that i'm not use to with r.allones cigars, earth/dirt and black pepper that hits you on the back of your tongue. medium to full in strength with a spicy finish. 2nd half the cigars spiciness mellowed, some hint's of wood and a little bit of sweetness maybe something fruity, but i cant pick out the flavor, still full in strength past the band, medium finish.. perfect draw, ashes held close to "2 inches, cigar never got hot or needed a touch up. 9.5/10       |

| Great Review. Loved the pics too. Thanks for posting them. It makes me want to get a couple of them and put them in the humidor. Put a little age on them for at least 6 months then fire one up. |

| Great review!!!! I wish I could get my hands on some Cubans. They are hard to come by in my neck of the woods. |

| Very nice review. I haven't had the privalige to try this ISOM. Actually I haven't smoked very many ISOM's at all.
I've heard that it's a taking a pretty big risk trying to buy these. Can you PM me with some ideas?
Thanks, Lucky |

| Nice review indeed. I suppose we should start some of these for those of us who light up the sticks ( and maybe we'll tempt some of those here too) David |
