Your last para is very important to a guy like me. As important as the cigar is, the community that the cigar originated from can be just as important, as important as this Cigar Bum community is. I personally would rather pay a fella I know and like the money it takes to maintain my passion than a faceless entity. It makes you a part of that small company's experience, and much more important to them than you would be to, say, General Cigar Company! Point well taken, and great review, although I've never been able to parse a smoke like you do! Bottom line, you enjoyed the cigar...and it's one I'd like to try. Thanks for taking the time.
