JFRs in smaller packages.

Thanks again Matt for letting me grab a sampler of these (it arrived surprisingly fast and in excellent condition--I guess I'm kind of used to the clusterf*ck that is UPS instead of FedEx).

I was originally planning to let these rest a bit before lighting them up, but they seemed to be in a pretty decent shape as far as moisture in concerned so I lit them up last night (no draw/burn problems and the flavor doesn't have that harsh, bitterness that's usual for overly wet cigars).

Right now, it looks like I'm leaning towards the Corojo over the Maduro. Not too spicy, but just enough pop to make you notice. Although, my wife's comment upon seeing the Maduro made me laugh: "That looks like something the dog would leave behind in the backyard and what's with the goofy knot on the top?"

Silound: Thank you for the offer. But I still have a few Omars left over and I'm planning to see what they're like after a few months before passing judgement over them. I'm just a bit leery since it took my tongue a good three days to recover from the last couple. And to be honest, there are so many other cigars in my humidor that I want to taste test, it may be a bit more than a few months before I get around to another Omar.
