Just thought I'd add a story.
Many years ago I went to a cigar event, I think it was a Big Smoke, and I received an acid cigar. I had never heard of them and put it with the rest of my cigars. Needless to say it ruined about 50 nice cigars. I threw then all out and hated DE for not letting me know. Then I smoked a natural a few years later and thought, this isn't bad. Then the Liga line rolled around and I fell in love. Then Isy introduced me to Marvin Samel and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. I since have hung out with Marvin a few times and even sat with him at a wedding and had rats afterward, thanks Marvin. He forgot his tie and didn't like any that I brought for him, but that's a different story. Now with the way JD has handled everything here on CP, I say these guys are the standard of class in this industry. I always purchase Rats and Pigs, when they are available, and can't wait to get some more Ratzilla's. Smoke what you like, but at least try something from DE.
