I'll have you know, in the Australian contingent in Cuba, I am the "Token Asian"!

Not sure what's in them, but they are absolutely gorgeous and smell like instant cocoa in a tobacco pouch.  Must try each soon to see if I stock up while available.

I had the same plan as you as soon as I read about Alex’s current venture in this thread, but I’m a few steps further in that I’ve done the sampling and immediately went back to stock up...they’re damn good! Very unlikely to be Cuban leaf, but I have to say that I immediately noticed some similarities in their unique taste profile with the Cuban Alex that @madandana gifted me several years back. I’m impressed, and can’t wait to see how they age.

I also really enjoyed the ones I’ve tried from my sample order, and I’ll be stocking up when my cigar budget allows. I’ve got no experience with any verifiable Cubans from Alex so I can’t compare but that’s good to hear you see some similarities. They’re tasty cigars

I've had the opportunity to smoke with Alex 3 different days here in SoCal recently at 3 different residences including twice at our annual "Fall Classic" herf. One time his girlfriend/wife Kathy from the shop was with him.  He said he'll be in the US for a couple months and plans to return to Hotel Commodoro after that.  We will see if that actually happens.  He will be promoting his Nicaguaran cigars at some different shops in the US and will definitely be visiting NYC.

They don't taste like it to me, but they're solid sticks regardless of the origin.
