J&D Allure
I’m sure I met the cigar maker of J&D Cigars last year at the industry trade show. I just don’t remember. There were so many people to meet and so many cigars to taste. It was overwhelming.

Gran Habano 2010 -Grand Indeed

And, this may the first cigar where I ran out of space on my review notes...
