Still waiting on my box of Empire III. If anyone here gets the others of the six blends i.e. I, II, IV, V, or VI I would like to trade so I can try them all. I ordered my box over a month ago and it is still back ordered.

I had the same thing when I ordered the micro batches, took forever.

Nice review, buddy. And glad you enjoyed that one. Being as fresh as it was (I got them in about 2 or 3 days before I sent them to you), it sounds like they'll improve with some time. I just saw Gurkha's writeup on the Assassin and have been eyeing the Marqueza for a while now. I'd be curious to see your reviews on those as well.

I think I am going to have an Empire I tonight. I would love to get some assassins but I am saving for a box of Opus22. The marqueza was really strong. I've only had one but it was tough on me.

those are spendy, like 950 bucks, unless you found a cheaper place....

No, not cheaper unfortunately. I heard that the 2009 was supposed to go back to $750 but all evidence I have seen contradicts that.

you get more from a normal box and cheaper.

Yeah, but there are some special sizes and maduros too. We'll see. I haven't made up my mind yet. Plus, I would let them age 5 years before I ever smoked one.
