Its my brother's fault! He tried to get me interested in cigars for several years, to the extent that he attempted to lure me in with 'illegal contraband' cigars - and I didn't appreciate it at the time. Live and learn. I bought my first cigar on 4-30-11 so I am a fully qualified "noob!"...

Here is this strange little box with "ZK 4 LIFE" written all over it. I think to myself this can't be good... or maybe it is. Matt came out swinging with both hands! Well the second box was to "ZK Llama Lover". Matt I am taken back and I think even the Squids will agree you need some RG...
