Thank you all if prayers can heal she will be great. I wish I could say she was better but at least she isn't worse. If they could just get her stable for 24 hours I think my heart might relax for a moment. It is just so devastating not having control and being helpless to fix the situation

We are not out of ICU but we have crested the mountain and are headed down hill. I have never know these emotions I felt over the last few weeks and I didn't like them at all but when my Rose gave me a kiss and told me she loved me after waking up from that horrible long sleep I melted in a euphoria that was indescribable. It sure changes ones view on life. Thank you all for the prayers we needed every single one to get through this

Hey, you must be the contest winner. Congratulations. What was your entry?

 

[USHOG]

Silver river was his entry and it was a very good stand alone smoke. I hope you enjoy I also included a filthy hooligan for the 17th

Hey, you must be the contest winner. Congratulations. What was your entry?

Silver river. And at least one of these has your name on it next time we get together. After all, even the best cigar is only mediocre, without good company to enjoy it with.

 

[DGBAMA]

I must say Thank You, Again, this is a great thing.

Crown and sweet n low.

 

[USHOG]

I am glad they arrived safely. Enjoy my brother

Was the cigar made entirely of silver river ?

I grew a good size patch last year that will turn out about 50 plus pounds . Some of it was rained on and took up some mud .
I know it makes a interesting cigarette mix .

 

[USHOG]

I used the same wrapper on all the cigarillos that I sampled but the filler was all SR. I received some samples already shredded so it wasn't a puro but as close as I could get it. I also smoked these in my pipe for comparison and the SR just was awesome. I just hope I can grow it as good as DGBAMA

I would say the easiest curing variety I have grown, with yellow twist bud a close second.

Did you taste any menthol? Some folks report that the variety has a bit of a menthol taste and aroma. It kinda turned me off to growing it.

 

[Jitterbugdude]

My turn... these arrived today! Very nice! Thank You Mr. USHOG

 

[USHOG]

Enjoy my brother

No I didn't get any menthol from SR. I am no good at naming tastes but it was very good to me both as a cigarillo and in the pipe a very different powerful flavor. It will be very fun to blend with. I can not wait until mine is ready to roll.

 

[BigBonner]

I rolled a few cigarettes with silver river and I thought it was more like mixing a Havana in the blend . It is not a menthol , not harsh . It reminds me a little of a camel cig .
