Tried one of these today. My Father La Lealtad. Good smoke. Being a biend of Nicaraguan and Honduran leaf, it's a step up in flavor from the Blue, which is all Honduran apart from the wrapper. Billed as a medium-full smoke, I found it to be squarely medium in strength.
Categorical Conundrum
Whenever I clip a cigar (e.g. to open the head), for both home-rolled or commercial, I allow the clippings to drop into a small, plastic tub (~1 pt.). When the tub becomes full, I dump those clippings into a small Ziploc bag, and label it with the month and year. The bag then gets added to a box that contains maybe a dozen of those little bags of pure cigar clippings.
As I awaited the delivery of a couple of bundles of cigars, I grabbed a bag of cigar clippings and my big ugly pipe. It smokes much like smoking a cigar through a plastic tip. It has the aroma of cigar, as well as the nicotine, but the taste is diminished.
I'm smoking cigarness from a pipe. The broad, textured shank of this Ropp pipe allows me to nest it comfortably between my fingers, like a cigar.
[I left the pipe on the little table out on my porch last night. This morning, the pipe bowl and shank hosted an impressive spider web.]

Good call, Bob. Was just thinking yesterday that it's a shame to throw out those clippings when you can either use them in your pipe or towards snus. I like the month and year bag label, even better. My collection of clippings starts now!Categorical Conundrum

According to the website it is Honduran and Nicaraguan leaf.
