82541 Caldwell Long Live the King Mad Mofo.

Takes a long time to mow my yard so I went for a second. Even as a yard gar, this one wasn't good.

82542: Dominican Cream Churchill (7.0"x50) w/thanks to Jake

Medium brown, consistent firmness, small well distributed veins, barnyard / sweet barnyard, tiny crack 2” from slightly flaky foot, presented no probs. Cold draw sweet tobacco. Kickoff creamy and sweet. The sweetness not strong but was like white sugar. Hints of vanilla on occasional draws. Ash drops about every inch. Same until final third when I hit a bitter portion at transition. That only lasted an inch, then a couple sweet draws then flavor collapsed to nothing. Not very creamy but a mellow sweet smoke with generous draw and immaculate burn line. Much better than many cigars that cost much more. Thank you, Jake for an enjoyable cigar.

82548 Rocky Patel DBS from darklord trade.

Fantastic cigar. I want more but they're too expensive. Double broadleaf binder with MSA wrapper had me worried. But it's balanced perfectly. Smoke production like a ligma private. Spicey but equally sweet. Earthy but not filthy. If I find these for $10-12 I'll grab a fiver.

82540 Lunatic

The first thing that caught my attention was that the foot smelled of chewing tobacco, I'm southern and know what chewing tobacco. The construction is first class with no leaks. The first draw had the taste of grass. It picked up an earthy flavor. The last third is truly full flavor and strong. I advise not to attempt on an empty stomach. I smoke full cigars daily and I was glad I'd just ate.

Final thoughts. This cigar has potential to become great if it will respond to aging. Time should meld the flavor, smooth the smoke and remove the slight amonnia from it.

82556 Espinosa Laranja Escuro.

Starts off dry, woody, and the other things I hate. After just a half inch this has one of the most distinct dark chocolate covered coffee bean flavors I've had in a cigar. It's still astringent and I'm not loving it but it's very distinct flavor. Very strong pepper on retro. Eye watering. I'm also dehydrating habaneros in the garage 10ft from my recliner, may contribute to the eye irritation. It wasn't bad, maybe decent. Definitely not my ham. Tossed halfway.

I could see it being a lot more something I'd enjoy with some age on it. It was in a free sampler from tenski with $100 purchase. I think I have one more. I'll let it sleep

Yup, a real shame that the selection variety has narrowed so much in the last few years. Once upon a time you could get some good deals on upper end smokes but MAP effectively killed that. The well-known site was also a great alternative and I truly miss those days of getting Fuente 8-5-8 Maduros, Tat Brown Label Reservas and PAM 64 Principes and Coronas for well under list price.

82564: Oliva Connie Reserve Churchill thanks to Jake
Wasn’t expecting much because I haven’t had the best luck w/Oliva. Never tried this blend. This was a good cigar. The cello was yellow so this one must have had plenty of rest. It was mellow first third, medium second third, back to mellow in last third with slightly different profile. Beautiful wrapper and construction w/lots of smoke. Nutty with a slight tasty sour lining. Final third had occasional hits of mild anise, not enough to put it off for me. Final third also showed occasional hits of mineral and salt. Cool smoker all the way. Just a small edge of molasses mixed w/minerals, not on every draw, not overwhelming. Installing patented Tele-nubber. This was a good smoke and when I need to stock up on Connie I would buy a fiver for the mix. Thank you, Jake.

82565 Nub Cameroon 4x60

First nub I've ever tried. Hardly any smell or taste prelighting. Construction at first glance. From the first puff this cigar is very mild giving the African Cameroon wrapper the chance to shine. The newer Cameroons blends overpower what a great wrappers they really are. As you smoke it the spice builds but doesn't get overwhelming. This was a very enjoyable surprising smoke. Again this is one I'm going to look forward to with a years aging. Will recommend to anyone that enjoys Cameroon wrappers. You won't be disappointed.

82566 Dumbarton Stillwell Star English no27.

I love cigars and I love English blends when I smoke a pipe. Dunno how the combination will go.

Starts off fairly mild, goes medium quickly but with a smokey English pipe tobacco in there. Not overpowering. Wonderful rich creamy texture. I like it. Don't know that I'll buy more but I enjoyed this one. Seems like I could replicate the experience by smoking a Sobremesa and a cob of Nightcap simultaneously. When I'm into smoking pipes I don't touch cigars and vice versa. Somehow this is a good bridge between the two worlds.

82568 Dumbarton Red Meat Lovers porterhouse.

Boring one note cigar. It's a good note but I expect more from a $10 cigar. Flavors similar to a RP Decade.

82570: Olivia Master Blend 3 Churchill. I've tried this in several shapes and was never impressed by them. This one has had a black pepper smell to it. Upon lighting I got some green veggitive, I know I made that word up but nothing else fit, flavor. It morphed into a more tobacco taste and continued to to bloom. The last third picked up a heavier peppery flavor. Overall this is the best of the Master Blends. I don't know for sure but it feels like it's changed since the sale or if it was just this shape but it is a large difference. I've got some put up for aging and will republish when I crack em out. If you haven't tried these lately I recommend giving them another try.

82575:

Started the morning off with a different cigar. I grabbed a San Lotano Oval Connecticut Toro. The one that I picked came from a 5-pack I just received. I don't know if it was the plastic wrapping but this one looked rough. It was not up to the standards that I've come to expect from AJF. At least the construction was solid with no leaks. The smell of the light scent of curing tobacco. I used V-cut as I like it on smaller cigars. The first draw had a light resistance to it. Upon lighting the first puffs were a delight. Mild and tongue tingling. Being an Ecuadorian shade made it a little bit stronger than I like for the first cigar of the day. Aside from that I really liked the cigar. It had a good quality tobacco flavor with a pepper chaser. All-in-all I think these really show the talent of AJF. I really like the Ovals as a shape. If you're an AJ fan this will be worthy of a try. It's also one of the higher scorers for him.

Big pepper to start. Eye watering. Settles down a bit and more spices play in. Nice sweet nutty character, creamy texture and sweet finish. Excellent cigar.

Is this the 2023 release?

Iffin’ so, I’ve been meaning to get some before they evaporate. The 2018 and 2019 releases ended being GREAT smokes after a few years of nap time but didn’t get any 2020 or 2021’s so completely franked up. Made slight amends with last years release but those two missing years still haunt me.
