I don't personally pay much attention to the variances in humidity. Maybe you just are seeing what mass-produced smokes are like...

Totally agree with the Jakester. Delta sent one as part of his Grand Nephew baby contest in 2019 but I waited till 2022 to spark it up. It was FAN-F#*KIN’-TAB-ULOUS! Totally wanted to kick myself in the arse for waiting so long. I missed out on a super duper deal on them and still have Non-Buyer’s Remorse for screwing that up. I did manage to get some on a good (…but not close to being super duper…) deal and so far those have been good.

I guess the only caveat is that while the blend is the same, the tobaccos won’t be so dunno if newer rolled smokes are gonna be the same or close to the old ones. Of course ymmv.

81494 - San Cristobal Supremo Toro

I bought a box a little over a year ago and tried one a couple weeks after it arrived and I really wasn't impressed and kind of bummed I bought a whole box of 22. They come in boxes of 24 now. I don't remember what about the taste but I didn't like it. So I pushed it to the back and forgot about my mistake. Today while rearranging my stock I found the box and gave it another try. Fantastic! This cigar is delicious! Top rating, perfect draw, burn, taste, and easy band removal. Definitely box worthy but let them sit a while.

Here's what AI had to say about them:

81496 casa cuba divine inspiration or “toro” 2019 from palama. This is very good sir thank you love it

I ordered a fiver today. Not even on sale, just ordered one. I feel bad for ruining the one JTS sent me.

And I threw my hygrometer sensor in there. I usually keep it in the desktop, cause that's where I usually smoke from. Take singles from bulk storage whether it be the case of boxes or the case of singles, and refill the desktop. The bulk storage cases have been so rock solid for ages I don't worry about them just a visual check on the beads and bovedas is sufficient. The beads were clear and the bovedas as fat as your mom. Sensor after a full day in the singles case is reading 70%. Guess loading up on huge fivers orders did ruin it. Hopped on Amazon and bought a 3 sensor thermopro set so I can have one in bulk singles and one in each box storage. Won't matter once I'm full and stuff, but at least will be able to keep an eye on it while I'm still in hoarding mode.

81498 - Southern Draw Manzanita

Hell danm could’ve been a dud but those have all been good with good feedback so hopefully the ones you get will be fantastic

Glad you enjoyed it Jake.

Iirc, these were part of the 3rd release but feel they’re at their peak now.

Damn! Sub $6 back-in-the-day!

81503 - Camacho Triple Maduro robusto

81505 CH Las Calaveras 2023

You must be talking about the $50 boxes of 10 that were "on sale" like a year or two ago???
You are not alone in your remorse Conan. I really screwed that one up too.

81508: Oliva Nica Libre BP little Robusto or Petite Corona, not sure
My first time on this blend. I’ll hold off trying to review it but I will say that the first inch stayed cherry red and would not ash. I even tried to roll it off but it just stayed there, cherry red and just kept on burning. It was like the Abraham looking at the burning bush that would not be consumed by the flames. After about 15 minutes I tossed it in the ashtray. I will try another one later.

Exactamundo!

^ the toro really shines in those in my opinion. Gonna smoke one soon

^tJgraz, Jake thanks, I’ve got more but I’ll put them away for a little while longer
81514: Macanudo Gold Robusto
A lot of flavor for a mild cigar. Love that slightly lemon balm, pepper and leather mix in the flavor.

Overall, I've been disappointed with the average quality of construction for cigars coming out of My Father cigar factories for the last year. No one else has complained, so I thought it was just me.

Some are well made, but too many problems IMO.

81516 - Padron 4K NT

81518 dunbarton red meat lovers “fillet” romusto from Z just sparking it up but I like it a lot. Will let y’all know what I think later

81520- Oliva Serie V Melanio No. 4

That IS a dumb name. I'm thinking about maybe making a graph of the relationship between the pretentiousness of the name of the vitola and the cost of a cigar. I think I've detected a pattern.

And I haven't heard that song in a loooong time.

#81,525 - Illusione Haut 10 Toro

Inspired by Danm. Second one from a 10er I got last February.

81528: AVO Classic No. 3. Beautiful cigar, the veins contrast the wrapper reminiscent of the Painted Wall in the Black Canyon NP. Cold draw reveals a very earthy flavor with soft pepper. Upon lighting, thick billows of white smoke. Earthy, soft pepper and just an appropriate hint of that DR minerality. Always have a few singles of this old, classic vitola. First of three from last year. First third has the earth and pepper mixing into a warm, leathery deliciousness. Ash drops are surprisingly short, otherwise a truly celebratory cigar for the significance of Good Friday. Second third continues with the rich billows of smoke and a touch more soft pepper with a less leather and no real Connie wrapper flavors due to the Ecudorian, not American, wrapper. Final third has my palate thinking this might be a CC with all the flavors rolling into that indescribable yet unique deliciousness with a final 2" ash. 2 hours of bliss and worthy of being in the humi.

My fault, thank you, Palama.
