82144 CH Four Kicks Mule Kick 2023

82148 Aladino corojo 2020 with thanks to Palama. I'm late shift but woke up at 5, so I went digging for a good cigar before work. This is a good cigar. Nubbed that fugger. Time to go to work.

82149- Fonseca Edition MX

dangit...twitchy trigger finger punched "post" twice...too much coffee

82152 - RomaCraft CroMagnon Mode 5 (perfecto)

@ jeebs the aladino Corojo are fantastic. Haven’t had the triple maduro but I will eventually. The lancero I smoked last night was good but I won’t buy more. The Corojo is fantastic though.

Thanks Jake & Huzza, looks like CMD thinks it is fantastic as well

82164 - Original Cubans robusto

82166 Espinosa Habano with thanks to jeebling.

First light, spicy peppers, wood, astringency. Continues with typical habano notes of the same. Dry texture, little to no sweetness, short finish. I should like them, there's a lot of similarities to the corojos I love, but there's something about habanos I just can't enjoy them.

I really did not like this one at all. It's a decent dry habano, true to style, but my least favorite style. Smoked to halfway without anything i enjoyed so i tossed it. He sent 2 of these, I'm bypassing the second and moving onto the next one in line.

edit: nope next in line is Ezra Zion x 2, and I want to give those a fair go since I've talked chit about them being just another caldwell lost n found type brand without ever trying them. Don't want to have my first immediately after a cigar I didn't like. So I'll move onto the one after those - Greycliff.

82168 LA Palina KB part two. Tried a part one recently and didn't like it much, I think pt 2 is just a longer pt 1 but I'm on a roll so I thought I'd grab another potential disappointment.

First light got the weird necco wafer black licorice flavor. Retro is really harsh like habanero juice in my sinuses. Same experience as pt1. Progresses to a sharp spiciness and then settles down. Still very in your face type, nothing mellow here. Little metallic feeling on the sides of my tongue, very spicy cigar. The anise left after first ash drop. It's astringent too.

Decent cigar, but I only went to halfway. Construction was perfect but it's one of those cigars that's strong for the sake of being strong as it's primary attribute. Needs some balance. Glad those are over.

Tried lighting a Warped La Hacienda but the lack of QC over at the Aganorsa Leaf factory once again shows up to stop those plans. I'm just going to bed.

Dang. The small place was running a 24 hr sale on this brand a few days ago and I almost got some. The only ones they have are platinum tubos. I think that’s the name. And they are pricey so I chickened out. Besides I need to draw down my storage a bit. I’ve got everything over full w/o much breathing room. Gotta get my FOMO under control.

^sorry the box had so many duds in it, danm. At least there were some you haven’t tried and a couple keepers.

#82,171 - AF WOAM

Whittling down a 2013 box but they may be a bit past their prime.

Edit: I was wrong. Lotta life left. Will definitely smoke the remaining seegars sooner rather than later.

82713 - L'Atelier Extension de la Racine toro from Z. Thank you, ZRX! This was good. I looked it up online. Judging from the red band, I think this is the Racine. I really liked it.

82175: HdM Tradiciion: #5 of a box of 25: Yummy. Baking spices and cedar melded together with a slight perfume note on the lips. Wavy burn with long ash drops.

82177 Caldwell Blind Man's Bluff Chico while mowing the lawn. Guess I'm not bothered as much by these while distracted with another activity. Good choice for mowing. I don't like these.

82179 don pepin Vegas cubanas toro. Are these new or what’s going on? Look like the pepin original or jj but in green band setup. Just sparked so see how it goes

I just came across them a couple of weeks ago myself. Grabbed only one but have tried it yet.

82184 - Camacho Corojo (old band, pre 2013?)
