Smoked a couple of good cigars tonight, both with Mexican San Andres wrappers (though not on purpose, my likes and buying habits just tend in that direction.
First up was the La Galera 80th Anniversary El Lector 2016 which celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Tabacalara Palma factory. It's a 6" x 52 Toro with a Mexican San Andres wrapper, DR Corojo binder, and DR Piloto Cubano, Criollo 98, and Olor filler. Strong in flavor, especially in the first thrid, billed as med-full but I did start to get hicups during the smoke so I'd say it's pretty strong there too. Good burn and the flavors transition well and mellow at the end. I picked up a couple of these at my local, La Palma acquired IndianHead Cigar and came out with the La Galera line as the premium cigar offering. I paired this with water.
Last I smoked a BLTC Color Project Miserioso, a 5.25" x 52 Robusto with Mexican San Andres wrapper and Medio Tiempo filler. This cigar gave me sweet cedar notes with a nice cream, had some trouble with the burn line requiring touch-ups, may need to rest a bit longer. Not quite as strong as the La Galera, but quite good. Paired with water.
No pictures were captured and I smoked these outside on the patio under the heater.

Velvet Rat by Drew Estate, paired with Lagavulin 16 yr old scotch last night, had 18yr Glenlivet with Hemingway Classic the night before. I love it when the family pays attention to what you want for Christmas!
