Nick, “officially” what does the S&R stand for do you know? And how does this blend compare and rate against many of their other releases? Thanks for your time and knowledge.
I love them because they are so different from the other offerings. Uses a Sumatra wrapper.

I have liked the Sumatra stuff I have had with Tat, if I get the chance to track some down I will. Thanks for the info and suggestion Nick. Each cigar may not fit everyone’s tastes but it’s worth trying at least. Hope you are doing a-ok and not getting too much weather down there, not sure if you’re going to see any increase with the hurricane, Sunni if you’re too far out or not.

From @Rolanddeschain Thanks Dave. Is there someone out there that can tell me what Viaje this is? It was super! Sorry if it’s hard to see from poor lighting.
Morning Brett, I found those ^ pretty good for a short filler, short smoke. Drinking the last of my Nicaraguan before starting the lb. of Rwandan from @peter4jc. I roasted it a little darker than usual and looking forward to seeing how it compares to the city roast I usually shoot for with African beans.
About to fire up one of my favorites, a Kristoff Corojo Limitada Matador (6.5x56).

I really have been enjoying them, thank you again for sending so many smaller smokes to enjoy for times like that they have worked out great and I’ve enjoyed how they smoked and tasted so far. I got one that wouldn’t produce any smoke even though it was lit and burning but there was a big crack on the wrapper and I assume it was sucking air from there. But it was no big deal to pitch it and light another so I was good with it. Overall been great, thank you 😊

@Sketch6995 Sorry to see that on the EE. How was the Las Calaveras? It’s the only one I haven’t tried due to poor reviews. Figured maybe they need some aging.

I like them quite a bit. They show up on the DD from time to time at a really great price.

Wasn't that a '17, Sketch? I think the '18's have green on the bands.
Morning WaterNerd, Sketch, back from hauling trash/recycling to the transfer station, hauling back compost/dirt for the lawn reseeding project (once Florence makes it's u-turn over us Tuesday). Sure do love my station wagon, best compromise of all designs in my opinion.
edit: oh, I forgot this is a cigar thread-- about to fire up a JSK Toothpicks 2.0 robusto and hang the second load of laundry.
edit 2: and it gets the cbuck rating level of 'nice'.
Have time for one more this morning so I broke this guy out, purchased April 2012. Had a damaged cap that I had repaired but so far no issues whatsoever even after the cut with my Xikar, the pectin held it together.
6 years has really mellowed this out and the broadleaf is superb. Still has enough strength and pepper to be interesting and engaging but it doesn’t overshadow the core flavors of chocolate, cream, leather, nuts and a hint on the finish of cedar. Great cigar and really enjoying it.

He (Skel) was around for about a year, a couple years ago, then disappeared. His name was Shane and he lived in northern MN.

Pretty tasty, not bad at all. Not box worthy but decent smoke.

EDIT: Really mellowed out and became very rich and full at the halfway point. My support a vet shirt and a great cigar.
