La Aurora Preferidos Cameroon No. 2 from 2017 IIRC, coffee black. Good Morning all.
I dug this out of the Winedor to smoke last night but never got to it. Too tired, I guess. Being a Cameroon I'm glad I unintentionally dry boxed it and smoked it as a morning cigar.

Needed a shorter smoke this morning, been eyeballing this Ezra Zion Tantrum from @NorCalR1. Excellent so far, solid burn line, flavors/strenght ramping up a little to med+. Thanks Dave.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

Often overlooked Ezra’s core line is a solid cigar and aged nicely. Glad you enjoyed it!
If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience
If you are a newbie I got Dem nachos....
On the advice of a dear friend, I'm going to try to get outside more and figure out that there's more to li............Nahhhh... I'm just going to smoke this case study instead!
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.
Another from a freebie sampler. Was rolled too tight and I had to take the drill bit to it. Would have simply tossed it but it's my only one. Tasting good so far and you really can taste the under fermentation of the wrapper, adds a bit of boldness, although, I'm not sure that's the way to add boldness to your blend, to be quite honest.
I suspect the La Aurora black lion Maduro wrappers are also a bit under fermented as well because I get similar flavors. Seems more of a shortcut for a cheaper cigar than a pathway for a quality blend. Though, I will admit that it works and I'm enjoying it thus far.
I suspect, much like the La Aurora black lion Maduro, flavor changes will be nuanced, rather than complex shifts, due to these types of wrapper profiles being difficult to overcome with filler blend. Sometimes a pony that does a few tricks well isn't always a bad thing. Really enjoying it at this point actually.
Small change in the middle as the cigar gets a bit more mellow, adding a creamy component to the mix, while the base flavors remain unchanged, though they do intermingle a bit. Solid medium body with enough flavor to keep it interesting throughout. A good value for the sale price these can be found for. Problem is you can step up to $4 and get a much better cigar IMO. At under $3 it would be a great deal.
