Second one of these. Was very tight once again and I had to ream it out with my draw poker. Funky burn again and have to draw hard to get smoke. Going to put a few away naked for a few weeks hoping these were just shipped extremely wet. Irritating.
*Burn improved dramatically after the first third and eventually self corrected. This definitely leads me to believe they are a bit wet. Great flavors going now (the sweet leather is my favorite) and tastes rich and delicious. Really enjoying it now.

Frank style, literally ROTT. Box date indicates that these were rolled less than three months ago also, very fresh. Hasn't even seen the inside of my humidor. Wow, off to the races! That crazy initial blast! Let the adventure begin!
*And just like last time, right at the quarter mark, Boom! Chocolate and coffee cascade shows up! Such a great transition. The crazy start really helps you to appreciate the transition. AJ killed it with this blend.
**I was so excited to try these again that I skipped lunch and that was probably a bad idea 😅. Tasting so delicious but it may put me on my arse before I even get to the halfway point. Haven't felt this green in about 10 years..lol.
***Passing the halfway point hands a bit shaky and stomach in a twist 😳 but that buttery sweet popcorn/honey biscuit flavor mixed with sweet leather shows up and man is it delicious!
****On to the final fourth and I have to call uncle. What a stupendous cigar. Easily my favorite cigar in 2020. Solid 97 in my book and certainly my favorite AJ blend to date and I've smoked nearly all of them. Time to get some food and recover from that most glorious flavor smackdown. Happy Friday everyone!

I once saw a guy throw up from smoking one of those. He had it half gone in about 20 minutes. He didn't smoke for the rest of the golf trip lol
A San Miguel Toro dated 2012 from @Vision. This is from before CI rebranded the remaining stock with the Gurkha band because of copyright infringement. Thanks, Peter! No offense to the Gurkha-haters, but it is smooth, tasty, and didn't explode.
Just finished installing a Ring Floodlight and door bell in some nice 34 degree weather here Time to warm up and kick back. Hope you are all having a great Saturday!

Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
First one of these, feel like I've been missing out. How come y'all never told me Tats were good...
I tried to fire up a Partagas corona senior and it was so plugged it wouldn’t light. Even after using the draw tool. Fvcker was packed!
It’s amazing what some time in an appropriately humid humidor can do. Not a terrible budget smoke.

This is my first CroMagnon Knuckle Dragger. Probably a little strong for a pre-dinner smoke 😂
Thanks to @Vision not ROTT pass.
In memory of my father who would have been 87 today. Missing you pop.
Montecristo Relentless UPDATE: I have not been a huge fan of the few Montecristos I’ve smoked, but I must say this Relentless is excellent.
Thanks @bert873

Something a little lighter than a punch diablo. Sucks less than a broken siphon...

That is the longest 6 legged dog I’ve ever seen!!
Haha!! That’s great, had to do a double take. They are a rare breed.
DE Herrera Esteli Inktome, excellent.
While out stomped around the woods.....The batman didn't disappoint.
My last cigar before my wife kills me. Might as well make it a good one
Unexpectedly beautiful day here in Mass, enjoying it with a delicious stick from @EgoBoundary, thanks Ernest have to pick up a few after this
