    Hey @Trident , I’m not on the A list, how about sending an interloper an invitation?

    Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.

    Tonight's blind smoke. 6" x 54 Toro

    The cigar is a La Palina Kill Bill part four
    Jamie Rodriguez and Raymond Pages are the guests
    Raymond is the blender and owns the factory that makes them.
    70% of Raymond's cigars have Ometepe tobacco
    Working on a labor intensive Lancero Extra Penn Standard 9" x 42 which should come out in June. Their roller pairs can only roll about 100 a day of this vitola.

    The date for June is still being confirmed. It'll either be the 13th or the 6th, sounds like.

    It's in the 70's here so mine is smoking beautifully, but I'm taking Frank's picture, his blew up a bit because it's 104 F there for him.

    Didn't he just say last week that he wasn't making lanceros?

    Thanks Chris. I missed a chunk in the middle of the conversation so I could take a work call.

    He also mentioned that they'd be selling fresh backs, fivers of cigars in Boveda bags.

    Fresh Packs, not Fresh Backs, that makes no sense.

    Next Blind Smoke is 7/11, sounds lucky.

    Tonight's Blind Tasting

    Guest is Christian Eiroa, it's a light mild - medium cigar with creamy leather and baking spice notes. It's 94 F here which I believe is causing some wrapper issues, but it is still smokable.
    The cigar is the CLE Habano

    Be careful cutting, wrapper tears easily.

    Wrapper started unraveling when I cut it and I'm not the only one to experience this. Glued the wrapper back down with some Chap Stick.
    Guest is Andy, more flavor in the retrohale than in the draw. Getting sweet pencil shaving notes and then some herbal/menthol notes came forth.
    Company is Villiger, it's a Dominican cigar with a MSA wrapper. Starting to get some licorice notes now. the cigar is a Villiger Cuellar Black Forest.

    Who won the raffle?

    A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

    It wasn't one of us, it was a couple other regular members of the L&L Monthly Blind Smoke who aren't on the forum.
