This Caldwell Dos Firmas with about a year and a half on it is tasting righteous tonight. Fumbled the cigar trying to get a good picture and dropped it on the table ash first.

Illusione Rothschilde while taking an evening stroll in the fog. I was surprised with the dark wrapper. The last box I had several years ago turns out was a Connecticut wrapper, this one is maduro, I like this one but think I prefer the Connecticut.
Gave my neighbor nearly half a box of these and he returned all but one saying they are too strong and too large. So I need to get to burning. Not too fond of the San Andrés wrapper but I haven't smoked one in ages so I figured what the heck! Luchador El Castigo behemoth.
*Wow, he's right. These are from 11/8/16 and still punchy as heck. Some of the pepper has smoothed out but still full bodied IMO. The typical dry dirt flavor of San Andrés has also been muted, it's a very far background thing with a nutty flavor over riding it, along with leather. It's quite pleasant actually. I suspect the huge amount of filler is also contributing to reducing the dry dirt flavor. This puppy tastes pretty darn tasty so far.
** It settled down after the first third and is a solid Medium with nuts, leather, rich tobacco, and sweet wooden notes. Very tasty. Perfect burn, easy draw, and solid ash. Quite surprised how good these turned out with some age.

Hey @CAcigarguy007 did you know that @Vision had a 40th birthday recently?
I happen to have his addy and if you would do me a huge favor and send a few of those cigars to him, I’ll be happy to send a forum fiver to you.
PM me if you’re interested, thank you.
Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.

Almost helping me forget the cowgirls embarrassment tonight...
Great idea, Michael.

New to me and out of my normal wheelhouse flavor-wise. Really enjoying the changeup courtesy of @ShawnOL

They just hit the daily deal. 70 bucks for a bundle of 20.
Completely unrelated, please smoke a bunch of black works and padron tomorrow.
I suppose I could smoke a padron, if it's really important to you.
