Most assuredly, kind sir. I plan to torch one the first really nice day that comes along.
Stay tuned.... 👍👴🏻
You're in luck! Today is going to be fantastic! Get your lighter out!
Already 74* in Los Gatos and still climbing
Yup. 70 here and climbing. Thought about heading to the beach or Fisherman's wharf to enjoy it without the usual tourist crowds. May end up doing that tomorrow. Been so nice and enjoyable out this week.
These misteriosos are so good I decided to get some more. Cfed has so much creative writing that you can never tell, but if you like heavy broadleaf, this is the smoke for you

I took your advice and took my gear (lighter included, natch) outside. It was lovely, so I lit up an AVO 2019 LE box press toro - one of the two I received from Allan @WaterNerd recently.
It was a good smoke but not a great smoke. I was a bit underwhelmed, frankly. I mean, AVO and Kelner almost guarantee a super smoke but, to be honest, the Farce by Room 101 that I smoked yesterday had better flavor, a better burn, and just fit my flavor profile better than today’s selection.
I’ll wait a few days and try the other LE for comparison.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of their new branding. I spoke to one of their reps at an event a few years ago and they were hyping up the new branding, I told him it sucked and I liked the old branding. I think they want to appeal to a younger audience.
I do like the Sumatra wrapper on those #1s though.

Yes, The contemporary styling gives a connotation of 'mass produced' rather than 'hand made' which the olde style band suggested. Not a smart move in my opinion.
First purchase from the page, and was surprised to see there was no humi pack. The box was also opened (thanks UPS), so it’s possible it may have fallen out? Is no humi pack typical for cigar.com?

Wow, @Stubble hit me with a serious bomb, with some delicious York patties! Almost all are new to me. Thanks Steve!

Where is the "Go **** yourself" button. It is not 74 here although for this time of year it's really not bad, but still, go **** yourself @NorCalR1.

Those are some top choices in that there bomb! Quite a haul! Literally all top notch smokes. Stubble has good taste👍.

I see you've been paying attention to @IndustMech's sig line.

Jimmy's end of our trade made it today. Can't wait to dig into a box pressed RML. Thanks @JGruvey!!

Yes it is. If you want bovedas, buy from small batch....oh but wait you're in california. Nevermind.
These were from SB
Does small batch not ship to CA? ..I will place an order purely out of spite.
