I'm smoking this Edward @silvermouse style. What's the rest of my AJ la amistad gold from yesterday, sitting outside waiting on my kids and saw it sitting there in my ashtray. I have 10 minutes to kill. Thanks again @TBonz
Vegasfrank didn't nub a cigar in the first go around?
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
New to me...LFD La Volcada Churchill, a nice slight sweetness to it ( Must be the Mexican San Andres wrapper talking ) Not as strong as some LFDs out there, but still good an tasty.....
This one is extra peppery on the retro. Calmed down after the first quarter and transitions to smooth chocolate. These are getting better and better as they age and I think they will end up being great.
Me thinks they were rushed off the Joya De Nicaragua rolling floors when Villiger decided to exit the hand rolled market. I scored a bunch of these on the cheap over last summer and took a chance since they were made by JDN and they were part of the blending.
They were harsh, acrid, bitter, and burned terrible but I could taste the potential and doubled down when I found them even cheaper on blowout. My guess is that the last batch was simply rolled, boxed, and shipped. The older reviews were good with a lot of newer ones being unfavorable. I suspect those folks got the fresh off unaged stock as well. These will end up being diamonds in the rough and chocolaty delights. They have already improved dramatically and I expect that will continue in the coming months/years.
2nd Juarez today, also tunneled/canoed but not as badly, I think it is because of a not so tight bunch coupled with a slower-burning Mexican wrapper. Tasty though, a simple coffee/chocolate.

Agree with @cbuck, excellent
Probably should’ve said gran corona. How’s the draw on that bad boy?? I’ve been wondering. That things longer than the Browns loss column.

It was nubbable, but I arrived he before I finished, so I let it rest in the ashtray on my front porch.
a new-to-me Joya Copper toro from @NorCalR1 Thanks, David, eager to see if it is as good as the Silver.
Good afternoon Edward and all! Ave Maria Knights Templar! ROTT! Excellent!
It’s a beautiful day in my neighborhood
Great day to take the net out
Very toothy
Looks just like the one at the SAP center. No San Jose Shart has ever scored in it.
Thank you @NorCalR1 David! Great "forced vacation day" cigar!
Spoken like an experienced sharter

What the heck? Kicking off the three day weekend with a back-to-back.
Super shot from a Roman sampler. I'm glad you failed to smoke it for the last eight or nine years @Trident!
