Cigar Federation Mexican Hot Chocolate - spectacular cigar, never disappoints! Going well with the spicy rye whiskey I'm imbibing this evening. :-)

Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano Toro - packed full of body and flavor, this one seems to fly under most folks radar. If you like a strong cigar, absolutely pick up a 5er of these!

L'Atlier LAT 5....6? No maybe 52...I forget!

Smoked that funky cold Medina this morning...I'd seen some folks whose preferences seem to align with mine smoke the LATs quite often so decided to give them a spin.
It was nice, immensely creamy, in fact probably one of the creamiest cigars I've smoked, but otherwise the profile left me rather underwhelmed. Still a nice cigar, undoubtedly, but I don't see myself going out of my way to get more. I still have 4 left though, so maybe my initial impression could be swayed.

CAO La Traviata Maduro Corona - can't decide which one I like more between this and the Habano, they are both excellent cigars.

Joya De Nicaragua Tor...Robust....Robusoro?

Picked up 10 of these about a year ago after reading a lot about them....they definitely have an interesting history and there are clearly many fans of this cigar...buuuut i don't think I'm among them. I do, however, like the strength, and at times I can appreciate *some* of the notes in the profile, but overall it maintains a floral-sweetness that is rather off-putting to me.
Would I smoke one if it were offered to me?
Sure....
Would I buy and age a box?
Nopery dokery :-)

Just finished the one you sent me Michael! Thanks so much!! Ash lasted half the stick! It was good enjoyed the strength but I think I agree with you on id smoke more but not a box. For me it was okay first third and half way through the second it got a good notch in flavor which brought up my ranking on it and lasted through the last third! Thanks again! Lasted a hour and 45 minutes or so.

I like the Antano, but I wish it were more consistent. I've had some that are excellent and more than a few that were meh. I did order some new Antano CT's though, so I hope those are good.

Oh good, I'm glad you got around to checking it out! And yeah I agree the last 1/2 is superior to the beginning of the cigar...
