AJF New World Toro - after about 2 years of rest/age, these New Worlds are just amazing. Probably one of my favorite Nicaraguan blends, kind of no nonsense - just a damn fine Nica smoke! I have already purchased a replacement box to start aging in order to be able to start smoking the 2 year old box. :-)

Southern Draw Kudzu Lustrum Belicoso - another damned fine smoke! :-)

Southern Draw Jacobs Ladder Lancero - such a good smoke. I also have the Brimstone edition of this cigar and I honestly can't tell all that much of a difference, but they are both excellent. Starts off with a spicy bbq savory meat note then quickly settles down to a lightly sweet earthiness with a very pleasant lingering red pepper note. Good stuff and I suggest checking it out if that sounds like a profile you'd enjoy!

Nice!! I've loved all the different Viaje I've tried (which is only maybe a handful). I've always been curious about those Farmer Bills, I just wish they weren't so damned hard to get!

I hear you Michael, I really didn’t want to smoke but it was a special occasion so why not !!!

2019 Protocol Blue Lancero - excellent smoke! I noted the year because I recall having some younger Protocols that were a bit on the harsher side but apparently with a little time, these sticks become splendid!

Arturo Fuente King T Rosado Churchill - it had been a while since smoking any Fuente stuff so I grabbed a mix of stuff a few months ago. First time trying the King T Rosado and it's very nice...unfortunately I noticed at least 1 of the other King Ts I have is quite underfilled at the foot so I'm curious as to how that one will smoke. This one did require a few relights and it looked to be filled properly...however, at the end of the day it is quite tasty!

Nice, Michael....ever try the Queen B?

Yesterday had a '19 Las Calaveras after lunch.

No I can't say that I have! I'll definitely look in to it though, that King T was quite flavorful! Those Las Calaveras are nice smokes as well!

Today I went with...

Espinosa Laranja Oscuro Lancero - picked this one up yesterday at one of my local B&Ms, had been wanting to try the Oscuro after smoking the original Laranja a year or so ago. Nice smoke! Certainly spicier than the original...very reminiscent of the Murcielago, I wonder if they blend them similarly or use the same wrapper?

The King is Dead AJ Fernandez

Is that a different blend then the normal The king is dead?
[Reply]

From what I have read, this uses Nicaraguan tobacco and the original is Dominican/Honduran.

Casdagli Daughters of the Wind Lancero - without a doubt not an every day smoke, but decided to treat myself. Fortunately due to my thrifty coupon coding I managed to get a 5er of these more or less free from Mardo cigar. Although, free is really a matter of perspective because I spent 100s and 100s of dollars before they became "free". But yes I believe I much prefer that I got them "free". :-)

Caldwell's Pepper Cream Soda - these have become my favorite Caldwell, by far!
