Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Last night was a SLR Marquez courtesy of Mr Icehog. Such a generous guy willing to share a great smoke with me. I'll be returning the favor soon. Thanks very much!

OpusXtasy! Gary gifted me a 2018 Connie B a while back, and it was the perfect smoke for today's hike.

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
...stearns! Ben provided not only this HUHC for my breakfast cigar, but also some dessert for my rock glass tonight. Thanks Ben!

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
I'll be honest and say I don't remember who gave them to me, but I had some friends over who were looking to get into cigars, and it was the perfect time to grab some randoms that had been passed on to me in trades/bombs to have them start with.
Thanks to this awesome community of folks, we may have gotten a couple more hooked! |

https://i.postimg.cc/N0PDWqXG/F4-CEC...66-A750-D9.jpg Two more tasty stogies from my most recent trade with Weelock - CigarFed Ctrl-Alt-Delicious - actually had this one a while ago, I recall it was quite good, spicy and powerful! Fratello Navetta Toro - this was interesting! My first time trying a Fratello, this one reminded me a little of a Le Careme, tasty!! |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Glad you enjoyed them. The Navetta I enjoy the flavors and it’s improved since ROTT but they seem to struggle with burn issues. If they burned more consistently, it would definitely be a must smoke but man, frustrating.
I’m hoping they burn better now and maybe I will dig one up tonight. Quote:

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Thursday and Friday were two great cigars from Hipi3Slay3r. I’ve smoked many a box of the Cuban Maduro but it has since fallen off my radar. Was nice revisiting this cigar. The Saka, very nice. Well constructed so 3 thumbs up.

Yeah, all of the Isabela cigars have sweetened caps, according to the owner - this is done because some cubans cigars had sweetened caps in the past. I'm not a big fan of it, but fortunately it is very light and tends to disappear after the first few puffs. |

Very good Isabela cigar. |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
….4WheelVFR! A smokestack of a Juan Lopez PC, delicious little bugger threw out more smoke than I could have ever hoped for. Thanks Ray!
https://i.imgur.com/NiEZSvj.jpg ...and Malakai! An old RASS that was better than the ones in my humidor. Thanks John! https://i.imgur.com/LFoIULY.jpg |

Also happy to hear you liked the Sabor Aganorsa...I think I got those from Atlantic and the box was dated 2016, so while that's great, I worry that's because they weren't selling much, which is a shame because it's an excellent smoke as well. |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
From 4WheelVFR a great Illusione Epernay, one of my favorites from Illusione and in my favorite size as I feel Illusione blends are really designed around the corona size IMHO. I love the other sizes as well but he really nails the corona size.

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
From 4WheelvFR and it’s been a long time since I smoked an OpusX. Such a great cigar to the nub. Think it was and hour and a half. Great!

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Awesome Dave! Glad you enjoyed it. That size has been hit or miss for me, but I'm really glad you got a hit. If the larger size I sent you smokes the same, you're in for a treat.

Personally, I think they just needed to get old enough. I remember how cheap they were, got 3 boxes. I'd smoke one here or there, and then like 5 years after I got them, they just opened up. I smoked 'em like crazy because they were a "cheap" smoke. I have a very few of my last box left. |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Another from RevSmoke!!
https://i.postimg.cc/2ymDrrcg/825272...A55-D5-F48.jpg 2002 Monte # 4 - wonderful - classic Monte & aged tobacco flavors. A big thanks to Todd for this excellent cigar. |

Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Glad you enjoyed the cigar! I found them to be quite good myself.

R&J Ex#4 (I think?) - an enormous thanks to Gabe215 for this one. Acquired from a recent trade where Gabe generously sent mostly CCs. I think he said this one was an Ex#4? I'm pretty sure the other Ex#4s I have are a bit shorter, but then none of the Ex#4s I have are burning as wonderful as this one haha. Toasty, spicy and all around great smoke, thanks Gabe!! |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
*UPDATE* I believe it was an Ex#2, which would explain my confusion. :tu

2019 CH Las Calaveras Toro - another courtesy of Weelock! At first light/first couple puffs I was thinking "okay this is sort of like the La Imperiosa..." and then at about the 4th puff the complexity flood gates opened! Great cigar, a lot of fun to smoke, thanks Weelock. :tu |
Re: I had a great cigar today thanks to......
Sorry, forgot to take a picture, but a 1st time smoke for me, Enclave Toro... From Gomeitsmybday.
Peace of the Lord be with you. |
