Caldwell are all good.

For myself was an HVC and friends at the hotel then home and I better be done traveling. Work is tough. I swear, if they didn’t pay me I wouldn’t do this.

Home and a fresh box of Viaje S&B Camo. Not as good as last years but maybe they need some rest.

Tabacos El Triunfador petite whatever. (I'm bad on remembering size names.) Laid in several for short duration smokes. Thirty-Forty minutes of tasty.

Tom's love of taco's inspired me today.
1st up - breakfast taco - sumatra (strong little bomb) Only a couple of weeks rest, I'd like to see how these age.
2nd - street taco - carnitas (mild,super smooth and easy smoking. Grew up to medium by the end of the stick) - excellent ROTT
3rd - street taco - barbacoa (right strength and great wrapper) - for sure can see why these are popular and I suspect will get even better with a little age.

I should have changed the order to 2,3,1 IMO, but all were very good and very different.

I liked the Barbaco best and snagged 2 more boxes at famous. On sale 30% off is a no brainer. Made sure to check out before posting this so you guys dont buy em out. LOL

Keep seeing these mentioned recently. I've been trying to get through some of my stash over the past few years so I haven't been keeping up on the "newer" cigars. Might have to give these a look. Thanks for the mini reviews.

DE Undercrown robusto last night while having a bonfire. The weather was so nice I couldn't resist having a fire. Always nice when 40 degrees feels like 70 after a long winter.

They're a newish brand. They have a Habano, Oscuro, Corojo, and some limited releases of which I've only tried one...The Jolly Walleye. All have been really good, but the Jolly Walleye is a big standout. A very unique blend that you don't come across often. The Corojo was very good too. The Habano and Oscuro offering more typical flavors/aromas. Yada yada yada....If SB still has Jolly Walleye's I'd grab some. You will not be disappointed, and if you are I'll gladly buy them from you.:tu

Thanks Matt. The Walleye sounds right up my alley; I'm going to take a look at SB now. Corojo may be an option for me as well.

Went with a VR Don Alejandro and a H Upmann Sir Winston this weekend.....both '14 or '15 I think and great smokes. They kinda make me sad every time I smoke one though because I know I won't be buying anymore. Don't think DA's are around anymore and I can't afford Sir Winnies these days lol.

I know exactly what you are feeling. Several years ago I, through my own fault, lost all of my old stock that I had been saving, in some cases, for over a decade. Stuff that I'll never see again.

I had to start back over from scratch. I'm my collection more manageable, but still I've managed to collect a few extra tasty, no longer produced sticks.

It is sometimes a really hard decision to punch one of those knowing that it'll be the last time I get to taste it.

Finished off my night with an AF 858 Rosado sun grown. 858 SG's are a pretty reliable stick for me. They never knock my socks off, but every single one I've ever had has been a good smoke.

Haven't smoked an 858 in quite a while. But in all the years I can't remember getting a bad one.

Not always the case with sticks that cost 2-3 times as much.
