Re: LONSDALE love!
I've been smoking on a '17 box and they've been fantastic. So good, in fact, that I decided to pay an exorbitant sum for 2 more boxes. Got lucky with the box dates. 2019.

Davidoff Winston Churchill traveler

I'd never had a DWC before, so I threw one of these in on a C-Bid 'buy it now'.

Re: Fonseca by My Father Cosacos
Too many bad experiences. Some bad construction, but mostly with underfermented tobacco. The last straw was a box of Tatuaje that still tasted like ammonia after 5 years in the humidor.
