Not the best pictures, but that's my phone.
Dave, Weelok fulfilled a MAW for me back in June. Just smoked the "Black Label Trading Co. Bishops Blend 2019 (I think) Corona Larga.

Must admit, I loved the name. The 2 bands are certainly unique. Loved the rustic, dark maduro wrapper. As I wasn't smoking this to review, just to enjoy, I did not do my normal due diligence in paying attention to all the details. I will say this though, I did stop at one point and ask myself, "that is a strange flavor that sits there in the background?" It strangely reminded me of the taste of grapefruit peel - if that makes any sense. Otherwise, it was rather bold, complex, but not truly sweet. The draw tighter than I appreciate, but not something to require a poker or a toss of the cigar.

It was an intriguing smoke.

Thanks, Dave!

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Glad you enjoyed it Rev and it’s definitely not on the sweet side of Maduro cigars :)

Few cigars from RevSmoke out of his PIF/MAW.

A Charter Oaks corona which was excellent and lasted well over an hour. Of the two Charter Oak cigars I’ve smoked, one in the 54 - 60 RG range but not sure actual size and this Corona, the smaller RG is much better IMHO.

Friday I started off with the ERDM and pretty solid Dominican cigar. Smooth, didn’t make my mouth dry which is a huge plus, and some medium body flavors being sweet over some leather.

From Gomeitsmybday currently smoking this watching some football. New Dallas QB looks good and flipped over to the Chargers and LV and wow, Chargers QB is epic.

Oh, and I’m digging this Espinosa cigar hah.

I just smoked a Hoyo De Monterrey CC gifted to me by Shilala way back in 9/2/2011. Lancero and I usually get them too hot about half way through, but took my time and it was awesome.

I do like the Charter Oaks in the smaller rg-vs-larger.
The ERdM is a Honduran, not Dominican. I truly enjoy the sweetness of them.

Ahh, Honduran! That explains why my mouth didn’t go dry hah.

Very nice cigar that. Not many Honduran tobacco cigars today it seems.

I did, and I need to thank you again. My Christmas night smoke was the Esplendido you sent me, it was delicious with a perfect draw. Thank you for making my Christmas even better, Gabe.

Thanks, brother. :tu

I just now saw this as I was about to post a cigar I smoked from another user, but I'm so happy to hear that Gabe!! If I had to choose, I'd probably pick the original Leche de Mama but honestly you can't go wrong with either...the maduro really just provides a darker, spicier experience. However the only problem is that they don't release them very often so if you see them, grab them quick!! :D

Ezra Zion Jamais Vu Toro - courtesy of Weelok, was totally different from what I was expecting as usually Weelok likes to send cigars powerful enough to knock out a full grown adult and this one was more in the medium range. That said, it was a superb cigar, medium body but full of flavor! Thanks Dave!!

I just got done smoking an AJ Fernandez Signature Series that was very tasty. It was gifted to me by our friend Mac way back in 2011 at the Epic Herf in Ocala. Mac gifted me a whole box of CAOs and several other cigars that day. Since it was only about a month after that Herf that my brother passed away and then 10 months later my mom died it always brings back sad but fond memories when I pul out a cigar from Mac or others that gifted cigars to me at the Herf that year. :)

So, for Christmas my SIL sent me a Muestra de Saka Nacatamale. Been sitting in my humidor since Christmas, got around to smoking it the other day, nice and dark and full flavored. Lots of cocoa, a bit of spice... flavors were pretty muted because it was plugged pretty good and had a hard time getting a good draw. Oh, well, was a nice gift .

I'm smoking a Gurkha Ghost, a Christmas present from my daughter. She must have asked for some good cigars at a B&M. She asked for some good rum at a liquor store and I got a bottle of Zacapa Solera. Good daughter! Anyway, this cigar is very good. It is a robusto maduro. A good cigar for me is if I can't complain about it. A very good cigar is one I would like to smoke again. The roll, flavor, burn and draw are all flawless on this stick.
