I forgot to snap a picture but I had an AJF Enclave Toro earlier, great cigar, I'd recommend it to just about anyone :tu

601 La Bomba Toro - dry boxed this one for a day or so, as I keep my rh too high for a La Bomba to be ready to smoke right out of the Coolidor...bold and peppery, the kind of cigars action movie heros & and Ernest Hemingway would have smoked...or written about smoking anyway...
While I do love this cigar, it's so damned strong that I'll be regretting smoking it tomorrow morning, when I'm barely able to taste my breakfast cigar...but hey I'm sure there's some poignant quote about sacrifice...that I could quote....but I won't - because I'm too busy enjoying this cigar. :tu

CLE Corojo Corona - okay so I was impatient...only rested these about 1.5 months so far so there is definitely some bold pepperiness throughout but in a really good way with lots of complex flavors accompanying the pepper. These are definitely great cigars, I'll be buying more in the future.

Cigar Federation Leche de Mama Maduro - I snagged up a bunch of these because I loved the original Leche de Mama so much and I knew they would sell out. They always sell out.
Great cigar! Creamy as one would expect, earthy - with a hint of sweetness but not too much which is preferred. Immense smoke billows off the foot a lot like the Nica Rusitca. Matter of fact, it smells a lot like the Nica Rustica but it tastes absolutely different.
A spectacular cigar, I will buy more whenever they restock them, but if I'm being totally honest, I do prefer the original Leche de Mama to the Maduro.

Wow lots of great cigars being smoked around here lately!

Tonight I went with...:

https://i.postimg.cc/9MDgwv3f/008516...6412-D9-C0.jpg

Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Leaf Toro - this has been a finicky one for me, really delicate wrapper and they burst on me a couple times last year in the wintertime. Been experimenting with even lower RHs on some of my NCs and it seemed to have done the trick with this one, not a single crack! Plus, flavors were much more defined and clearer. Still a ton of pepper on this one, but far less rough around the edges. Great smoke!

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

What did you think of the 2019 Las Calaveras, Dave? I've only had the '18s and '19s, but prefer the '18s by a good measure.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I only had one of the 18’s as well and think it qualified as an LE. The 2019 seems to me to just be a good cigar but nothing special about it so I agree with you. The 19 gets my buy it online and on sale recommendation which is fortunately how I got my box hah.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Thanks Dave. :tu

B&M still had a couple open boxes of '18s last time I stopped by, I'll probably grab a handful if they still have them next time I'm there.

Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Robusto - I remember really liking these so I picked up a box recently and man am I glad I did! Like eating cocoa pebbles in cigar form - okay so maybe not THAT much but the only more cocoa-y cigar that comes to mind is the RP Royale. Slow and even burn on this one too, all around a great cigar. :tu

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I really enjoy those in the petite robusto size. Just a great short smoke.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

I like those Jaime Garcia Reserva Especials as well, Michael. :tu

Yesterday another Caldwell, this time a Blind Man's Bluff.

https://i.imgur.com/qSzrxSy.jpg

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

How'd you like it? They come across as a bit T52-ish to me. Which at half the price of a T52 is a good thing IMNSHO. :D

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

That's a good comparison, James.

I do like them, but at this point enjoy the Long Live the King line much better. I've also had the Kill the King and Eastern Standard lines, and have a couple more enroute. Haven't smoked a bad Caldwell yet. :tu

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Same here, never had a bad one as yet.

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Wow a cheaper T52? Sounds like a winner to me!

Guardian of the Farm Nightwatch Orpheus - decided to give these a couple more months and they improved vastly! Spicy maduro notes with occasional nods to the original Guardian profile.

Also! The gf and I decided to open some xmas gifts early, I got a bottle of Balvenie 12 yo :D

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Love me some Balvenie!

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Yeah it's a great scotch that doesn't necessarily break the bank imo. Although, I wouldn't consider myself an expert. I do, however, know that I do not care for most Islay scotches, too much peat turns my stomach, blech!!

This morning I went with an AB Coyol Toro, forgot to snap a picture but a great morning cigar!

Re: pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?
 

Smoked an Opus tonight....don't know the vitola offhand...perfection #5 I think? Unremarkable for the most part, but yet a pretty nice smoke. Had some fruity notes in the middle (cherry or raisins I think) that were very nice, but they were fleeting. Had those fruity notes shown up a little more it would've been phenomenal.

Went with a PLPC to start my day. Posted in another thread how they remind me a lot of the Buena Cosecha by Casa Fernandez, so imo if any of you like one, you would almost certainly love the other. :tu

Dunbarton Umbagog Toro - this is a nice one, buttery and savory with lots of spice but as I recall it's a little pricey for what it is. Definitely would get more at a discount but otherwise might be better to pony up a few more bucks for top of the line Dunbartons.
