Now if I only hadn't busted the cigar budget, I'd look for a box of the Oliva V 135th Annis... Hopefully there will be a few boxes around by the time I get some more expendable income.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Great choices, Todd! I liked the Aladinos I have tried a lot.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Not surprising about the Aladinos. The Eiroa family knows how to blend corojo.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

High praise! I have heard a bit about them from other places, and thought I'd give them a try. Padron Annis...are always a good choice, they never fail to satisfy. I have had a couple Tabernacles in the past, they were incredible! I'm a sucker for a lancero, and always love a perfecto, I thought I'd give no shake to try as well.

Piece of the Lord be with you.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I have also wanted to try a particular Lancero, the Southern Draw Firethorn. It is an intriguing sounding stick, and I truly enjoy it's cousin, the Kudzu. So, I picked up a 5er to try.

https://i.imgur.com/fwDnpyg.jpg?2

I also picked up some more Lanceros - and some PCs to split with local pastor. I know, if it doesn't have the right band on it, signifying who made it - and it better be the right one - then it isn't worth smoking.

All I can say is, "There are guys out there who brag that they got their favorite Gurkhas on special for $200 a box of 20 instead of the regular $675 a box."

These out smoke Gurkhas, in fact, these are in my humidor because I like them. Not all Class 34 cigars are created equal though. The Maduro blends #9 & #47 are superb, the Connie #1 & #2 are also. Some of the others not so much. Of course, you should try them for yourself, your mileage may vary.

And this is the LAST shipment of cigars I will get in a while.

You're on a Tat tear!
Looks like all from the same place???
If so, may I ask which one?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Rev,

This is a fairly reasonable deal at Fox cigars. I say fair because some of these in the sampler have become HTF for reasons???? The price is fair and on sale so a bit more fair.

I have really enjoyed shopping with Fox cigar as well as Cigar Kings. Those are the two new shops I’ve been doing online orders through as of late.

Smoke Inn as well for some Tatuaje ME II cigars. Strong but I enjoy them.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

What do you think of the Mail Dias? That the Habano OR type correct?

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Nice haul, Dave. Have you tried the Hell Cats? I enjoyed the ones I had and the Tats :dr

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I like them a lot, Dave, I think the Habano wrapper takes a bit of the pepper out of the Nicaraguan filler. Strength with smoothness, a nice change of pace cigar.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I smoked my first one ROTT. First impressions was it was milder and smoother then expected but my brain was thinking Chupa Cabre. I’ll try another in a week of rest or so but I think now that I know the profile, it’s going to be a great cigar.

The Verocu is very nice. I don’t recollect the Havana VI being near as strong and flavorful as the Verocu blend but perhaps it’s just my palate has changed over time.

I picked up a bunch of Tat samplers from Fox Cigar and dang, I really love the Verocu blend. Bonus, it’s actually a great price for a cigar hah.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Second impressions plus more cigars.

Chupa Cabra Hellcat - awesome. Note to self, best enjoyed when not a destroyed palate from super hot food. More boxes will be bought. Thanks TxRebel for turning me onto Estaban Carreres.

Verocu - more boxes will be bought.

New purchase.

I didn’t share this when they arrived. I think I ran out of time.

This is from early April and is my last purchase for quite awhile.

The Prensado 10 pack were $2 per stick. That was tough to pass up.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I bought a box of Oliva V Melanio Gran Reserva Torpedo. Given the pricing (Dutch pricing is set once imported), this has been laying in my B&M's humidor for a while.

Also bought (but not photographed):
3x Sobremesa Brûlée
3x Oliva O
3x Oliva Connecticut
1x Fratello Navetta

I'm on the hunt for a box of that last one.

PS: Sorry about the CC's on top. It was the only photo I had of the box.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Love those Melanios.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Same. I would light one up, but I'm recovering from a root canal.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Great pick ups. I totally love those Verocu cigars!!

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I'm a longtime fan of Flor de Oliva. Especially the Sumatra version but the maduro ain't bad either.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I've really liked the Aladinos I've smoked, Dave, going to have to restock them.

Another fairly recent discovery for me, re-upped these as well.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Oh wow, that’s a cigar I’ve not heard about. You obviously enjoy them. Got some thoughts on them? A bit of post tasting thoughts hah.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Dave, I get coffee and cream from the Street Tacos. No overwhelming pepper for a Nicaraguan puro. With the decline of some of the Caldwells for me, this fills the bill nicely among others.

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

I smoked one of those Street Tacos a few days ago that was gifted to me. It was definitely a good smoke. I'd love to get some more.

Rojas released the Street Taco Carnitas at the PCA22. The Carnitas has an Ecuador Connecticut wrapper

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Glad to see the Chogui back on the market. I like the OG band much better. Did you have the original release?

Re: Show your latest NC purchase IV
 

Noce Cary! I'll be excited to try that one.
