A very well traveled EP Carrillo which has been in my travel humi for probably two years! I didn't remember them being this good, lots of bitter chocolate cream and espresso.

Nice smokes dave, love them ligas. How was that skull breaker if you dont mind me askin ?

[PullMyFinger]

Didn't smoke any today as it's way too cold and the propane heater won't keep up. But yesterday I smoked a nice Avo LE10 and a Davidoff Sir Winston Marrakesh. The Avo LE10 is probably my favorite cigar of all time. So far.

The Skull Breakers were a bit of a disappointment but it's my fault. Well, let's just say it's my ignorance. Normally I love the Skull Breakers but to my surprise, they tasted metallic and a bit too much on the espresso bitter side of things from my recollection and I attribute that to them being too humid.

That's why I smoked a second one the next night to see if it was just due to following the Montecristo and my palate being saturated already but the cigar was the same on the second night. They were a bit tight on the draw so too humid. These seem to be a Nicaraguan that will do better around the 65% range so I'm going to dry box for a week another and see if it improves.

I expect it will as right out of the box I smoked about 6 in a row and they were amazing with a nice charred wood flavor that I love but they were "dry" out of the box. I now say they were the correct humidity hahahah. So I've screwed them up but easy to correct.

So that's my honest assessment. They are amazing but don't get them too humid. Also, and this was a first. The one on Thursday night had a beetle hole under the band. I had to smoke it like a piccolo. This was a factory problem as the band had no beetle hole and to my knowledge, a beetle will eat through a band as easy as it will eat through a cigar and no hole in the band. I double checked to be sure.

Thanks for the info dave, those are my list. And little treat before the game

JR Alt El Behike #5: Surprisingly one dimensional; almost bland
Four Kicks Corona: Tasty! Very much a step up from the Alt El
Ave Maria Knights Templar: Why did I buy only four boxes?!? The best cigar of the bunch, and I'm saying that almost every time I smoke one. A primo with Cuban undertones, great draw, complex flavors, and enough strength to tempt me to let it sleep for six months. If they weren't so good, I would.
