I do like the Choix's, but since I havent smoked one from your fresh box, I didnt have a fresh one to baseline. And yes, I am still a noob!

I just smoked #2 while watching The Jets give The Titans a whoopin'
This was a large robusto 5x 54/56? The flavor and strength was good for this early part of the day. There was nothing that really stood out with this one, except there was this flavor in the back ground that I related to too much Honduran. As I am new I come to that conclusion from the couple of Punches that I had That being said, this flavor was in the background and not over powering. I would smoke this cigar while working in the garage or in the yard as to have something else to distract me from that background flavor. Not that bad of a cigar, but with all the other stuff in the humi, I don't see myself ever going to this again.
Now off to my favorite robusto(Boli RC) to watch my Giants teach the Cards a lesson

That one was a Padilla Achilles. A pretty decent inexpensive smoke, from the current batch not the original release. I like these as a mild/medium everyday smoke, nothing too complex or challenging. You can find these for anywhere from $25-40 a bundle on cbid.

Smoked #4 tonight. A really ugly 5 1/4 x 42approx. Corona. Super toothy wrapper, actually had a little taper towards the head. It looked like a stubby fingered roller with palsy applied the cap. This was one rough looking smoke.
Prelight draw wasnt too bad but gave away that it had come in a cardboard box. First third was pretty good, some nice toasty flavors came through, not at all as rough as the construction would lead you to believe. Certainly had the rustic flavor of that island that is not the Dominican Republic. Second third remained quite pleasant, good burn. Rustic, toasty flavor profile maintained. Final third got a bit hot so I put it down until it was almost out and puffed again. after a purge the toasty flavor returned. My guess is that this was a Los Statos Dlx Brevas. Might have been a Quintero, but most of the Quint's I have smoked I did not enjoy. I like the LSD's for a good inexpensive smoke. Have a few of the Delirios in my Vino. They are a nice late nite last smoke.
