Yeah you know, I've had a few different ABs in the past and I have to say, I've been impressed with every single one (especially the prensado!) It's in of those brands I've been meaning to check out more but seem to always put off in favor of other brands....but I plan to remedy that soon!

San Lotano Reqiuem Maduro - got this one from you Dave! Going to make a post in the other thread for shared cigars

Tatuaje Havana Nobles - haven't had many Tats but this one is pretty good! Rather middle of the road body and flavor-wise but sometimes that just hits the spot.

I found an _old_ box (ten years +) of Padron Delicias buried deep in a coolerdor.

Yellow/brown cellos on the remaining Padrons in the box--and the smoke was _very_ good and actually had a long finish (unusual in my experience with NCs).

I got them cheap from a website that is long defunct--can't remember the name.

Cigars from last night and night before.

Casa Fernandez Anniversario and an Ezra Zion All Me Ex’s Maduro. Yummy yummy.

A Tale of Two DPG Blues.

First up, the less aged toro date unknown but let’s go with 2017. The torpedo probably need to go back as far as 2014 given the band is starting to fade.

I will smoke the torpedo Friday.

I’m the past, DPG Blues rolled off in flavor as little as six months resting and became smoother with notes of wood and coffee. Fresh DPG Blues hammered me with pepper and espresso.

I expect the toro to be smooth with a mixture of wood and coffee. Let’s see how this goes.

Batter up!!

God of Fire 2013 Carlito - another straggler left over from my last vacation. Generally speaking, God of Fires are very nice but they do not justify the price tag whatsoever, I've found this is the case with most extra premium cigars. I've had much nicer smokes by taking regular premium (or even some budget) cigars that I already know I like, and giving them at least a year in the humidor before smoking.
To my knowledge, the God of Fire offers two different wrappers, the Carlito and Don Carlos and for my money, the Don Carlos wrapper kicks the Carlito's butt. The Don Carlos offers much more complexity and seems to make the blend a touch stronger body wise.
That said, the Carlito is still nice and offers a lot in terms of a breakfast/first of the day cigar. Starts off with sweet hay/grassy notes (good grass not the bad kind) and transitions in to earthy, caramel notes with a touch of spice. Good stuff but will not be buying more of these unless I find them *heavily* discounted.

JFR Lunatic El Chiquito - felt adventurous this morning. Fortunately, it's my last one of these...monstrosities...I've had the more sane Lunatic short robusto thanks to Tio Gato and they are awesome, aside from smoking better they also taste much better than the El Chiquito, so I just ordered some of the short robustos last night.

Casa Fernandez Aganorsa Leaf Maduro Robusto - hands down my favorite maduro atm. Total in your face intense heavy pepper up front but has so many delicious notes under that pepper, eventually mellows to all those delicious savory chocolate & coffee notes...I need to buy another box soon to share with others (and so I don't have to crack open the box I already have stashed away!)

My Father Belicoso - I started this morning by lighting 1 of the PLPC's out of a box i recently acquired, in order to check and see where the box is at, and as expected, burned a little young. So I instead reached for the My Father and hot damn, I'm glad I did. Through and through just a spectacular cigar, never lets me down! If only the DPG Blues were this consistent.
