The Reconquista's seduced me too!

I actually just got another box of 3. They are really great after a year or 2 of deep sleep

Smoked a Bella Artes for breakfast. Very nice. Reminds me of a Peppin. Nice hit of pepper for the first third then solid spices and nuainces for the rest.

Well played, can't go wrong by keeping a few of them in hibernation!

Two years sleep you say? I can't say I have ever kept one around that long. I may have to give it a go.

Have you tried the Argentum?

I used to be a major AJ whore. So when the Reconquista first came out I wanted to try one so bad. I finally bought a few of them and when I finally smoked one after a few months rest I was sooooooo disappointed. One dimensional flavor, uneven burn. Poor draw. Bordering on un-smokeable. So I stuck the rest of them deep in the humi & kind of forgot I had them. So about 2 years later... on a whim I lit one up and it was fantastic. Close to 2 1/2 hr smoke (which is insanely long for me), never went out, never needed a re-light. Very complex. Absolute flavor bomb.

Maybe that batch was a fluke...I'll let you know in a few years

I haven't had the Argentum. Actually never heard of it. Looks like it's a shorter version of the Reconquista for way less $$$


I gotta say the packaging for them is cool tho
