Early start on a Sunday. A Flores Gran Reserva Half Corona...3.5x46. As a creature of the Night this is really my last smoke of the evening
One I'd likely never to've had a chance to enjoy smoking other than having been bombed this Half Corona by WNYTONY in the Coffee & Cigars pass, Not an ultra mild one is this,like Rigondeaux it packs punch, and like Rigondeaux thats "Cubanese" at heart.Have a nice cup of hot coffee too, and both are hitting that sweet spot.
Second smoke of the day. Illusione Epernay Le Toureaux...5.5x56.
Beautifully made Box Pressed cigar I was looking for something with a patriotic connection to this Holiday weekend and its a perfect choice.
Have smoked lllusiones before, three I think, but this one has that something extra that grabs your attention right from the start, tho just how Tobacco hints at Champagne is beyond me,but it does.Aside from a slight wavy burn line right at the start,due my error when lighting up, this cigar held an extremely sharp burn line right to its finish at two hours and fourteen minutes.The Illusione Epernay Le Tourneaux was par of a spectacular bomb from Merovius(Tyler) I'm glad to've smoked this cigar at this time since the weather was near perfect, as this one deserved...Thanks Tyler. Have a great Holiday Weekend.
I've been sitting on this Mystery Lancero for a good month+, but a cold and then allergies have kept me from wanting to light it until I knew my taste buds were back in service. From

, hopefully he'll tell me what it is now!
I know that I like it - it's on the milder side, sweet and very smooth. I'd definitely smoke it again, so the only logical conclusion is that it's a Gurkha. Or maybe the trap is that I'll like it, and it's a Gu...never mind.

Late afternoon smoke. Illusione F 9 Lonsdale...6.25x44.
Really enjoyed this excellent cigar that Mervius Bombed me with during the Coffee and Cigars Pass.Perfect construction, sharp burn needing no relight or touch up through out it's two hour and sixteen minute burn time,thanks Tyler for sending this fine cigar to me.
Edit: Forgot to include photo of the cigar.
A much liked size and a great smoke...from a great BOTL.
Just finished this one. L F D La Nox...7x50. Take from the Coffee & Cigars Pass, long,long burning and very,very nice smoke on an overcast not too hot, but kind of humid afternoon, thanks to whoever put this one in the pass.

Cruzado by Illusione Churchill...7x47.A classic Churchill size, once cut and lit impressed by the just right blend that's producing a smooth tasting smoke, is smooth a quality for smoke? well the word seems to suit the smoking experience with the first puffs,some good hot Coffee and away we go.This cigar courtesy of Cardinal's prize from the Coffee & Cigars Pass. Thanks Tim.
