It was back and forth with the pull. Pretty good overall. The tobacco had much more bite than the maduro churchill, and I enjoyed that. Couldn't find the blend online, but I think that lancero was much more within my preferred wheelhouse. May have been just the size, but it was much more intense compared to the velvety smooth maduro churchill. Great picks on both, and I really appreciate the chance to check out a mfg I probably would've never had, had it not been given to me.

The BLTC Super Deluxe is excellent! But I am a BLTC / BWS fan. They just seem to match my tastes.
Box worthy.

This was my second H&S.
Very flavorful. The other was a “Traveling Man” which I liked better. It was more complex, buttery, creamy and smooth.

The Master Mason with an Oscuro wrapper was leathery and spicy with cocoa. The wrapper had a slow burn and almost caused some burn issues. Had difficulty keeping it lit; tended to go out if I didn’t pay attention to it. Wrapper issue or that it was adjacent to the humidifier in the humidor at my B&M. This is not an unusual problem with some of the thick Oscuro wrappers.

From the two H&S I’ve tried, they seem to be of high quality; both in construction and in quality of tobaccos. I still have a “Grand Architect” to try. One of my local B&Ms carry the line. I had my eye on a “Shriner” with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.
The “Veiled Prophet” with a Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper sounds very good.

I’d like to think I’m not a cigar snob but I know I reflexively turn my nose up at chop filler smokes. Add to that my first experience with a Curly was not fantastic, I didn’t have high hopes for this. I wanted something I didn’t mind chucking if I didn’t want to brave the chill (I know, 40 isn’t cold) anymore. That said... it’s not horrible which for this is probably as good as it’s gonna get.

... I’d take it over a Tat Red Band any day... lol [emoji6]

@Nature
Thx Mark.
I like the BLTC/BWS line too!
I've heard nothing but good things about H&S's entire line up. Gonna talk to Smallbatch and see if he can put together a nice sample for me with 2 each of the entire line.
And being a traveling man, the novelty of the lines/brand is cool.

Friday Night cigar.

Nice even burn, good retrohales plus lots & lots of smoke
