Hey, I have smoked these before from a sampler I got from them. They aren’t bad at all, and very affordable. I never had much burn problems with them. @barry2guys with Two Guys Smoke shop is among our community and appears occasionally.
I caught that little Ghostbusters quote.
Enjoyed this beauty Friday afternoon

Been holding onto this for St. Pat’s weekend. First candela, and I can report that I like it. Definitely getting that grassy element, but also lots of pepper and some baking spice. Thanks, @cheaphumidors

Actually had 2 today.
Had a Roma Craft Cromagnon at my B&M.
Then later had a Padron 3000 at home with my nephews (who were smoking Padron 1964s, courtesy of me). We were having a baby shower for their ladies since both are expecting and I gave them something a little nicer. It was a great time.
I've smoked the non-green ones they've sent in the Care Package and they are pretty good but wasn't about to tackle that big green hulk !
@barry2guys is a good dude and he hooks me up with my Tat TAA and Angel's Anvil every year, but he hasn't been around in a while.
I was just watching one of the podcasts and he drank a raw egg without adding any alcohol and he didn't throw up - impressive.
Maybe if we call out @barry2guys a few times he'll show up.
Tried out something a little different today. A generous brother elsewhere sent me this stick from Ezra Zion that is called a naked roll - it had no wrapper leaf. It looked very odd and I expected it (a) to explode as I was smoking it and (b) not be a very good smoke with out the benefit of a wrapper leaf.
It was actually a very tasty smoke and it stayed together just fine all the way down to the nub. Ugly looking thing though..

I truly love the Kudzu. Now I need to replace them. Smoked it with a SN Torpedo.
Need to find some other smokes that play well with hoppy beers. I’ve only found one other so far.
Enjoyed this big boy on Sunday

I'm having a Ramon Bueso Project robusto......
The wrapper isn't critical - it makes the cigar look good of course, and adds about 10-20% of the flavor, depending on the blend. Structurally, if you omit the wrapper, you do have to do a pretty thorough job with the binder. There's an economic angle as well - good wrapper leaves are way more expensive than the internal leaves, so if you want to save a few bucks... :)
And for the record, just finishing an Alec Bradley White Gold that I started on the way home from the bad idea factory :)
As a connoisseur of cheapies, I can't recommend this one. But as an inveterate cheapskate, I'm still planning on finishing off the ones I bought.
Quesada tonight

That's pretty interesting stuff Bruce. I was always under the impression it was a larger part of the flavor component and there are those who preach that the wrapper holds the cigar together - specifically that the cap keeps the whole thing from unraveling. I will say that this thing was rolled very well with just that binder leaf - it burned as good as anything else I've ever smoked. Thanks for the info.
Anyways - tonight I decided to fire this Balmoral San Pedro de Macoris that @TreySC sent me a while back. Not a bad smoke Trey - you said this was pretty good for a cheaper stick and I agree.

Is it just me or does that cigar look good enough to eat?
