I can understand!
I would get a few just because it's an AJF blend too.

Let me guess, you have a box stored away of which you haven't smoked any yet?

Not good at writing descriptions of cigars but just a few puff and a retrohale of this beauty, and you know for sureit's one darn good smoke

The one on this end. Sorry don't have pix of individual cigars in the this concussive Bomb received yesterday from The Shadow aka Alan S.

Edit: Forgot the smoking time with this fine cigar. One Hour and Thirty Seven Minutes to the nub.

Try it with an IPA or hoppy pale ale. Certainly among my favorite cigars along with several others from them. Hard to find a cigar that pairs with hoppy beers.

AVERT YOUR EYES.

I had another one. Finally smoked this Gurkha Regent from a budget cigar bomb from @droy1958 .

We all know the reputation, but I gotta say, I’m pretty blown away. This is a great cigar. Plumes of smoke. Smoking beautifully. Pepper and mint. I won’t hate on this brand as much as I used to.

I REALLY LOVE that particular cigar from the Gurkmeister in robusto size....

Did a rush job on my overgrown lawn as a storm was close. While cooling down and rehydrating it’s smoking time. Generally lanceros and Churchill’s are for lawn watering day. Rain counts, right?

I must say these JR wannabe CAO Maduros are pretty good at something like $37/bundle of 20. Better than the Flor de Flor I often get for about the same price, though I haven’t tried their Maduro version.

Nah. You turned me on to something new here. But I'm going to grab a few now that I know of them.
Who knows how long I'm going to sit on them once i get them.

What did you smoke today (NC) II

DBL Maduro. Got this in a blind sampler. I’ve never had one. It lacks sweetness and tastes like you’re eating cocoa right out of the box. Bleh. First cigar I’ve pitched in a long time.

Sounds like something I'd probably like.
I'd pair it with some lightly sweetened, steamed milk or maybe espresso if the milk didn't cut it.

There’s definitely a market out there for cigars like this. Reminded me of La Palina Black and a Camacho Triple Maduro—other cigars that I pitched. Bitter chocolate is not my thing.

I’m with the Emperor. Sounds like my thing too. Who wants sweet in their coffee or their cigar?

I definitely don’t require sweetness, although it’s always welcomed unless it’s artificial tasting. But I do need some sweetness when I’m tasting cocoa. Otherwise, it reminds me of that time when I was a little kid and saw Hershey’s cocoa in the spice rack and thought....Hershey’s?? Yum!! A spoonful later and I was almost throwing up.

Mine had a solid second half, but need a little bit of rest. Looks like this is going to be a creamy cedar bomb of flavor in a few months. The only issue I'm concerned with is draw, the last couple of 18s and this one have been over-packed for my liking. I'm going to start dry-boxing them for a couple of days to see if there's any change.

Mine was fine and the draw and burn were spot on. I had the corona tonight, may do the robusto tomorrow to investigate these claims of yours !

I can appreciate that.

For some reason my tastes have been changing over the decades and where I needed sugar and creamer in a medium roast have turned into a dark roast made strong and black. And a good bit of bitterness in my beer can be ok too. I figured this was potentially along those lines. Maybe I should buy one and see for myself.
