On a warm Sunday morn in January. Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone Chuchy EMS.
Enjoying a chilly afternoon with a pork butt on the smoker and having this Black Label Trading Co. Deliverance perfecto courtesy of @SoCal gunner .
I'm about an inch down as I type this and it is very good. Bold with a little sweetness on the draw and a spicy retrohale.

If you gave me an unbanded one and told me these were some fancy boutique smoke, I’d still be impressed.

Late Evening smoke. Tabacalera Sumatra Corona. I do like me good Sumatra wrapper. But running out of these far too quickly.
Oh wow - you sent me one of those massive Vidas too. Good to know I can smoke something that big and survive ! It's still waiting for golf season though...Quote:

Works quite nicely even with a jalapeño beer:

Had a pretty light weekend, which is weird since in hindsight, all I did was lounge and smoke this weekend...

The Viva La Vida is very nice for a 56rg! It burned excellent and the ash held for at least 1 1/2" at a time. Construction was done well.Quote:

I like these smokes but once punched or cut it wants to unravel, which isn’t a big deal as I just lick it and stick it and it tends to stay put.
I disremember which vitola, but a nice Intemperance as I run errands before work https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5c3a5e6837.jpg

First smoke of the day. Tabacalera Sumatra Corona, before the rain started.
Privada Cigar’s house blend, dubbed My Blue Heaven. It’s all Aganorsa Leaf tobacco. Amazing!

262 Paradigm c/o @Regiampiero . Pretty good, especially for a larger ring gauge

I think I’d have to say the Mx2 is my favorite smoke with a dark roast coffee that I’ve tried so far. I did order tins of the Undercrown Maduro and Sungrown cigarillos to try though, and I don’t recall what I thought of the Victor Sinclair Serie 55 cigarillos, which are also on the way.

@allusred - you love coffee and smokes, what’s your favorites that might be found in a small package?
I remember not wanting to every try another Victor Sinclair cigar

'smatter? Damp newsprint not your thing?Quote:

Late, again,posting here. Night time smoke. Mr. Brownstone Smack Maduro by Esteban Carreras. Smoked while strolling on the boardwalk late Tues Night/early Wednesday Morning. After the rain ended, clear sky very fresh moisture laden air...the cigar smoked/tasted better than any of these I've smoked to date. Easy light sharp burn line.... it were a good 'un.
Wednesday Afternoon smoke. A Tabacalera Sumatra Corona, while walking on the beach.
Small package...In the past that would've been Villiger...back when they were Cuban.I think they were No.7s.Haven't smoked any small pack Villigers recently. But if you like the dry cigars they might be worth a try. There was a non Cuban Magicos that was quite nice, not a long cigar, and I cant recall the ring gauge...more importantly cannot remember the brand name...NYTONY...surely would know that Heck TONY is the man with the real skinny on the short smokes. My fav non cubn short cigar was the San Cristobal Del Sol by Pepin Garcia, but they are long gone now. A Fuente Hemingway Short Story...good but too $$ for me. There are a few Cubans, Vegueros. Quinteros and the Romeo y Julieta En Cedros , H. Upmann. That might fit the bill. However not all available in small pkgs.Quote:

I was rather skeptical until I was sent one in a package. Maybe not a high rate smoke, but it wasn’t bad. I think a part of it is the stigma. I’ve had those Serie 55 cigarillos and think they are more than worth the price. Not my favorite little smoke, but there’s just not a lot of options that aren’t either really crappy, too expensive for scraps rolled up, or not available as a stand alone tin which is the trouble I’m finding with the Avo Classic Puritos now, which is the best small cigar next to the little Cubans, I’ve had.Quote:

I’d have this mold counter sunk to use wing nuts to clamp it instead of my little statue to weigh it down. I recently looked at their site but they have no Maduro kits at the moment. I need to find someone with a saw to cut a 2x8 and a drill press to make it properly.
Last night. After removing the cello and leaving these in my wooden humidor for 2 weeks now they smoke great. Still not happy about the size change, but at least I get that norteño flavor again. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61e828640d.jpg
