Decided to try the Maduro since I ordered a tin of the cigarillos. At first it was a bit harsh but rounded out and mellowed fairly quickly. However it refuses to stay lit and it’s been kept at 65% for 2 months or so.

Wednesday Night, late. Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone Chuchy. Long burning Habano that needed Zero touching up or relighting.
Good as it was, I'm looking forewards to a little more variety. Expecting a small order in any time now.

Tony is kind enough to send me one before HE has even tried one!
And guess what? I didn't like it. I hope I don't sound like an ungrateful a-hole. But I know I would rather hear the truth from you guys, so I hope you see it the same way.
The taste of this cigar was a musty/ashy flavor. Not barnyard, but wet, campfire ash. The taste just stuck to my mouth.
I HAVE to think that something was off with this single stick. I'd still try another and hope Tony has one soon so we hear his thoughts.
Hope I didnt offend.

Nothing better than getting a free single of a seemingly intriguing cigar that you find you don't like.Quote:

Yes, definitely would rather hear your thoughts on it. I bought it at the shop and sent it right out and I only grabbed the one but now I'm definitely going to have to go grab one to try myself. (Lol - here, tell me if this milk is bad) I like their sticks as well and figured that would be no different.Quote:

I'm headed to Kentucky this weekend so no where to smoke and I'm not standing out in the cold (I'm spoiled being able to smoke inside) so nada for me today

Another dive into the @WNYTONY FF prize pack and another stick I've been pining for.

Fantastic cigar thus far! It's like a Padron on steroids. A spicier padron, if you will.Quote:

I’ve been anxiously waiting to open this box for a few months. Not disappointed. Tastes just like it looks. Bold and spicy, lots of cedar and cocoa.
A burn doesn’t get better than that.

Was pretty surprised to see these in a B&M today. A little pricey but had to grab 1 to see if they were still good, might have to grab a couple more

One more. Black Label Royalty. This one from @josh lucky 13 - looks nicely aged. Smooth smoke with lots of cream and sugar.

Highly recommend the Jan 10 Cigar Dojo live show. Lots of talk about the industry, IPCPR and all the kerfuffle around many companies backing out. If you’re a cigar news geek, it’s a good update.

Grab me one and grab one for @WNYTONY on me.Quote:

@WNYTONY while you are in Columbia buying these in person, kidnap Trey so he has to go to the Orgy this year. Thanks.Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks that @penna stogey driving the bike into Brooklyn and picking up @Brimy is the right choice ?
I like those but who can smoke a cigar that size in a quarter? Maybe get 1 of those smoked in a half if you tried.Quote:

No.1 cigar of the year from Halfwheel is the Joya De Nicaragua Antano Connecticut it sounds like one I’ll pursue. Brimy we’ll have to find one for you to sample it has an Ecuadorian Connecticut Wrapper with a couple different Nicaraguan binders inside medium full creamy with spice
Yikes $15 !!! I guess they know what they found then lol. The '14 Anvil was also an excellent cigar.Quote:
