Just finished a My Father Limited Edition Corona...5x42. And think it's near time for some sleep, no need for a roll call of no account sheep, ready for that shut eye time now.
2013 Alec Bradley 2nd. Size appears to be 6-3/4" x 48-rg. Kirkland coffee with a little cream.
I bought several bundles of these AB 2nds when on sale but all were received bone dry. Vendor accepted the return but I forgot to send this bundle (of 10) back. Kept them in a 72-rh humi for a couple of years. I shouldn't have wasted the space.
Only this one is marginally smokeable, the others all had impossibly tight draw and dull wrappers from being dry so long. Taste would be ok without the issues but it underscores what I've said before, that in my experience, '2nds' are (usually) training cigars and these obviously were.
Out for a stroll before lunch and the heat.

Anniversary smoke! I wasn't impressed though which is odd for me and crowned heads, 2nd one of these I had with a super tight draw. It did open a bit at the end and I got some decent flavors, maybe I'll try it again sometime in a differ vitola

Paul Stulac White Blinding Light Toro ...6x56. On yet one more rainy day, despite the humidity/dampness this cigar once lit needed no relights nor touch-ups burn line stayed sharp , draw and retrohale were very good, all in all a very good long lasting smoke.

A black crown cigar... my first and sadly maybe last as I dont see them for sale anywhere anymore. I really enjoyed this cigar.

Man, I bought a bundle of the little perfectos early in 2015 when CA put them as a top value smoke and CI had them on sale cheap. I have not enjoyed them at all, and I think I've gone back to the well at least 3-4 times now. Don't think they're getting any better.
2013 The Griffin's Robusto, coffee light on a drizzle, overcast morning but it never went below 50 degrees last night and that's good for my plantings.
Thank you gentlemen, Been together 10 years married 7. I couldn't be happier, well I guess I could be living on a tropical island with nothing to do but drink good beer and smoke cigars, but it would still be with her. :bluegrin:
I hope your experience was better than mine
Surprisingly good.

From @allusred comes another gem. I'm only halfway through but this is coming on as a contender for new-to-me cigar of the year so far. It's excellent so far, thanks Bob. I can see why you love these now.

Fracking delicious!
I will be letting its siblings rest a bit longer, then I will be doing this again!
Smoked a couple, gave the remaining three away. Bought them because they are claimed to be made by Villiger and they were the first large ring gauge cigar I saw from Viliger,and wanted to try the wrapper leaf. There is very good reddish hued leaf from one area in Peru,well this doesn't seem to be it. Or maybe it was the sub par filler and binder that were really bad. Villiger makes another the villiger Colorado 5.5x54 that,like the La Libetad is said to be highly rated.
If that rating too came from whoever gave high marks to the La Lebertad,it would be interesting to find out what they'd been drinking,or smoking at the time.
Villiger does make some quite good smaller sized cigars but measured against the quality level of say the Villiger Premium No. 7 Sumatra machine made cigars,
the La Libertad disapoints.
Yes ya will.
Unless you've caught that guy stealing from your humidor while your sleeping, you're going to have to keep tossing more cigars in there from time to time for him otherwise one of these morning you'll wake to find the cupboard bare.
Ah kin lend ya this fella ta watch over your smokes whilst ya sleep, not tew shur how ferocacous he is tho, seein as how a Skunk chased him right ota the yard las night.
Keep him splided with Fig Newtons and he'll be loyal.

Turned a couple to ash today. Both were good but the 2015 LC was very good.
Looking forward to the 2016 LC that I heard is releasing in June.

I just have to know what a Folsom Prison cigar can be like. Had to Google the image. Yep...
Wouldn't have even heard of it if it weren't for The Man In Black.
Looking at the background I'm trying to figure if you are in the north or south. Certainly not the mountains (loved Flagstaff and Sedona), but it almost seems there is too much greenery to be too far south. Base of the mountains?
La Casita Criolla Robusto today for me. Love these as value priced smokes
