Hoping the various ones I have now, all from 2016 except a God of Fire that is 2010, have mellowed out enough for me to actually be able to taste them instead of overwhelming my palate.

(Tatuaje) La Riqueza No.1 Longsdale (Cervantes) Box Press
Excellent taste.
Cold draw was nonexistent so used my perfecdraw tool. Unfortunately it cracked the wrapper pretty badly, which caused the area around the crack to burn faster than the rest, so burn was very uneven inspite of multiple corrections.
Construction and draw were excellent while smoking
Definitely had some age to it as the cellophane was very yellowed
Would definitely like to try another one that hopefully isn't plugged and needing a draw too so the burn is even https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ef43381221.jpg

Third one I've smoked and I got no complaints. It's a bit on the ass kicking side (it's an AJ after all), but nice flavors and perfect draw on each. Dry flavors for the most part, toasted wood notes, walnuts husk, little pepper, and some cinnamon.Quote:

For Tatuesday
Always a good smoke, and from flavor profile to construction very consistent

So I'm not the only one that thought that. I told Willy himself he was making a mistake by getting rid if the oval box press, but he gave the marketing spiel about how so many people complained about it and so on.Quote:

Had a cigar last night for the first time in a couple of weeks.
A Padron 3000 Natural, along with a glass of Famous Grouse on the rocks.
It hit the spot very nicely.
Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo Maduro
Extremely tasty as always and perfect draw and construction.
Burn was pretty uneven the whole time and gave up trying to correct it.
Smoked it until the smoke was too hot and was burning my fingers though
Great smoke https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...099ba8079f.jpg

Was at the local shop the other day when the owner was opening deliveries and he had these new undercrown boxes with these little things in them. One is San Andreas wrapper, ones CT broadleaf binder and the other is filler leaves. He gave me one of each so figured I'd try them out.
Starting with the filler, interesting so far can't quite pinpoint any flavors but it's good. Burns well too witch I was concerned abouthttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b6873ad62.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f13ac8dd91.jpg

BLTC Viaticum @SoCal gunner
Very Good, can’t say excellent.
Starts off with a Big Bang of pepper; red and black.
Earthy, minerally, at times almost chalky.
Wood. Initially oak then transitions to cedar.
Floral notes, heightened in last third.
Nuts, cashews.
Faint cinnamon weaves in and out.
Pepper diminishes early during the first third and is nearly absent in middle.
Returns in and out picking up just a bit in last third, but mostly black pepper.
Most disappointing, this burned fast!
Maybe needs a bit more fill.

Yes, that is what I heard too, but man do I love the super oval box press. I guess we are the weird onesQuote:

Looking as if this will be turned to ash before Kayla's completed Her morning run.Only 56 F. here, so at least it's likely a bit warmer down in Fla.
Good Morning Kayla.
Good morning [emoji2] I woke up late so I only had time for my run but no cigar [emoji853]Quote:

Then there are blenders with more 'blends' than anyone can keep track of and yet constantly rolling out new ones; think Rocky and Gurkha. To me it gives the impression that they don't know what they're doing or don't even care just as long as there are cylindrical brown things on shelves with their bands on them. (I'm not willing to wade thru a mountain of crap just to find a decent smoke in the mix. With the few cigars I smoke, I'd like to actually smoke a decent one, not research a pile of garbage.) Gurkha then takes the extra step by trying to pass themselves off as the most coveted, uber-premium of the premiums and by putting some ridiculous MSRP on practically every stick to try and back that claim up. I call it the 'gilded turd marketing approach'. Having fallen victim to a few gilded turds in my day (other products - not cigars), I have come to resent any company or salesman who markets in this way and simply won't buy any of their products.Quote:
