Enjoyed a nice Oliva MB III after dinner tonight. This one wasn't going to win any beauty pageants, aside from that no complaints. This one is continuing to rise to the top of my favorite Oliva sticks list.

Hi Chris,
Well described and dovetails to my experience with the "A" lines.
5-Vegas Double Nickle with coffee light sitting on the front porch in < 40 degrees. Front porch cuts the wind that's pretty lively today.
Drier (in a Chardonnay way) than other 5-Vegas Gold sizes, moderately sweet with nicely defined citrus over cedar and sneaky strong. As noted previously these develop wrapper tears near the cap (ring / box pressed) when cut or smoked. One of my favorite Ecuadorian CT and I think this is the taste profile that the new Macanudo Cafe blend wants to be although it still has more depth.

Early,early Friday Morning. El Rey Del Mundo Choix Spreme...6.1x49. After a bit of rest in the Humidor each one of these smokes better than the previous.
Low temp...low humidity, no idea if that could be factor in the way this one smoked.
Burn time: One Hour Nine Minutes.

Ffriday afternoon. Matilde Renacer...5.2x54. This one had a super sharp burn line as well as a long holding solid white ash, all in all a pleasure, even tho smoked on a rather cold, 44 F., Front Porch.
Burn time. One Hour and Twenty Minutes..

Went by the local shop yesterday and they have some Ashton 2nds that I've not seen before.
I picked up a few of the maduros and am smoking one now.
Heck of a good cigar for $4.30 for sure.
Check out my Youtube channel, Razorback Piper Guy if you like that sort of thing.

Davidoff Sign 2000 702 Series a very cubanesque cigar with volumes of rich creamy smoke. Two 👍 👍

Was sick all week... Finally feeling better and the weather becomes uncooperative. 40* high today.
So I decided to clean the garage a little with a CAO Brazilia Gol! this afternoon. No pic, but an enjoyable smoke while putzing around.
