2017 Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Connecticut Toro

Unfortunately, the wrapper cracked and peeled all over, just from normal handling to cut and hold while lighting and smoking. Wrapper was extremely thin, which seems to be common for me with Connecticut wrappers, but not always this bad.

Perfect draw and burn at least.

Had a fair bit of bitterness in the aftertaste which pretty much ruins a cigar for me.

Definitely wont be buying any (this one was a gift along with a few other), as no matter how good the initial taste is, any bitterness just ruins it, plus the ultr-thin wrapper, which caused me to finally give up on Connecticut wrappers entirely.

Still thankful @Tombstone for the ride along smokes he sent with the massive number of bands for a project, and the other cigars have been great

Glad you at least gave it a try. I have been surprised several times trying cigars I thought were outside my wheelhouse. Sometimes you get a dog rocket. Personally I enjoy Rocky CTs. Hope the next cigar is better.

Privada Farm Rolled / Tabacalera Palma / UDL-MAD-550

Waiting on my next shipment of CTs - Aganorsa New Cuba CT Robusto - so, in the meantime, figured I'd get back to these intriguing Tabacalera Palma sticks. I definitely need to look into this factory a bit more after the Claro and now this Maduro.

Wednesday Morning.
Hammer & Sickle Trademark Series Churchill 7x48.
U.S. Shade Grown Conneticut Wrapper.
Have pretty much avoided Conneticut cigars.
The few I've tried were either nasty tasting or more often way too mild, but after smoking a couple of these it seems
this Cigar is one I'll enjoy smoking from time to time.

Paul Stulac Lord Toro 6x48.
Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper.
This was the Paul stulac cigar that I have smoked the most of from His brands a few years ago, when the Paul Stulac Cigars were easier to find. Don't recall exactly when Paul Stulac disappeared from sellers here in the USA. Anyway it

was an obvios easy choice to be the first Paul Stulac I would light up from the great selection Nature ( Mark ) sent Me, Mark called this "a few details" !! Allow Me a little aside right Here. when looking over these beauties Mark sent

I thought that the Classic Phantom Torpedo had been renamed, but could not recall the original name of that cigar. It was only while I was smoking this Paul Stulac Lord that the penny finally dropped and remembered thatit was the Lord

that had given a name change. I'm fairly certain I do have an empty box some wheres with the name Lord Of Albany on it.
Well back to this Smoke. As expected, construction great, cigar feels solid,neither loosely pack nor too tight, easy light,pretty sharp burn likegood smoke production. Somewhat sronger than I remembered the cigar being, maybe a change is

strenght in these now. Pleasnntly surprised to find the flavour(s) changing as the cigar burned down. Remembered the Lord as being tasty,but this one was better than My memories of those I enjoyed smoking in the past. Another lapse of

Memory,the Lord is a Maduro. Here I am saying that I'm not much of a Maduro fan. But I sure smoked a fair number of boxes of these back then, Suix,Seven, Eight Years ago. Summing up this is one helluva nice Cigar, nottoo Mild, complex

and a durn good smoke. Ah one more thing. The Lord was, as I recall a Lonsdale with a 44 Ring Gauge. But this one has to be a toro and that R G might be 49 or maybe even 50. Wichever it is a fine cigar for sure.
Thanks much Mark for sending this one....along with ALL the other "few Details" Greatly appreciated.

No burntime 0r volumious notes I just wanted to enjoy smoking one of these Paul Stulacs.
