That's an excellent smoke!!
One of the 1st cigars to "knock my socks off"!

@Brimy


Are you referring to its young strength and/nicotine level, or do you mean your enjoyment of it?

Kinda dumb question, but curious about the exact meaning of it.

Never had a recent production one. Just found out these exist maybe 6 months ago from seeing one posted on one of my forums and Googled it, and Arturo Fuente is my favorite nc marca by far, so no idea how they escaped my attention.

Still have a 2010 Serie B to try out too.

And kudos to the airtightness of the 2011's tubo. You could really feel the suction when separating the 2 halves, and really feel the air resistance when putting them back together. Definitely a tubo that would maintain humidity for quite a long time outside of any type of storage container.

Beautiful looking scene on the tubo, so added it to my little display of smalll 5ct cc boxes from my favorite cc marcas displayed on my dresser as part of my cigar and Navy themed decor in my room to make it less institutional feeling and looking.

Have received several very nice items to add to my decoration, and its greatly appreciated, especially the 2 wall hanging items. My tupperdors take up my entire desk, and and my little bit of space on my dresser is now full, so pretty much just the walls left to continue decorating.

Always keeping any eye on Amazon, Ebay and just the occasional Google search for affordable Navy or cigar themed wall decorations.

Unfortunately, most nice looking wall items are kinda pricey. Only the ugly or tacky stuff is very affordable from what I've seen

Southern Draw Navy Seal Foundation Cigar

Nice.
I was in the navy from 2001 to 2009.

Spent a couple months on Coronado island in California, which is where the Seals train.

If you got in trouble for something fairly minor, a common punishment was to make you do morning PT with the Seals or BUDS.

Everyone I saw it happen to was so stiff, sore, and generally tore up that they couldn't even raise their arms more than a couple inches and could only shuffle to walk.

Thankfully I never got in trouble for anything, anywhere, for my 8 years. Even got my "good cookie" Medal, lol

Not dumb at all!
I'm talking enjoyment!
The taste had me wanting the cigar to last forever!
I didn't find the nicotine to be too much of an issue (but I love a full strength cigar).
I just found it to be enjoyable from beginning to end.

I really enjoyed the Fiat Lux, and bet this one will be great. Can't go wrong with CH/AP.

Thank you for sharing. I see you've been a Bum for quite awhile, and I hope to see what you're smoking more often.

My grandfather served in the Korean War. He's been dead now for almost 20 years, though I was able to get some of his official military records. He was 101st Airborne and a tractor operator, I believe.

I can't post pictures and had a little confrontation with someone here years ago. I belong to 2 other forums that I've bought, sold and traded with, even some BOLT's here I'll share my last 2 day's of smokes:

Celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday because my wife is working today. Started the day off with a couple cups of coffee and a :

Ave Maria Divinia Toro Tubo (wooden coffin) (6 x 54, NIC)

Dug deep for an oldie, Hoping it's as good as I remember the last one was that I smoked at least 2 years ago. Going to have a couple of glasses of home made Dego red wine with a:

Gran Habano/ Rico Family S.T.K. Black Dahlia Robusto (5 x 52, HON)

Amazing what you will find when you dig down deep in the coolidors, A Blanco Cigar Co. product. Believe I have them since 2017. Firing up an:

American Legion Gran Toro (6 x 60, NIC)

Anyone know if they are still in production?



Friday's cigars:


Rainy, sleeting, snowy, windy day in NE Pa. today, not a great day in the garage for smoking!!! But onward and smokey.

Torano Vault Blend A-008 Robusto (5 x 52, NIC)

It was a awesome smoke with a cup of coffee, tasted like Anisette Liqueur. Give one a try.

Espinosa Habano Toro (6 x 52, NIC)

Love Erik's blends (Almost as much as A.J.'s) a chocolate treat I wish I had it with a stout beer instead of the Dego red wine.

Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Norteno Corona Extra (4.75 x 48, NIC)

Just finishing this classic up now, After dinner with a cup of coffee. End of a perfect day. Other then the weather!!

ACE Prime Cigar MXS Signature Dominique Wilkins (6.5 x 54, NIC)
ACE Prime Cigar MXS Signature Tiago Splitter Toro (6.5 x 54, NIC)
ACE Prime Cigar Pichardo Clasico Maduro Toro BP (6.5 x 50, NIC)
ACE Prime Cigar Pichardo Reserva Familiar Habano Toro (6 x 52, NIC)

The American Legion cigar sounds interesting. Not sure if I've had a Blanco Cigar Co. stick. Their Above And Beyond Heros line looks pretty gimmicky, and the ring gauged are bigger than I prefer. What other lines are worth checking out?
