Self control is beginning to wane again I guess.

I'm a huge L'Atelier/Tat/Surrogates fan, so that is primarily what I picked up. Got my first pack of Travailleurs, 5 Lat lanceros, 5 Surrogates Tramp Stamps (I really should have bought a box - I absolutely love these), 5 L'Atelier Côte d' Or (very excited to try these!), 5 Lat 38SS, a Surrogates Satin Glove, and a random Inca "Secret Blend". Oh, and one each of the new Viaje Chicharrones.
The Inca I bought just out of curiosity - it is a Peruvian puro. I don't think I've ever smoked Peruvian tobacco, so no idea what to expect. Just figured I'd give one a shot.
Okay... now back to NOT buying cigars.
You may I think, be quite surprised, in a good way/in a bad way with that Peruvian Puro.Quote:

By the way that's a fine looking selection of L'atelier,Tatuaje and Surrogates...Happy smoking.
You may regret only getting one pack of the travailleurs. I need to smoke another to be sure, but I think I might like them better than the cracker crumbsQuote:

Awesome, thanks! Looking forward to trying the Inca Peruvian puro - it's been quite a while in my cigar smoking journey that I can say that something is truly completely new to me. Going to let it rest a bit and try it out. I did some research, and apparently these Peruvian cigars have become very popular in the UK.Quote:

I will definitely be keeping a pack around at all times. I plan to pick up a pack of Cracker Crumbs as well, but these are great!Quote:

And his take on the how the cigar smoked and tasted are pretty much the way I recall the cigars being, strength was about on par with Cubans of that period. Just may have to find one see how this later version matches my memory of the ones I had. In trying to find a Peruvian i have smoked two, sometime ago, that claimed to have Peruvian wrappers. Not worth the matches used to ignite them. The wrapper may've been Peruvian, but whatever that wrapper cloaked was low grade indeed.Quote:
