No one suggested ERDM Demi Tasse? Not that I am but thought that was the occasion for them. Personally I go for a Davidoff Nicaragua Primeros with a Piccolo.

I'm big on the ninfa in the morning too! I gotta get wild and try the Churchill soon

I'm a complete coffee snob (pour over every morning), and I agree, Nespresso really does make a good cup for how easy it is

This sounds amaaaaaaazing

Coffee enthusiasts might disagree, but I can’t recommend the Nespresso machines enough. Similarly easy to a Keurig, wildly better coffee. Its the first real successful example of the razor / razor blade business model I’ve seen in my own life.

I’ll take them lol

Sounds like they found a fall guy to keep the back/side doors open. Cheers!

Never tried them, but I definitely will next time I'm headed that far up! Bit of a commute from Raleigh. Pipe and Pint has some other locations near there, don't they?

Great reviews, thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of this particular NC & can confirm that they age very well, too.

Nudies ninfa or Churchill !

Aladino Vintage Selection Elegante (Lancero) Hooray for skinnies! Honduran filler, not sure but probably Corojo. Evidently a Corojo binder too, but this particular line of Aladino has a Honduran Habano wrapper, not utilized in their other lines. They say the original Vintage Rothchild cigars were rolled in 2015 and 2016, and that there might’ve been additional aging of the leaf before rolling. I’m intrigued. Not sure when the lanceros were rolled. The lancero and toro were introduced a year after the Rothschild, in May 2021. Presumably still aged as long, hence the name, but who knows. Cold draw: berries, tart cream, wood. The opening has excellent notes of pecan and toast, some kind of dried fruit or berry, can’t tell yet. Creamy texture, and also some great caramel crème flavor. Really liking the beginning of this. Moving on, slightly over-toasted marzipan. There is also a funky cheese note, and a whisps of mushroom. Honestly, this has some very small reminiscence to LGC Medaille d’Or, the king of skinnies. It’s not quite that level, but shares some DNA. Just a touch more cocoa sweetness than I typically get in an MdO. Very creamy texture. The ash seems to have a mind of its own, which I’m used to with this size. 2nd third continues down the funk train with nutty cheeses and mushroom. Such a creamy texture, and loads of smoke output. This is turning out to be one of the better NC lanceros I have smoked. Actually, it’s turning out to be one of the best lanceros I have smoked, regardless of origin. Still not ranking up there with my MdO’s, but much more than just a stand-in, nonetheless. Around the middle I get a bit of leather, some coriander and spiced orange cake. Maybe a hint of pepper, which dies away quickly. Many of the flavor notes in that first half have been subtle, could be easily overpowered if drinking anything strong or bitter with it. Perhaps even coffee, though this might couple really well with a flat white. No nicotine kick to speak of, somewhere under medium in the strength category. I often hear people say they won’t smoke lanceros and skinnies, because they have to “nurse” them to get the depth of flavor. In this case, it’s well worth the finicky temperament. In the last act, some mild pepper makes its way into the mix again, for just a touch of heat on top of the savory notes already playing on my palate and in the nose. Also a little bit more caramel crème, with a dash of hazelnuts. Just the right touch of anise joins the mix, too. This is rounding out to be a great smoking experience, and I won’t hesitate to add more of these to my pile. Great stuff here! 92 from me.

I can't fault any of the above! Under an hour: Monte 4, MOFOH Sovereign Sun or a Nudies Ninfa. Locked into morning zooms: San Cristobal Fuerza, Sainl Luis Rey Regio, Nudies Churchill.

No Change. US Shipments suspended as International Couriers cease shipping to USA. This could take a month to sort out so hold tight US brethren 😉 UK/EU/Canada/Middle East and Asian members…make hay while the sun shines! It feels like we are working in a parallel 2424 universe whereas once upon a time things sold out in a few hours as we work well in Asia/North America time zones, now they are selling out overnight (UK/EU/ME timezones). We are working hard behind the scenes to have a shopping cart up and running. I will keep you in the loop. What has been a recent hit has been the Vintage Box Drop. I hope you are enjoying them!

I use to smoke the real good stuff on the course but noticed I'm more concerned about cigar than the game. Now it's different

Event 1: - Jays - 1 - no Event 2: - Ravens - Bills - Ravens. Good luck all!

Sure makes you wonder how they survive day to day.

THIS!

P2 and a cup of black coffee from my shitty Keurig machine. Ideal way to get thru the overseas call every AM.

Definitely humidor worthy, but given the current pricing structure not at all in the value range.

Rafael Gonzalez Petit Coronas or Perlas

My vote is for the Cohiba V not only because I like the vitola but it is a great cigar. I was able to obtain some in 2020 while in Havana and have rarely see them for sale since. The Party E2 is good but the V is great.
