Happy Birthday Lisa!!

Happy Birthday Rob!

I was lucky to pick up some Encantos this year, and I smoked 2 of them in 2024. They were both so mild and sweet that I slurped them down very quickly. Each is memorable. To borrow a term from our beloved @JohnS' smoking diary describing this very cigar, I am "singing from the same song sheet" as @JY0. The other standout was a dark-wrappered LTO DIC 20 Siglo VI. Each of the first two cigars from this box had been muddled in flavor, due in my opinion to the youthful discord between the dark wrapper and the lighter flavor notes for which Cohiba is known. Luckily, this third one seemed to have outgrown its youth and was delivering incredible complexity. On the one hand, the wrapper tasted like dark chocolate, coffee, and prunes. On the other hand, the blend delivered classic light honey and grassiness. What a treat! It is unexpected and can really blow your mind when a cigar delivers such complexity puff after puff.

Congrats @Ford2112!

This guy is insane, he could be a top 5 edge rusher in the NFL.

EBP has been a fantastic code this year. Those punch will be great!

And how is it?!

Thanks for all the work you have put into this, @LizardGizmo. Such a great resource 💪 🏆

Is this a mis-stamped PTG box code? Cabinet sourced here on FOH. Haven't seen PIG before...

Didn't know that, thanks.

@JohnS Your reviews are wonderful as always and I'm excited every time when I see the notification that you've written some more. Thanks to you and @99call, another bona fide fan of this diary, for acclaiming Sancho Panza. It's such a great brand and has become one of my very favorites in the last year or so.

Great review of this cigar. Padron should hire you, John!

The font and spacing of the numbers on the serial code actually look off to me as well.

Hope you enjoy it when you do smoke one!
