What's your latest NC purchase?

Ongoing research. Never smoked a Caldwell in my life. JSK Red Night Lonsdales and assorted Caldwell Coronas. Because why not?

Just got home to these…

The Weekend Sports Bet winnings and some Palate Killer Gang bangers. You know I’m smoking the N5 ROTT! 🙂 

Edit: 15 minutes in, for me, this is already better ROTT than the 30 day Lonsdale. Probably due to the age?

I really like those Cromagnon Gran Perfectos. I do not smoke slowly, but they take me a good 2.5 hours. Highly recommend letting em sit for a bit as mine have shown a lot of improvement 6 months +

Roma Craft is one of my top three favorite manufacturers. Aganorsa and Tatuaje are the other two, thought in no particular order. I think LFD and JdN (Antaño only though!) would round out my top five. I mostly smoke the Neanderthal HNs. I will heed your words thought as I have too many cigars that have been waiting to go for awhile now. 🙂

@Capn_Jackson if you like those mild cigars and haven’t yet tried AG cigars, you should look them up. The Ambassador is a really good cigar. It’s not rolled at ETdB like the Warped are, but it was blended by Alejandro González.

A few Fabrica5 samplers: Lonsdale, Churchill, Fat Fundy. Will light up a Churchill ROTT 💨

Picked up fiver of the OGTxPaul Stulac Heavy Hitter (we’ll see - testing soon with the PKG 🙂) and the last 8 M81 Lanceros my “supplier” had.

Joined the Privada cigar of the month club and got some fun little items. Since I missed the Tatuaje Monster releases by not paying attention, these will have to do for my seasonally themed NC smokes. I will probably drop this subscription as I don't fully trust their rebranding, but it was amusing to try once.

If you're looking for a CotM shipper, Stogiebird comes highly recommended. Small Batch does one, but i believe there is a waiting list. Ezra Zion is worth looking at, but like Privada you may need more tongue in your cheek.

Stopped in to grab a couple Padrón 4000s and lo and behold…🙂

Ordered a few days ago, now finally arrived, and, of course, smoking one ROTT…the Paul Stulac Blue Lightning Sky Katman Edition, 10ct.

Edit: After smoking one…a really good cigar. Fully rolled/no soft spots with a really dark wrapper. Slightly wonky burn during the first third, but perfect after that until finished. A bready, raisin cold draw and a peppery, somewhat spicy, and faint cinnamon smoke, until about halfway, when the dark chocolate (read, not sweet) kicked in. Quite nice ROTT.

Saw these pop up and they were not too expensive. Have heard great things about previous versions.  Here's to hoping these ones are as good. They smell excellent. Will rest them for a few weeks and then give one a try.

Recent purchase just came in today! MOFOH Robusto Trinity. This is a big purchase for me when it comes to New world cigars. Typically I buy singles. Smoked one ROTT, now gonna let em acclimate for 30 days in the humidor then try another! Thanks MOFOH!

Not bad @aarond
