Roma Craft Intemperance EC XVIII AWS IV. Like the size and I am liking all the Roma Crafts I have tried lately. Got a bonus Avowed The Vow. Know nothing about this brand. 

Brother you are you going to love the vow. I’m not super familiar either. Just know it’s straight pretzels on the palate.

It was a solid cigar that I would revisit.

Are these the 12 or the 10 guage variety? Supposedly full bodied, but without fail, every 12 guage version I’ve smoked hasn’t been as strong (“Full Strength” 😆) as the Viaje propaganda implied. Smoking mostly lighter cigars would probably give these a “fuller strength” perception though...I did just get a local shot to set aside five of the 10 gauge for me to pick up this evening. Guess I’ll find out myself. 

The 2025 Full Moon I had the other day, however, did leave a “strong” impression on me. 🙂

Edited to add the 10 guage photo. Closed foot, so a soft light to start with these for sure:

I picked up some Oz Family cigars - the OG Nicaraguan MAS Robusto - on the cheap this past week. We’ll see…

Breaking one in after dryboxing overnight and all day today:

 

Turned out to be a really good first cigar; earthy, nutty, and a hint of cinnamon. No complexity here, flavors didn’t fluctuate between thirds, and it was actually a medium to just shy of being a full strength cigar. Based on a singular cigar, this was a pretty good buy!

Some recent buys - I know I’ve mentioned before how much (and why) I enjoy Mexican tobacco. The fiver on the left is Casa Turrent 1942 Double Robusto and on the right is the Casa Turrent 1901 Double Robusto. The lower middle cigars are the Crowned Heads Juarez Shotz - MSA wrapped, of course!
