These have been some of my favorite NCs and really get better with time.

What kind of flavors do you get from these? How strong are they?

I just had my first daughters of the wind and in my estimate they are not strong at all.  I actually wish the flavors were more pronounced but they are incredibly complex and I am likely just not that sophisticated.  Very warm flavors, toasty, malt, graham and kind of felt like I was eating a warm brownie.  Very good cigar, but for my money I would trend toward a sin compromiso.  The flavors seemed more pronounced with a very similar nicotine load. 

The Bespoke was my third cigar of the day so it was likely muted because of that.  It's a wonderful cigar, just wanted more of a flavor hit and so I will try it again.  Both are amazing and I would smoke them any day.

Tried an alma fuerte that was gifted and swiftly bought a box.  Work of Art is my pool go to for the summer.

How’s the nicotine level on the Fuertes?

@therealrsr thanks so much for the detailed review my friend and your dogs are gorgeous. Sounds like I need to give this a try. Perhaps a different size?

Couple things came in while I was camping.  Fat bottom Betty toro box of 10 and a 10 pack of 601 blues, really loved the blues when I was smoking years ago will be interested to see how they are now.

FEB-20 Half box of RC223’s 

Picked up a few yesterday. Capas from 2015 and Black labels from 2016. Love them both and with a few years on each, I couldn’t pass up grabbing some.

NO DOUBT!! There was about a half box left of them... I might need to go back and snag the rest.  So smooth and delicious. Minimal pepper. Baking spices, some molasses, florals. Pure deliciousness.

I really enjoyed the single I had of these from a local B&M, so I decided to grab a box.

In case the two bands and the ribbon wasn't enough they added a sticker outside the cellophane as well!

Those are very tasty. I’ve tried both the robusto and toro sizes, and for some reason the robusto is better. Richer. Enjoy!

These are my favorite NC’s. Hope the new batches live up to the hype.

My B&M texted me and said they had my Father's Day present waiting. So I booked on over and.....I'm a very happy Dad! 😁

EP Carillos age as well as any CC.   As they are priced like PDS4, nothing wrong with stashing away some boxes.

the corona is very good, i get a banana aroma/flavor that i've never experienced in any cigar. i also bought a box of the lonsdales:

not really a fan of the box lid/hinge, but whatever. i hope these are as good as the coronas, but i'm sure they will be.

ima fan of the dougle ligero lfds ........i think they will be phenomenal aged...i have a few stashed away that i plan to revisit  in about 10 yrs lol 

The pick of the litter is the chisels--more concentrated and benefits the most from aging imho.

I recently enjoyed one of the these but to my tastes the Call to Arms was a more unique and better flavored, and more complex smoke.  Call to Arms has some honey attributes to it and a softly burnt toast that I have only ever reall found in the CORO.  I’m not saying it’s a CORO but there were similarities and they don’t cost me a ring finger and half a grand to purchase

the Construction on all Stolen Crown offerings has been fabulous, although they tend to smoke faster than normal but that doesn’t ruin the experience for me.  No wind tunnels here, very cubanesque draw.
