What's your latest NC purchase?

[Edicion]

Good little cigar. I like this 48 RG and decent length, it has a good feel to it when I hold it.

Bought some NC singles to try. Used some suggestions from the NC discussion.

There was a sale too good to pass up and had to pick these up.

We may have taken advantage of the same sale! I got a box of Dominicana Robusto.

Nice selection. All the Casdagli look incredible. Haven’t had any yet.

Thanks 
I’ve never tried them before. They seemed to get a bunch of mentions in the Favorite NC thread.

Everything from Casdagli/Bespoke is outstanding IMO.

One thing I can appreciate about some of the NC makers is that they seem to be making an effort with their lancero or panetela vitolas.

The problem is no one has a standard size for "lancero." You'll see everything from like 5.5-7.5 inches long and 30s to low 40s RG.

I have had good experiences with the Pepin Garcia line in lanceros...as I recall more of a true lancero format (long and skinny). With lanceros being so hard to source in the CC world I have been considering trying a box. On the rare occasion I go into a U.S. B&M retailer or lounge, I usually will get a My Father lancero.

Bought a couple tabernacles. Most recent smoke was an AVO intermezzo. First time I had that and really enjoyed it.

I’ve never had one. Saw a few reviews from Cuban smokers saying they were very good. 
I’ll break one out in a week or two.

I missed that one! Don't see that too often!

[sluttynugget]

I just bought some padron 2000s, really love it but its getting harder to find them as well...

 

[nKostyan]

Would be very interested to hear how you get on with these - been thinking about getting a few in to try although heard mixed reviews

I didn't like any of these cigars. Most had a poor balance (lack of taste). 107 Maduro was just terrible - very resinous and bitter.

These look like they needed a good home, so I gave them one.

Finally tried an Oliva Melanio after dragging my feet on them. Nice solid cigar. Also picked up an Illusione hl (original documents lancero), really looking forward to trying it.

Smoked a Davidoff 2022 Limited Edition last week. Decent cigar, not great. I'm starting to feel like Davidoffs really need time down or special treatment storage wise. Best one I've had is one that I had in the humidor for about 18 months. Everything that I've tried from the store or shortly after purchase has just been okay.
