What's your latest NC purchase?

[alkiviadis]

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.

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.

Many thanks for coming back to me - and sorry to hear you didn’t like them! I’ve got more than enough to smoke so I’ll give these a wide berth…

This thing had so many boxes it was like a Russian doll. Pretty cool pick up but like CC LE’s not sure if it’s worth $50 a stick but most of that is in the packaging.

I know exactly what you mean, I picked up the Opus22 collection and it was box after box…

Never tried the original which I think was a Hawaii exclusive, but might just go for one ROTT. Not sure what to make of it, but I know Kyle said the original was the strongest cigar he had ever made. He also said the Nicotina was strong which was a medium at most IMO.

P.S I guess I have never posted a pic here. Do you actually have to post a URL to show a pic on this site?

No you don't but it's a great help for our members when you have an acquisition, for example. Simply upload an image in a JPEG or PNG format and it will upload fine. Otherwise, I will happily convert an HEIC upload and re-upload them on your behalf, as I did for your post above.

Stopped by my local B&M just to look. Right.

Sweet. Thank you. I thought I uploaded it as a jpeg.

Warped La Colmena No. 44 - these are flat out excellent and are Cubanesque, I had my first one this weekend and ordered another box at the 2/3 mark.

It has been along time since any Black Honeys were made and they are pretty hard to come by now.

I liked it, smoked it with pleasure.

La colmena looks great. I hope that someday I have an opportunity to try those.

Yes, I contemplate that I will smoke this cigar and have it reviewed on my 2022 Smoking Diary by the end of next week.

Picked up a box of the Cavalier Geneve White Series Lanceros. First box of NC's, definitely branching out more to NC's at the minute.

I have a box of the black series lanceros.  Truly delicious.  A bit strong on my palate (as in I can taste it the next day), but some seriously good flavors that I've yet to experience from Cuban tobacco. Coffee and desert rolled into a cigar.  Curious how the white series is.  Love the Cavalier Geneve packaging, too.
