90 days?  C'monnnn smoke one of the Pony Express and let us know what you think 😉

I share your sense of urgency.  That's the tough thing with hot or in this case Limited Edition cigars - by the time you smoke one they're all gone if you want more.  I did some research into Casdagli before I bought and even he says to "please rest your cigars before smoking them".  Pretty unusual for a NC blender to say that.  I'll give them 30 days and then smoke one and report back.  Already at 9 days - only 21 left to wait....

Picked these up at a Fuente charity event in PA last week.

Hope you enjoy it when you do smoke one!

Anyone ever heard of Casdagli? I think Casdagli - Daughter of the Winds “Pony Express” box pressed is really astonishing!! I was smacked and couldn’t believe how good it is considering nobody ever talked about the brand and how inexpensive the brand is….I would say flavor profile is up on par with cigar double or triple its price and it burns perfectly straight as an arrow…You should try it… Excuse the short ash on the picture, I just dropped it typing this post…

I've burned through a handful of these myself. Great cigar!

Love the Frank but then I am partial to that line. Have a half coffin left

I’m partial as well. The OG Frank came out right when I was introduced to cigars and I thought the whole concept was awesome. So the whole monster series has a special place for me

Picked up a few singles at the local B&M. I've neve smoked one of these CAO brazils so I figured why not. Painted for a friend of mine who paid me in cash, then gave me a telecaster. Good day today!

Lovely surprise to come home to two packages delivered early. 

MOHFO Spada - looks great. Darker than my usual smoke. Excited to try a 2nd FOH cigar after my nudie lancero experience.

Dream Hunter and Miami cigars - From Kyle Gellis/warped. Both rolled at El Titan de Bronze (my fave little boutique). The Miami is a great lighter cubanesque smoke. They will be super after a few years based on my experience smoking 2. Hopefully I'm right. No clue what the dream hunter will bring. 

I love opening a package of new cigars. So fun.

Received these beauties from our gracious host.

Technically didn't buy these since I was invited to the event, but this is the haul from the Big Smoke in Las Vegas. Going to every booth to get every single cigar wasn't in my game plan but my friends were jazzed about that - so we did it.  Quite a haul.  I know many of the names but not all but only smoke My Father, Tatuaje, Padron and a couple of others when not smoking CCs.

Read a great review on the Guardian of the Farm, Apollo 6" x 44 so bought a box and a fiver.  Smoked one ROTT and as usual - the first half was great but the back half was too wet and got tired of the relights.  If the first half is any indication, I think these will be in my NC wheelhouse and > 90 points when properly rested.

Cotton tail is even better than Pony ex 

My last cotton tail had 12mths age on it and the strength had increased. Great smoke. You'd swear it was Cuban.
