Not exactly bought recently .... but just found today in my lockers : Trinidad Fundadores EL NOSU ( El Laguito OCT 1998 ) bought in 2006 in Switzerland. Placed inside my lowest locker and to

I haven't posted in here for quite some time and thought that it would be nice to share some vintage cigars that just came in. I like to collect and smoke as many different vitolas de salida as possib

I don’t normally post my purchases but, aside from the Nudies bundles I ordered, the Lanceros will probably be the last cigars I receive for a while. The other two are highlights from my last few orde

San Juan's around 5-6 years is when they really shine.  Finished a 2015 box last summer, almost all winners.  Just started diving into my 2016 box, and again, winners.  Bland is not how I would ever describe them. Heavy sweet cream at 5 years.   Enjoy!
Did a review of them at 4 years. 
 

How do you compare to the rio seco ?

I am with @havanaclub. How do they compare with Rio Seco? I bought a box but have yet to try; still too young.

Others will have to weigh in here.  I will never smoke that cigar.  52 is really my limit.  SJ and the Leyanda are my only exceptions.

I just received a box of J Lopez S2 that has the lid of the SLB the "other way round" (same as the BBF). The stickers make it obvious that it wasn't the FOH crew who put it back wrongly. Which got me thinking - has the direction of the word on the lids always been interchangeable (and I simply did not notice before)? Or is there a set formula (e.g. BBF is always "upside down", Mag46 is always "right side up")? Just Cuba being Cuba?

@Devo what did you think? I smoked one and was pleasantly surprised.  

@StogieSteve23 I thought it great!  It was my first Mag 46 so nothing else for me to compare it to but... the burn was great and the flavors were very yummy (lemon zest at first then spices and earthy for the last 1/2).  It probably helped that I set my expectations low too, ha!

HAHA! Smoked one out of the NOV box other day just to give it a try and was very pleased.  It was slightly underfilled, but far better than being too packed in my opinion.  Easy to draw and nice nutty/creamy/slight floral flavors.

Nice pickups B-Rad! Showing some heat there. 

Have a box of Mag 46 BRE OCT 18...fingers crossed
