Inspired by @X-Man’s epic haul, it was an E2 today. Alas, this had a really problematic burn and continually tunnelled, requiring a lot of re-lighting. Shame, because the leaf is good, and the rest of this MSU 18 box has been excellent. This was the mid-way cigar, number 13 out of 25, so perhaps that is the unlucky reason…

Seldom heard E2 has problematic burn… too wet ?

My first, it was great 

Nice! Can't wait to get my first order... Then wait five years to smoke one. 😭

Just an isolated case of bad construction I think. Well acclimatised, around 62RH / 62F and similar to the rest of my stock. First one to have this problem.

Great kicks and great cigar. I am not really a shoe person, but the school I root for always has amazing Jordans in their colorways. Hoping I can somehow luck into the Marquette Luka 1's somehow. Due to my wife being awesome, I do have a pair of the Air Jordan 1 Mid in "Marquette."

Those are really nice.  Unfortunately, I have really wide feet that will never fit into 1's.  I only fit into 4's.  Possibly 5's too, but I like 4's better so I never bothered trying on 5's.  I really want the Travis Scott 4's, but the ones with the Nike logo on the back of the right shoe instead of the jump man.  But like you, those are a little more than I want to pay.  Especially in size 12.  One day, I may break down and get the ones with the jump man on the back, but that would mean I have totally given up hope.  😂

Having this fairly young Corona. It's far and away my favorite QDO. The 50 and 54 are too light and I hate the 54 size. This vitola is much richer and I'd give this one 94 points. I'm getting sweet spice and coffee creme. Every one from this box has been a banger!

Robaina famosos slightly underfilled but wonderful 

unfortunately the last stick I’ve

Nudie 2021 N1 Colorado Rosado. My first of the bundle. Coldish ‘pre-spring’ day here in London, but lovely clear skies and sunshine. Always makes a smoke more enjoyable.

First off, a perfect draw. Now, how come Habanos can’t get this right on USD70 a stick Lanceros? Hmm? And the whole burn was perfect. Great long ash, no worrying about the damn cigar, just enjoyment.

Cold draw was quite light, a little barnyard and hay, some oatiness. Colour was not what I would call rosado, but I’m not eating the colour so I don’t much care.

Flavour was a lovely, mild (to start with) Upmann-esque nutty milky herbal twang. Touch of vegetal, grainy sweetness. You know, Cuban cigar flavour, in the lighter register.

Then I just enjoyed it. Marvelled at the long curly ash. Smoked it faster or slower as I pleased. Did some reading and work. Enjoyed the gentle ramp in flavour and a little bit of spicy punch coming into the last third. The alas I ran out of time.

A very, very promising start for this bundle, and a giant middle-finger salute to Habanos.

Atabey Divinos.  Excellent

MC Dbl. Edmundo EOT May 17 (from our gracious host!) paired with 2020 Firestone Walker (FW) Anniversary, and a 2019 FW Sucaba Barleywine. It was a great 2hr night 👍

From sat - N1. Yesterday it was pouring and cold so no chance.  Today nice BRC. 

[DOYLE]

@Boxer31 That BRC looks good. I have a box tucked away resting. How was it?

These Hidalgos  have changed dramatically in one years time. The cherry, chocolate and almond flavor  is superb

Very good, down to only couple left in the box. All have been solid.

Run through most of their lines in the past 9 months and they are pretty solid.  Very smooth.

Superbowl party stogies..... Or, as @shokao would say "Handegg bowl party stogies". A 2021 MC PE that had a slight wrapper crack and needed to be smoked (amazing).....and..... Drumroll...... A media Luna from a 2020 box I have been resting.... This is my first real Trinidad experience and it was great.
