Bit of a bummer. I thought Cubans were the ones with the bad rep for construction. Or is 65 F and 65 rh not friends to NCs?

What was the temp outside?

It’s cool here (Toronto) today. Around 22C not humid at all either.

In my experience Fuentes have the highest rate of plugged/overpacked cigars in the New World space. They really strive to put the maximum amount of tobacco in each roll. They even brag about how they use the old-school Cuban rolling style (entubado) for all their blends which frequently leads to Cuban-like outcomes apparently!

Fat Fundy I won in a review competition.  Was damaged in shipping.  Somehow still a nice smoke.

No explanation then 

I have had that happen to me in Canada/Europe/China when my very comfortable 65/65 cigar hits a 30/30 F (1 C/30 RH) environment. Your situation doesn't reflect that environment however.

Very nice.  Can you please let me know where you purchased the 109 box?

TIA

Sorry that’s only 1 stick left from launching event in May. Hopefully we can buy it officially later. Very nice.

La Trova was sublime! Cigar of the month for Sept, I can’t imagine anything would beat it. 
La Colmena black honey. I was disappointed. Definitely can’t understand the hype or the price. 
 

Had one last week and it was outstanding as usually. Trova is a top 5 cigar for me.

Had a nice chilly smoke at Ashford Castle in Ireland last week.

Truly a wonder spot.

Last night's VI (2018) & now with a HDM Rio Seco (UAB SEP18). Both from our gracious host.

GLE MAR 2021 Topes orange dot.  Pinched the pigtail to no avail. Slight v cut and now the draw is loose. So far, it is a buttery, salty smoke with wood and earth tones. Slight coffee here and there. Burn is a tad wonky, but nothing that has needed correcting, yet.

Rio Seco that unwrapped itself in the final third 😖 

[chasy]

What is the green dot, red dot, orange dot?

GEM Connie 1 very flavorful

Don’t know why it looks like a Half Corona. The cigar is actually bigger in real life.
