Thanks @815DC! This one was pretty good for a mild cigar

From Senor Craig liquidating friend. Still has a lot of pop to it.

Caminos from 2015. From what Cesar (owner of the brand told me) this cigar has a different binder from what’s on the market now. I’m gonna assume that these were some test blends laying around, slapped a band on it, and decided to do a release. Anyways it’s phenomenal.

Christian firing on all cylinders. Still prefer his father & brother’s Aladino. I could smoke those every damn day.

Viva La Vida Diadema made by AJ. Little back story on the brand, these guys used to own Cigar Inn on 2nd Ave in NYC. Got bought out by Casa de Mon a few years ago. These dudes are rocking right now. This diadema was exceptional — true medium-bodied, smooth. Nice notes of spice, wood, touch of leather. After I smoked this one, I tried the robusto. Not a fan. Full bodied, up-front pepper. Turned me off. Now I have 3 that I’m just going to wind up sitting on for the next couple of months.

Jon Huber was right in his description of this cigar: peanut butter. Great morning cigar.

La Galera Maduro in Toro size. Love this cigar, but in the 46 rg. It was good, but nowhere near the 46 level. GREAT PRICE POINT!

Great blend of a touch of spice, creamy and nutty.

I take flak for those, but they are my go to conny stick. Also 5 packs can be had for $10 or less on cbid.

They dropped a maduro recently, but budget and space are preventing me making a move.

Also the pouch of john bull ‘english’ pipe tobacco is good. A nice toe dip into the world of English blends I imagine. Can be had for $1-3 on cbid.

Well, as is too often the case, there's no power today - which makes it significantly more difficult for my son to do online school. So, we're back to basics with paper and pencil. Figured I'd have this La Palina from @Zedman05 (Thanks man!). It's early but this is much calmer, sweeter, and better behaved than I remember. Off to an exceptional start.

Welp…
With the cold weather here my days of enjoying the finery of a John Bull or dare I says something even classier are pretty much over until the myth that is Illinois Spring arrives.

Some photos of what I have been puffing through on the outside porch this month. Sam Houston from Fincks, a Factory Throwout sweet from JC Newman and a Travis Club Maduro Rothschild also from Fincks. All machine made with the Factory Throwout I think made in Florida at the Newman facility. The Fincks stuff wasn't too bad and the Factory Throwout wasn't bad either. Look nothing is gonna be lights out and that is kinda the point. I don't want to put a higher end stick out after 1/3 or 1/2 because I'm too cold.

Yes, another Aladino corojo. Hotdamn do I love this cigar!
Fantastic cigar. Fantastic price point.
So my cousin went to Cuba for “business”. He visit a couple of farms, and brought back bundles of what I deem to be a Laguito size. The roller left an unbelievable shag on the foot. I think the name is Alejandro Glez. Anyways, this cigar was absolutely phenomenal. It was still a little wet; could’ve spent a few more weeks in the humidor. Flavor wise very creamy with a nice spice on the retrohale. From what I remember in the first-third, there was this predominantly grassy note that reminded me of fresh cut grass. I hope my cousin ages them properly. He’s just giving them out like their candy. He’s heading down next month, I’ll tell him to get me a bundle.

You mean, like this one ?
Alex Gonzalez is "Alex Glez" on FB. He is the roller at the Comodoro. This was the cigar I put in the pass.
He makes all kinds of sizes -
Corona, Sig IV (Canonazo), Lonsdale (Dalia), Laguito No.2, Robusto and Churchill.
Glad you liked it, my favorite roller blend, by far. These are the bundles I pick up every time I visit Cuba.

I have been smoking these a lot lately. Just perfectly in my wheel house. I would take these over most cigars twice the price.
