Yes, another creation from our very own @Stewmuse . But notice the date on the band; this smoke is only a month old and it tastes as good or better than a lot other sticks out there. Bravo Michael, bravo.

The burn's a little wonky on this one, but this is all that is good and holy in a cigar...

Last nights Delight.
Vegas Robaina Farmie '12.
This one was heads and shoulders above the fresh cigar. Good construction, good burn, good flavors. This one was a little bit creamier...not a lot, spicy cinamon and ashen tobacco. Straight forward cigar, nothing life changing, or mind changing. I still will refrain from buying any of these. Just not any better than regular production stuff.
The one thing that made it better; the person who gifted it to me at the herf 2 weeks ago was able to do a google hangout so we could smoke and compare at the same time....just like a couple guys I know who run a podcast about cigars *insert random podcast name here*

Here is another review. I'm practicing so that when I get my un-banded cigars for the blind review pass, I will be ready.

Casa Trompeta Nicaraguan

Starts off medium bodied with some nice creamy nutty flavors. The draw is good. It has some red pepper on the retrohale. Starting the second third, the flavors are remaining consistent. I've noticed a little spice on the back of my throat. Probably the red pepper I was picking up in the retrohale. I've got to say, this cigar has a great room aroma. I'm smoking outside on my balcony and, just the little bit of smoke that drifts off the foot of the cigar into my nose between puffs is great! I like the rich nutty flavors balanced with just a hint of spice presented in this cigar. I don't have the blend sheet handy but I'm wondering if this has corojo tobacco in the blend. That aroma I'm getting off the foot as well as the light red pepper somewhat reminds me of the CAO corojo (I hope that doesn't offend you Mike). The finial third: the flavors are still consistent. The body had picked up to a medium plus. The flavor is beginning to turn slightly bitter, which tells me it's almost time to set this smoke down. I have really enjoyed this cigar! Mike, you are on to something great! Keep it up.

Ladt nights Delight.
Tatuaje TAA 2014
Damn good smoke ! These are smoking like the 2011's were fresh, but with less mineral flavor. I would definitely recommend these by the box.

Been running all day thus far. Feel a sore throat coming on, so I have to smoke all I can this afternoon....starting with a Luis Sanchez creation that is drastically different from his own lines. The Santos de Miami, in a lovely lancero....
