Nice. I got a few of those left. Probably 5 years old at this point. I was never able to light one up that tasted as good as my first that I received in a trade. Maybe time to revisit the box.

This had great construction too, draw can be tight on these but this smoked like a creamy dream, dare I say even nicer than a lovely caramel PLPC I had recently, well it smelt better anyway.

Unusually warm weekend for this time of year in Central WA. Next week overnights will be in the teens. I am sure this was my last round in shorts until March....But if the course is open, I will play.

I gotta get me a cab of the PLPC. I picked up a few sixers here and there. Especially now that the HUPC is discontinued, I need some caramel in my diet. They are quite good. Rob had one up last night, but I’ve spent by cigar budget for the month.

My usual supplier just sold out of these, I had them in the shopping cart all week. I'll get more DTs now. Time to try another guy.

A splendid Padron 64, my first Principe, a beautiful smoke with perfect construction and a great combo of the earthy, peppery zing and fullish strength of a NC with the sweet desert-like flavours of a CC.

I really should get a strap for my LVc, think the green line on the black RubberB is the one for me but that full green - Everest? - looks good too, esp out on the greens.

Hey Neil, yes sir, Everest. Good eyes. Wore it on this all summer. Great summer golf watch on the rubber.

That’s an Ernie blend. The first Crowned Heads cigar. Try to score some of the Mule Kick - a slightly stronger more flavorful version...

Thank you. This was part of a large sampler with some Crowned Heads too. I will look and see if a Mule Kick is in there. I hope so as I generally prefer stronger smokes.

Hell Yeah. Don Pepin is my favorite cigar maker for 20+ years. All the way back to when he was still in Miami. Always have a box of original blue labels in the humi. Series JJ as well.

A recent triple 8, weather is getting too cold for these long smokes, or cultivating a nice long ash on them.

This is the 2020 Mule Kick. It’s outstanding.

Try the maduro. It’s a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper which has a very unique flavor.

He still bounces back and forth and they have a distribution and sales office there. Some manufacturing gets done in Miami for some lines also.

The new MF Fonseca is really nice.

Thanks, I will try those. He does some great Maduro smokes. The Enclave is excellent and the Belles Artes Maduro is even better. I pretty much love everything he makes, even the smokes for other companies...like Romeo and Monte Cristo
