Today’s Smoke 2019

Tonight I’m getting into the Illusione Cruzado. Coming in at around 7 inches (the only time ive ever said that) this thing started full and a kick to my face but then quickly dropped to a medium with cream, leather, some fruit/floral? (untrained palate)476FBD72-5977-4F5A-94C7-3C371B519222.jpeg
 
tonight it's a CAO Gold (i think) Seleccion robusto. can't find it on their website tho, and there's nothing about this version i can dig up. no matter. it's pretty flippin' nice! no pairing unfortunately...i'm on call for work the rest of the week.....image.jpg

Wasn't the CAO Gold, one of their first offerings? I thought it was discontinued, maybe not.

i've no idea truthfully.... i perused their website and ran several iterations of the branding thru the intertoobs... came up with nothing that matched up as far as the seleccion part anyway. which is a shame, cause it's a damn nice stick. i'd like to find a few more at less than fairbanks prices.....

Interesting. I must be trying the wrong Illusiones... Sounds good!
 
Started with a partagas MF and moved onto my first bolivar. It was smooth, little cream, cedar. Little mild to medium throughout but delicious!

a bit of insight.... tonite's offering is a Macanudo colorado 5.5x50 robusto. or so it says. notice the odd seleccion band and its striking similarity to the one on the CAO i had in last nite's post.... my thoughts are ol' boy at the local tabak shoppe got ahold of a cheapy sampler, split it up and sold 'em as overpriced singles. not surprising.....our shops are a very small step above the local 7-11. and me bein a newbie an all, i wouldn't know the difference. let's just say i'm buyin from online shops from now on....image.jpg
 
Partagas 898. Sorry no pic!

I can’t wait for things to calm down! A lot of big changes, good changes, have kept us busy. We just moved to Napa, are trying to get our house ready to sell, Josh got an awesome new job, and I just got a job promotion! Can’t complain :):):)
