Today's Smoke 2023

Bummer. AJ Upmanns are usually on the mark (though certainly in no way comparable to actual CC Upmann cigars, for sure).

I think that was the 3rd (non CC) Upmann that I’ve had that I didn’t get along with for whatever reason. There are too many other choices to keep messing with them. I think I may have one CC in stock, so I might have that tonight just to see what happens…

I am with you, the non CC's are barely useful enough to take up space in my trash can. The CC's on the other hand....

Yea, NC upmann's are subpar at best.

If there’s no picture, it didn’t happen.
Just sayin…

Interesting. I've always enjoyed the turquoise band NCHU -- I'm not sure I've had any of the others, to be honest. As always, SWYL / LWYS.

That said, the Habano Mag 54 is probably one of my favorite cigars out there that is still (relatively speaking) obtainable.

That Anejo looks like an old Shark. Can’t remember what year they switched bands, but I’m thinking that one has some years on it?

64 I herfed at the goth club on Monday and my first casa cuba from yesterday. Little sick today, so just puffing on some cold pills for now.

That could be said for most of the NC brands of CC origins. Have you ever had the NC Monte 2 compared to the CC??
