Quick 45 min smoke before dinner at Bob’s Chophouse to celebrate 31 years of marriage and 34 together.

Either you are the luckiest sumbitch out there or not many folks are signing up for the contests! You’ve won 3-4 of these a year right Ralph?

Illusione Epernay Le Petite Man this was good. Hay, honey, tea, earth, wood and mild spice. Coffee, cream and white pepper. Floral notes, baking spices, milk chocolate, oak and spiced vanilla. Mild/medium. Good construction. Perfect short smoke. I’ve yet to try the Tat “black crack”...

La Aurora Preferidos Maduro Leather, coffee, toasted oak and nutmeg. Very faint sweetness and baking spices. Second half was espresso and strong persistent bitterness. The first one of these I smoked was brick hard and bitter. Four months later, still hard even after pre-light tooling from...

A couple more recent purchases. Ashton sampler and Tatuaje 10th Anni Capa Especial Bon Chasseur Cigar Luxury SP L2 Maduro Toro and SP L2 Camaroon Toro Gordo Pigtail and some singles. @dawgie had the SP Maduros in a recent purchase and I was intrigued - looking forward to trying them after a...

Tatuaje Cojonu 2018 Broadleaf Open draw, excellent spice, cream and dry earth with black pepper and spice retro. 2nd is wood and spice. Cream returns to pair with wood, earth and spice for the final 3rd. Excellent smoke. My son had a JC Newman Yagua that was also very good.

Rojas Street Tacos Carnitas Smooth, mellow spice, cream, vanilla and tobacco sweetness. Perfect construction. Very enjoyable mellow smoke. I ordered a couple Rojas samplers last month and all of the bands were simpler and less fancy than older sticks in my humi. I don’t know if I got an older...

Dang - sold out quick.

Caldwell LLTK Mad Mofo with coffee. Very nice blend of spice and sweetness. Good Saturday morning!

Awesome - congrats Stephen!
