JDN Antaño Gran Reserva GT20 Very firm box press…could’ve used more rest. Decent draw given (v-cut, draw-tooled 1/3 in). Full body/strength but with 5 year aged tobacco and criollo wrapper it’s not the punch in the face of the regular Antaño. Leather and mild pepper start. Developing honey...

H Upmann 1844 Reserve Earth, oak, faint pepper. Cool draw, honey finish. Decent.

Damn. RIP

La Aurora 1903 Camaroon Toro Cedar, leather and cotton candy. Firm stick with a cool sweet draw and faint WP retro. Citrus coating on the lips, tea and almonds. Finished stronger with some pepper and strong nicotine kick. Nice blend.

MF Flor de las Antillas Sun Grown Mild/med strength full flavor , cool smoke - sweet cedar, cocoa, nutmeg, molasses, coffee, white pepper. Perfect construction. Great stick.

Meh.

Sanj Patel Industry Killer Habano Lancero Loads of cedar and spice to start, white pepper retro, developed into leather, cedar, caramel with white/red pepper. Creamy, well-constructed enjoyable smoke.

I bet it looks kick ass on someone’s pickup 🤣

Rojas Street Tacos Carnitas Toro After a bitter start, draw tool and significant early touch up, this developed into a pleasant smoke. Hay, buttered popcorn, sweet cedar, faint vanilla w/white pepper retro.

Friday afternoon smokes Padilla Reserva Habano Toro Leather, spice, orange zest, faint vanilla. Finished with leather, cedar and citrus - very enjoyable smoke. Also enjoyed the final third of my son’s Padron 3000 Maduro Executive
