Mellow+/medium Nub Connecticut (Jun '23) to start the day. This one nearly made the El Cheapo smoke thread until I discovered that it cost me $3.11.

Another Raymond Pages cigar. This is the Pirate's Gold in 6 x 60. A mild/med Nicaraguan with a Connecticut wrapper. Typically $5 everyday online - BUT you'll be happier smoking these at $2.50. Patience. Easy draw, good burn. A bit of pepper up front. Reminds me of the Florida Man.
