PSD1 EL 2004 Started out super mild, but getting more interesting after the first ashing.

After some encouragement from the sticker pass participants, I came back to the B&M that had the AVO LE05 Redux. They had 18 of them, so I grabbed ten and went to check out. She said that if you buy any 4 AVO you get any equal or lesser value cigar free, so I went back and grabbed five more...

Another AVO LE05 Redux

Tatuaje 7th Reserva

I like them a lot, probably my favorite of the Herrera Esteli lines, but I may be in the minority because they have been discontinued, which I presume means that they weren't the best sellers.

@Eqwhipped This will go out today! Swaps all made, added #58 Warfighter Garrison Oscuro Minuteman 4x44. ETA: https://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum=1Z96X70A0318733141

Yeah, I'm going back and cleaning them out. ETA don't worry I still have one to use in the pass!

AVO 30th Anniversary (2018) LE05 redux. Hot damn this is a good stick! Musty earth, pepper, nuttiness, cedar, a little sweet, full body and strength.

Very well done indeed!

Use Code FAMOUS10 for 10% off and free shipping. Unbelievable deal on these IMHO. I honestly don't even know where I'm going to put them but I couldn't pass this up at $2.67 per stick after tax. https://www.famous-smoke.com/he-norteno-s-corona-gorda-cigars-maduro

The pass has arrived! I'll inspect and make swaps tonight. @Eqwhipped Will you be ready if I get it out tomorrow?

It looks identical to me, just insulated vs uninsulated. I was thinking of clipping a small fan in the door somehow or, as you mentioned, replacing one of the windows with one.

I felt the same, a few months of age really helped them go from being duds to above average IMHO.

Congrats!

Well I'm trying the insulated one out for the second night. It keeps warm just fine with a little ceramic fan heater from Walmart but I can't get it to vent worth a damn. It turns into a Cheech and Chong situation in short order! I'm going to have to figure out a fan of some kind for sure.

Warped Sarto - Nicaraguan, CT broadleaf wrapper, pretty strong. Chocolate, earth, oak, almond. Jam packed full of tobacco, very well made. From the NACSA factory, which I don't have a lot of experience with but the ones I've tried have been high quality. ETA: damn this thing burns forever! I'm...

Welcome to the jungle!

These Plasencia-made Montes are very nice sticks.

The AVO was $15 MSRP from what I can find. It's OOS everywhere online but the B&M nearest me has a handful of them marked at $13. Chad has the chef's special at $12.50 so that's pretty darn close.

Good to hear the POS isn't a P.O.S.!
