I'll go in!

Warped Maestro del Tiempo. Lots of pepper in this one.

Thanks @JoeGibs this is a tasty little sucker. Warped Corto.

Warped El Oso. Tasty.

Happy birthday!

And on several of them the best descriptor is in the middle of the scale. So some of the scales are really 0-10-0 while others are just 0-10. The weight given to various factors is goofy as well. Whether the ash is flaky is just as important as flavor? It's a good starting point but would...

Congrats!

Tatuaje Fausto. Heavy, dark, strong, dry.

Happy birthday!

Roma Craft Aquitaine Sabertooth. This thing's an absolute beast. ETA: 5x56 and I smoked it for damn near 2 hours as well.

Tat 7th Tuxtla.

There's no such thing as a time machine. We're just using prescience to see the future!

Tatuaje Cohetes Corojo will take December for me. Small but packed with great flavor.

Stolen Throne Castle 919. Ecuador Habano Claro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler. Made at the Noel Rojas factory, and actually reminds me a lot of his 10th Anniversary cigar but maybe a bit better than that one IMO. Medium, fairly dry feel, toast, oak, earth, and pepper.

$$ sent, thanks for running this, as always, Michael!

Happy birthday, Jon!
