I am a huge fan of trying house blends.
Anyone ever heard of / tried these, I will pull trigger next week.
Trying to talk them into making me a sampler of the different blends, not just different sizes of the same blend

A $2.03 Gurkha Sherpa Maduro 6 x 54. Everyday online 25 sticks/$65.

Medium/full Dominican, with Honduran, and Nicaraguan fillers, a Connecticut broadleaf binder and an Maduro wrapper.

I've read several accounts of these. One says "mixed fillers" and the others say "long leaf fillers". At any rate, these are pretty decent smokes, especially in this price range.

Decent construction/draw/burn. Well behaved.

Puffy Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ and 13/16ths

It's been quite warm here. And quite dry.

A storm dropped two inches of rain in an hour.

And now it's 70 degrees

And then it started raining again.
And then it stopped. LOL

THAT'S gonna make the grass grow.

I just ordered a bundle. 50 bucks if they suck oh well but for 2 dollars a stick I couldn't pass it up.

Do you remember the old Padron Fumas? I loved those things and I've been looking for something similar ever since they were discontinued. I may try to find some of these to see how they compare.
