It’s either an Emilio LJZ, or LJZ Emilio. A first for me, in any case.

Last of the pledge. Not posted much lately as it's pretty much been the same smoke every night as I'm down to getting rid of those epically dull placencia reservas. Buying a box blind was dumb!

H Upmann / A J Fernandez Nicaraguan torpeado. New at my B&M and first for me. Notice area near cap, dang that leaf is thin, but just into it and looking good.

Last night was the first time in a few weeks I've had time for more than one drink and a quick smoke out back. A Monte #5 and the next to last loose Don Carlos #3 I have. Very relaxing evening.

What are your thoughts on this cigar

I liked it, overall. It had a really tight draw, which may have been alleviated if I left it in the dry box longer. The first two thirds were flavorful and quite enjoyable. The final third was mostly mild tobacco flavors. It burned really evenly, but started to get some wrapper splitting when I got closer to the end. Kind of strange considering that it seemed to have impeccable construction. I think with a little better draw it would have gone from, "pretty good", to "really good". Would definitely smoke it again.

My experience on the flavor was very similar to yours. I did have a better draw. I still have a few left so let’s see how they smoke

@CBoukal Chad thank you so much for acquiring this for me. I really like most of what Saka makes and this is no exception. Supposedly it’s a blend that he has been working on since 2016 and will be released in 2023. Uses some sort of an exotic wrapper. Can’t see from the pic but it has a pigtail cap and closed foot. It already has amazing flavor profile but I am sure it will get even better with some age on it.

Very cool.

Is this the wolf? ETA: This is really good, so I had to confirm, yes it’s the Wolf.

how was it?

Awesome as always. Draw was perfect too (which seem to be the only downfall I ever have with these cigars).

I think @modo22 would really enjoy these. He should order some
