Today's Smoke 2022

Got my paws on some:
Caldwell Anastasia Caspia (Green Band)
Mercure 7x47

Have heard mixed reviews, and the smell was a mix of hay, barnyard, maybe some fertilizer. (Like a dog pooped on the barn floor and there was a slight chemical spill, then it was all put in a bag). I was not too excited after smelling it.
Cold draw; wow this is promising.
First puffs; whoooo boy, we are off to the races in a good way. Complex, nuanced flavors. 1st third has been awesome. 20221020_175328.jpg

Draw is tight, will dry box the next one.
 
Rocky Patel Fifteenth Anniversary Torpedo
A very sweet flavor bomb so far. With a similar meaty-ness I find on a ASYLUM 13 99 problems. I don't know why but that cigar really just popped into mind. Nicaragua tobacco is very diverse, love it.
