What the heck?? Never heard of these... Can you give us a little back story?

 

[Scap]

Delicious.

 

[57Strat]

back story?

Custom house blend for Grisel's in Switzerland that closed shop in the 90s. Rumored to have been produced at the El Rey del Mundo factory and has a similar taste to a Tainos from that time period.

Just something price point today, Ava Maria - Churchill made by A.J. Fernandez for STG Scandavian Tabacco Group.

Well constructed, nice ever burn, and earthy flavor profile. This is a price point (inexpensive stick), that is consistent, and not a bad deal. Will not light the world on fire, but is good value for the money. IMHO

Yesterday and today:
Illusione ~2~ and an 88 to sample recent production, both a tad rougher around the edges than expected for Aganorsa products
RASCC EML NOV 13 which really hit the spot with coffee this morning before work

Yesterday. From the 2010 TAA box. It deffinetly mellowed which means the Opus that came with it should be terrific.
Today it’s an old Partagas.

Monte #4 tonight.
Love it, but holy crap they stink. It's one of the only sticks that makes my wife want to hose me off before I walk in the back door.

This was also last night. I tried to edit my original post to add it but using the iPad I just managed to screw up the post order.

I was a little worried that it wouldn't hold up to the hype... it held up!

Well, its HOT ( 102° ) and I decided to beat up on a ISO. Here’s to you brothers, have a great weekend.

Well I did another Ava Maria - Reconquista - Torpedo. Believe this is their most expensive offering. Very well constructed, good burn & ash formation. Last a strong I nteresting flavor profile. IMHO this is a brand that flies under a lot of people's radar maybe because it is what I will call a house roll for the Scandavian Tabacco Group Companies, made by A.J. Fernandez.

Lusi. In the sky with diamonds.

I like the smooth, easygoing nature of the Ave Maria immaculata.
