January was ok! Got a few new blends to sample from my local B&M and a few great deals here for some very fine smokes. From my local Cigar bar I burned the following over-priced sticks.....
A.B. Prensado Lost Art 6.5" x 52 Toro, was ok, good
Fratello Oro 6.25" x 54 Toro, was ok, average
A.B. Black Market Esteli 6" x 52 Toro, was ok, average
Joya de Nicaragua Black 6" x 52 Toro, was ok, average
Java Red 6" x 50 Toro, was ok, good, but not as good as the regular Maduro version, & the
6.12" x 54 Monte Monte by AJ Fernandez Belicoso which was ok, good, and tasted like a smoother medium version of La Herencia Cubana Core LOL.
