back in October 2019, Palama sent me some smokes, including an Aladino Corojo Reserve robusto. He taped a note to give the cigar about 6 months before smoking. I dropped the cigar into an overflow box and promptly forgot about it.
Last year, while shopping around to fill some voids in my storage, I came across a deal for a box of Aladino Corojo Reserve robustos. Having forgotten Palama's gift, but seeing other CBidders posting that they smoked them and liked them, I bought a box...smoked a few, thought pretty good...
fast foward: I came across Palama's gifted Aladino Corojo Reserve from a year and a half ago....thought I'd smoke it for comparison...wow...very nice...all the flavor with none of the harshness of the fresher ones...sweet cinnamon and cedar...so my partial box of Aladino Corojo Reserve will now go down for at least a year before I smoke another...
Thanks, Bro!
