#76,693 - MF Talavera CG

Two more left from the 2016 bundle.

Edit: Band peeled off very easily. Could have slid it but went with the peel instead. 9.5 out of 10 (arbitrary rating system)

76703 Jr ultimate 50th anniversary toro. Better than I expected
Foot band was superglued.
Removed regular band just to see if it was as stubborn but it let loose decent.

Overall band experience 5/10

Sadly no. Sad

I’mma thinking they rolled a very, very minuscule amount of the “Buttery Shortbread Special Blend” and you were one of the lucky ones that got that special ticket. 🎟️

76726 - Menace by CAO
I think replaced the CAO Mayan which was spectacular. This, not so much. I think it's gonna need a long rest to really come around.

#76,736 - Crowned Heads Four Kicks Robusto

Thanks to my South Dakota-Braddah-from-Another-Mother, Youngra (MIA).

Edit: I haven’t smoked one of these in over 4 years and must say, it’s a lot better now than what I remembered.

Edit #2: BRR - 2 out of 10 - as the burn line approached the band, I jiggled it to see if I could slide it off. Couldn’t. Looked for then finally found one end of the band to peel. Initial tug was fine but then ran into a roadblock about 3/8”. Tried to scrape the stuck part. Band ripped. Argh! Took a couple more puffs. Still no wiggle so back to peeling. Still no go but by now the burn line was 1/8” away. Decided to tear the band off. d'oh!
