Looks like we have an imposter in our midst. That doesn’t look like Toker to me. Must be a Joker.

81613 Southern Draw manzanita. First one, but I bought a fiver of the robs and the toros for about $4per. Evaluating for a box since they're on sale for about that price.

Big AJF pepper. Lil earthy lil dry. Palama says let these boys sleep. Like most of the AJ stuff I've had, age is kind to them but I'm not a fan right out the gate. The rest of these will lay dormant for a while. It's not bad. Not gonna buy the sale boxes.

81618 Crowned Heads Le Careme first one I've had.

Initial light deep rich earthiness and a good bit of pepper. Weird box press more of a squished cigar like they were trying to do the oval press thing.

After first ash a bit of mineral notes come out, still rich earthiness still peppery retro but it subsided to almost none by halfway. Sweet nutty notes with the rich earthiness and the texture is borderline rich and creamy. This tastes like a cigar that will age out well. Surprised by the progression. It's quite nice. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a sale box of these.

Not as good as the last one which wasn’t very good. This one had persistent burn issues and a firmer draw than the others and certainly firmer than I like. There was pepper and cedar and leather on light up and then no flavor after that.

I've only smoked the Toro but I wasn't a big fan of them even with 5 months of rest. For me, the 1 year mark is when they started to shine. Personally, I would jump on a couple of boxes but ymmv.

The Pi was very disappointing, not recommended.

I like the Bosphorus. They can have some rough edges here and there, but the type of edges that time will help. Interesting profile, kinda different.

The Pi was harsh all the way through. There were some interesting flavors at different points, some cream, a nice sweetness, but not enough to overcome the underlying harshness. It didn't help that it was a little underfilled.

It would have been an OK $3 cigar, but there's other stuff for $3 that I would rather have like Ave Maria or Diesel. I paid $15 at a B&M. But now I know.

AIR, I’m interested in your overall take on Ezra Zion as a brand and any comments you might have about individual blends, if anything comes to mind. Thanks.


Naturally sweet tobaccos. They've gained a reputation for making chocolate flavored blends. Most of their releases are limited and often sell out anywhere between one hour and one day. If a release is still available on their website after two days then it most likely isn't great. When a company has cigars selling out within an hour, you know they're doing something right - or, at least, they found a perfect target market.

81629: Montecristo Media Noche 5 x 55 Robusto, I think they call it Edmundo
81630: San Cristobal Monumento Churchill size. The flavors were flat and the draw was tight. The others have been much more satisfying.

Disappointed to read this but glad I did. I got a 4 pack @ $60 from the small place. Based on your remarks here I think I should go ahead and put these on a 3 month lockdown before I try to burn one. Thanks for sharing your experience with us brother Leebo.

81637 Camacho Corojo - big band Camacho. From darklord trade. Anticipating great disappointment.

Lil spicy, leathery, lil minerally/dry earthy. Draw is on the tight side but this is a Churchill maybe it'll open up at some point.

It's close but no cigar. If the Aladino corojo didn't exist for a comparison I'd feel it was close enough to my memory of the real Camacho corojo. I wanted to hate it. But 2" in, I'm calling it a decent to good cigar. I wouldn't buy them over the Eiroa corojo offerings but aside from that, as its own thing, it's good.

With 3" remaining it's getting downgraded to decent. No progression, it stayed the same from those first 2" to now. Being a Churchill, that also means I've been sitting here for an hour and a half and honestly I'm bored. Gonna just set it down and go inside.

#81,220 - Warped Sky Moon Lonsdale 109

Edit: With 4 more months of nap time, this became a much better smoke than the one I tried back in October.

Did you take the bait on the 35% sale on Warped Moon Garden / Sky Moon at the small place? I’m afraid I did. I’ve never tried them and this seemed like a sign from God.

No I did not. Small place doesn’t ship to Hawaii anymore so I don’t even look at their e-newsletters. But with that discount, I would definitely buy some.

I’mma 98.2% sure that I once tried a new / big band Camacho Corojo Robusto and purdy sure I didn’t think much of it. One thing I know fo’ sure is that when I tried my first JRE Aladino Corojo, I *knew* at first puff that it was the real thing and there was no need to look any further.

Dan, if you stumble across some of the 2022 LE Belicos Finos, they are great.

81649 - RP 20th Vintage anniversary toro

In my humi for 15 mos. Firm cigar, but not particularly heavy in hand. Started smooth and sweet with mild baking spice. 25 min to first ash drop and relatively simple. Second ash drop at 45 minutes and it's barely past 2" in and no change. I want something to balance this sweetness out but not getting anything. At the half I am fighting a harder than appreciated draw, but the sweetness is fading to a drier strong-ish tobacco flavor and a little pepper zing on the retro. Fighting to draw, but it's otherwise burning straight and true. Rolled it in between my fingers and teeth to loosen up the second half and it finally draws like a champ. Have to purposefully slow my draw 'cause now it's starting to heat up. Last third comes in with some strength. Burn time is an hour and a half, but it was like it only had 60 minutes built in. Maybe the draw issue. If it had been a CG or robusto the overall experience would have been more enjoyable. I won't mid smoking again, but hope the draw is better.
