Punch DC. One of these days I'll label the bands so I know what year the damn things is when I throw the box away.

HdM San Juan. Not a huge fan of big ring guages but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

HdM DNA for sure with creamy flavors but surprisingly very smooth and lighter than reg production. Wasn't expecting that.
Need to set aside some time to smoke one of those those big boys.

Just as creamy but lighter in body and more complex with subtle nuances. With a 54 RG and nearly 6" in length, the San Juan is reminiscent of the gentle giant from High School, its appearance is deceiving. Big cigar with delicate flavors. Not an aggressive bone in its body.

Much more mild then I am used to from a Boli but I would also guess that is because there was probably some age on it that I haven't really had either. While milder it did have a nice creamy note and I enjoyed it a lot. Might have smoked it fast though cause it got harsh with about an inch left (probably hot).

I've had a number of the gold medals, and I don't think I would ever use the word mild, even aged.

Do you smoke LFD double ligeros every day? How do you feel about RyJ Cazadores? Mellow

You need a CoRo. Lord help your wallet once you've had one.

I stay away from them due to the exorbitant price. But they are a special treat when I do have one.

I do lean towards nicaraguan puros so generally cubans are more on the mild side for me. Though I do think that Bolis are generally stronger side of cubans. I don't care for most RyJ, tried the short churches and wide churches and didn't care for either (not bad cigars just didn't fit my taste profile). I do like the coronitas en cedro but can't say I have tried a Cazadore.

LGC Medallia de or Maybe #3? Short lancero. 2014, I think

Have to watch a cigar this thin because it goes out in an instant. Lot of flavor, though.

^ I'm not a big fan of lanceros but these are wonderful smokes. I always get graham cracker notes. Some of the series have been discontinued but glad they still make some vitolas.

RyJ Edicion Limitada 2004 Hermosos No. 2

JNL Nov. '04

A fine participant from a trade with Delta1 last November. The cigar's roots were from Julian via his auction to help one of our brothers.

This was the first RyJ I ever cared for and I smoked through a couple of boxes of these back in the day. The Churchill and Ex #4 are regulars in my rotation now.
