Bit spendy for my humi. And I've yet to understand why Lanceros are so expensive. Harder to roll I guess. dunno.

Significantly...filler/binder balance in smaller cylinder....greater risk of even a small stem clogging the whole thing....or a gapped leaf causing awful burn...properly bunching and rollling the long skinnies is quite an art

Some perfectos are also difficult; and thus more expensive sometimes

What they said. Hadn’t had one in a while. But, there’s an Illisone Madura that a few years ago was fantastic.

Speaking of perfectos, I’d wanted to smoke as far back as could remember seeing the caricature on a Monopoly box.

I seem to think the first bid I won here was a fiver of LaAurora. Ended up buying *few* more fivers in that one and the Corojo. That led to a love air with the LaAurora brand. The 1495 matured into a very nice smoke after sleeping 4-5 years. The key was to score a box that hadn’t dried out in the shipping channel. If very carefully aged a few years at 70/70 the oils blended in well. Then placed into a dry box and brought slowly down to 63 before smoking made for
a memorable smoke without excess tar build up.

Bs_kwaj,

You still on the atoll? Thought you might have said something about your time being up.

Hey... Just turned 65 in July. I've had retirement in the back of my mind for a while now.

But we recently had a contractor transition out here and I started working for a new contractor and got a good little bump in pay, so I'm still here.

Oh man... and when I retire, I have to buy a house and a car and buy gas and pay for insurance and buy my own groceries and learn to cook and mow the lawn and .... all that... d'oh! :-D

For the price and reviews, of which I've heard nothing good, I'll find better.
