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. |

Some perfectos are also difficult; and thus more expensive sometimes 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. |

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 |

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