82830 Fugazi COTY compare to Padron 1964.

I smoked an 8th inch of this cigar. It takes the cake for the worst cigar I've smoked this year. Tasted like wet socks worn for two days straight and dipped in solvent.

This entire sampler has been awful. The sampler I bought last fall was actually decent. These all taste super green at best. Downright rotten at worst. Apologies to anyone I've recommended these to, they're definitely not the same as my first go around with them

82832 Fugazi COTY compare to EPC la historia.

This is actually a good cigar. No way it's from the fugazi knockoff blender. This is an EPC overrun rebanded. There's depth to the flavors, mineral/earth mostly. There's texture to the smoke, the ash isn't blooming and flaking, it's required nothing of me to stay lit.

82834 - AF casa cuba quatro

82835 Fuente Chateau SG.

Not bad is about all this one earns. Dry, one note, not much going on.

I knew I didn't care for em 10 years ago, but it came in a sampler with some good stuff for cheap.

82841 Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Sun grown

Well made. Slow burn

82842 -- Ashton Classic 898...at 6.5 x 44, it's a short lancero, perfect size for me...first half was great, then the bitterness started until the last 2 - 3 inches when the harshness and tarry residue popped up...first dud among all the Ashton Classics I've smoked over the years...hope this is an anomaly and not the standard for the rest of the box...

Big fan of them all, particularly the David and Goliath perfecto’s

82844 - Helix Natural robusto

82845: RP Vintage 1979 with thanks to Jake
Fairly yellow cello. The barnyard smelled more like feed lot. Had a raised seam in last third. Punched it and lit it with delicious cream of peppered cedar flavor. Thought this was going to be a winner but it became very bitter at the end of first third. I couldn’t smoke it because the moisture at the shoulder was burning my lips. Had to reluctantly discard. Still, I’m grateful for the smoke, Jake!

82869: Sancho Panza Glorioso (BP Toro) (6.1"x50)

A Connecticut from Sancho P. I normally associate them with their tasty and affordable Maddies. This one was beautiful and well constructed. Burned a little crooked and needed touch up 2x in the middle but beyond pet peeve it presented no problem. The flavor at kickoff was a mix of marshmallow, strong milk tea, nutty. The marshmallow faded in first inch. About mid way the light molasses and mineral taste of CBL entered the mix creating a new well balanced flavor. The CBL never over powered. The thick smoke was creamy and palette coating throughout the smoke. As far as complexity goes, not a lot. What I got was classic Connie with that CBL flavor balanced in at the middle. If you’re looking for an affordable Connie with a bit of body you might give this one a try.
