Definitely don't judge off the first one. I'd step away from the rest until the thoughts of the first are out of your mind.

^tJgraz, Jake thanks, I’ve got more but I’ll put them away for a little while longer
81514: Macanudo Gold Robusto
A lot of flavor for a mild cigar. Love that slightly lemon balm, pepper and leather mix in the flavor.

81515 - Punch Diablo
Won it in pool tournament, was someone's buy-in. Wouldn't have purchased but I would buy more now. Nice dark wrapper, turned out to be a decent cigar.

Overall, I've been disappointed with the average quality of construction for cigars coming out of My Father cigar factories for the last year. No one else has complained, so I thought it was just me.

Some are well made, but too many problems IMO.

I also enjoy the toro size of that cigar and I've also had more construction problems with recent ones and thought it was just me.

81519 Penn Standard Gold Standard corona. It's a not bad cigar. Enough spice to be not a boring CT shade. But otherwise a boring CT shade. Bready, toasty, slightly sweet, some retro spice the Connie butter came on halfway but is pretty thin.

Its main attraction is the price cause its $3per but it tastes like a $4 cigar.

81520- Oliva Serie V Melanio No. 4

Z the dunbarton is very good. I will get more. Halfway believe I have another one of these from a “gifting”. Couldn’t tell you what the flavors are but it’s not a super bold cigar. It’s full but not overbearing. Tastes shift around so I’d call it pretty complex. A+

That IS a dumb name. I'm thinking about maybe making a graph of the relationship between the pretentiousness of the name of the vitola and the cost of a cigar. I think I've detected a pattern.

And I haven't heard that song in a loooong time.

81521: Macanudo Red Romusto
Pretty much a straight red / brown tobacco stock flavor. No thrills, no frills. Paired with a glass of Peter Gajjewski’s “Juicy” Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 and found it to be excellent and satisfying. Sometimes I guess I just want that rich and substantial tobacco flavor and I don’t miss the buttered shortbread. I don’t know if that’s a good review for the Red Mac but I’m looking forward to the next one.

They might as well make these twice as big. I can't smoke just one.

81528: AVO Classic No. 3. Beautiful cigar, the veins contrast the wrapper reminiscent of the Painted Wall in the Black Canyon NP. Cold draw reveals a very earthy flavor with soft pepper. Upon lighting, thick billows of white smoke. Earthy, soft pepper and just an appropriate hint of that DR minerality. Always have a few singles of this old, classic vitola. First of three from last year. First third has the earth and pepper mixing into a warm, leathery deliciousness. Ash drops are surprisingly short, otherwise a truly celebratory cigar for the significance of Good Friday. Second third continues with the rich billows of smoke and a touch more soft pepper with a less leather and no real Connie wrapper flavors due to the Ecudorian, not American, wrapper. Final third has my palate thinking this might be a CC with all the flavors rolling into that indescribable yet unique deliciousness with a final 2" ash. 2 hours of bliss and worthy of being in the humi.

81529: RyJ 1875 Nicaragua Puro Toro
Medium-bodied and balanced, a toasty core, creamy smoke with hints of leather, spice and natural sweetness. Clean burn line, excellent draw. Truly a pleasure.

My fault, thank you, Palama.
