81657 - Oliva melanio natural

81658 Karen Berger habano from darklord trade. Another total unknown. And I don't like most habanos, so I'm going in with an open mind but low expectations.

First light I'm impressed. It's not astringent, it's not a woody flavor, but there is some sawdust in the background. Pleasantly nutty maybe some coffee bean. But the texture is either one of age or a blend I'm into. Sweet creamy texture lingers. I'm into it. It's a good cigar.

After an ash drop or two the spice ramped up, but maintained a nice sweet earthy undertone. Some bitter nuts but not overpowering. Opened an A&W cream soda to help with that.

It's good. Dunno about $10 good but I certainly wouldn't turn one down if offered to me. Burn was uneven but self corrected every time as long as I rotated it. Went in expecting Don Lino level trash and was pleasantly surprised.

Youse guys are in the Search ‘n Find Your Wheelhouse mode. The less you try, the narrower your horizon.

And to Jeebs’ post, FOMO is real but…be patient. Iffin’ they don’t sell out, the small place will offer them up for sale again. Typically they don’t change the discount so in a few weeks you’ll be able to get them at the same price.

81660 Foundation the Wise Man maduro. I've not had these but it was a semi educated purchase, I read reviews and stuff.

Starts off with a gritty dirty blast of msa harshness but thankfully it subsided quickly to a very chocolatey and toasted black pepper. I like it.

Yup they're going away. It's not good enough I feel the need to get more, but I'm glad I bought em.

It's in the lane I was into before I took a hiatus from buying and smoking cigars. It's not in line with the blends I'm currently enjoying so it scratched an itch, sated my curiosity, and when they're gone, they're gone.

81663: Cuba Libre Robusto
Nice savory Corojo by Nestor Plasencia. Very easy draw, almost loose. Starts off with a very savory salty twang, peppery, light leather and earth, lightly sweet finish. I’m sure I caught a few puffs of BBQ or teriyaki in there. Middle third mellows out leathery and earthy with a touch of nutty, still lots of thick buttery smoke. Last third picks back up like the first third w/o so much pepper until close to the nub where it suddenly gets very very hot. It is a terrific Corojo at this price point.

Toker hasn’t smoked a cigar in over 6 hours. Jake, check the local drunk tanks and county jails. Danm, can you canvass the emergency rooms in the are? I’ll call all of the morgues. Is there someone we can dispatch to conduct a health and comfort visit? Constable or Sheriff?

81665 (simultaneous posts a few back) - SD Ladykiller lonsdale. Every time I smoke these, I like them more. Habano maduro wrapper, corojo binder, 2 types of criollo in the blend, all in a perfectly-sized 6.5 x 46 vitola. Just an excellent cigar that makes me want to throw my panties on the stage.

81668 - Pardon 1964 - great as always
81669 - Puro Desnudo N6 Canonazo - love these
81670 - LA Palina El Ano 1896 Oscuro - if it weren't for the construction issues on these (batting 4 out of 7 smoked so far having bad underfills) these would be a great inexpensive cigar. This one was fine, so maybe a bad batch, but makes me hesitate to buy more for sure.

#81,671 - Warped Cloud Hopper No. 53

Shoulda bought (...a lot...) more when they were being cleared out by a different retailer a couple years ago. Paid a little over $4 for them.
