Well Jeebs you sent me one too. Thanks again for that. Of all the Alma Plasencia, that's the one i would have chosen first. Most of the reviews peg it as something that is right in my flavor profile preference. Lee's review here just makes it that much more inviting. Ima have to ash that before long

Tiver, I got a fiver of those from the small place. I’ve given 2 to friends and I’m saving the last 3 for myself. They are napping in a safe place. You know, although I joke about having to smoke through a lot of dog rockets, at least they give me something new to try and cheap to smoke while the boutique brands are resting at proper PH.

81882: La Harencia Cubana Toro

The seasonal allergies have my sinuses inflamed and therefore I could not enjoy the peppery and creamy notes I usually get from this cigar. It was good enough with my coffee this morning and that’s plenty good enough when my nose isn’t working.

81883 Fugazi COTY compare to Cuban Cohiba.

It's not gonna confuse anyone about being a Cuban, but it's a good cigar on its own. Rich earthiness, a little twinge of spice on retro, nice creamy texture. Didn't change much by halfway, just turned up. Little more cinnamon burn, little more minerality in the earthy tones. Little more rich creaminess in the texture. Coats my mouth like a bite of dripping brisket and doesn't leave. It's good even without factoring the cheap price.

81887: HdM Excalibur Cameroon King Arthur. No. 19 of 20 from a 2013 box. First few draws instantly reminded me of Laphroiag, so I poured myself some. First third: salty with a hint of leathery cedar. Second third: the saltiness continues but the cedar morphs into a light cinnamon. Final third: still salty, just like a speyside scotch with more intense cinnamon notes. No relights and a perfect burn. I had considered giving up on these old favorites and finding something newer like New World Cameroon, but now I am questioning that crazy talk. Would be interested to know if anyone still keeps around cigars they loved 10-20 years ago. If I bought a box today and stashed it for 5 years will they be similar, good but different or just a disappointment?

81889 LA Barba Ricochet. Another total unknown from darklord trade.

First light not much there but does start off with a nice rich creamy texture. Rarely hit that off the bat. Very mild in flavor though. It's not unlike that RP Decade this morning. Nice texture, pleasant smoke, but nothing interesting. First ash drop it turned up a bit. Little spiciness on retro, rich earthiness. Not sure the makeup of this one. Now that I'm a bit in it's no longer mellow and sweet. It's like a metal song with a slow intro. Now I'm thinking maybe this is a sweet broadleaf under a well aged MSA. There's the metallic earthy filth, but balanced with a sweet richness. It's good but not my jam. Time to look it up.

CBid had 5er samplers of LaBarba last year that included Ricochet..Searched current brands on CBid and nowhere to be found. I have a few sampler 5ers and they were going fairly inexpensively. Maybe $12-$13 on a cheap night

Tiver, Danm, I bought a couple of the La Barber samplers in March. I haven’t smoked any of them yet but from what Dan says I’m kinda looking forward to it.
