The Four Kicks Capa Especial is the Sumatra wrapper that EPC originally wanted, is that correct? I think that’s what I read. I wonder if you’ve smoked the other blends and can compare them or if you have a favorite among the Four Kicks. I think Jake likes the Four Kicks too.

82,0xx - AF 858 Maduro, 11/21

82,0xx - AF 858 Sun Grown, 12/15

I smoked these over a five day period this past week. All three had nice yellow cello, including the 858 Maduro. There was nothing not to like about the three AF's. Many thanks to the #1382 Azz Hat.

He must of had a couple of pours, his numbering thing went off the rails.

Many thanks Conan, one fine BOTL.

820xx - Isabela Pepper Head, dated 7/4/19, from a "trade" = (I got my azz whooped) with Palama 10/22. I was expecting a DPG kinda pepper bomb but got a Wrigley's Juicy Fruit experience instead. Very pleasant cigar that I could smoke multiples of back-to-back. Thanks Conan!

82016 - LAdC Min Amor

A nice medium+ with great flavors. Coulda/shoulda picked something lighter for an early Saturday morning smoke but this one was very enjoyable. Thanks to Jeebs.

82018 Arganese Nicaraguan Habano with thanks to jeebling.

Never had this brand, know nothing about them. It's a long box pressed Churchill. First light is pleasant but the draw is tight. Hopefully that opens up as the box press relaxes. Little pepper on retro, mild sweet notes otherwise. Little woody but not in a bad way. Needs constant puffing to stay lit. And it went out at 1/4" despite constant puffing. Can feel the heat 2" down from the foot. This things tunneling hard. Cut the bottom off, purged, relit. Consecutive hard draws to get it to smoke and the wrapper is not burning with the filler at all. This is one of those asbestos binder cigars. Cut, purged, relit. I've chopped about 3" off the foot now. Binder/wrapper are finally burning with the filler. Draw is still very tight. Flavors are pleasant but nothing special. Little sweet wood, texture is a bit dry but tolerable. I'm already halfway since I had to whittle down so much of it. Just smoked through the tight spot, draw opened up and flavor intensity followed. But not flavor quality. Lots of work for little reward. I did not like this one. Jeebs sent two, I think the other will go to my father in law.

82019 Asylum 13 Oblongata with thanks to jeebling. This is my 2nd or 3rd ever Asylum, not super familiar with them. Light brown oval pressed robusto. First light big blast of black licorice. Bizarre but it didn't last. Cayenne on retro, Marshmallow finish with a dry texture. Unique for sure. Lots of different spices playing in there. Draw is moderately open, good smoke production, burn is even. Black licorice keeps jumping in and out there's a nice nuttiness too. Retro has a pepperoni spice. There's a lot going on here and all early on. Looking forward to where this settles.

After an ash drop or two it's a nice Honduran earthiness, the texture is dry but not astringent. There's some graham cracker sweetness to balance things.

That was a good one. Smoked down to an inch.
