Glad it was ok, Danm. This cigar is in my top 5 currently. You are right about the girth though. Recently I’ve been preferring a 48 or 50 gauge vitola.

EDIT: these were better than the RoMa Craft Intemperance. I paid $7.50 for a fiver of the Graycliff and several times that for the RoMa. Let’s see if the RoMa Craft improves with a couple months of nap time.

I personally haven't come across a Intemperance that I have cared for, though I have a few sitting as well. For my money the CroMagnon, Neanderthal, Aquitaine, & Baka all shine.

Special occasion, celebrating my anniversary! These randomly showed up at my local B&M. Several different sizes, so BOLO!

My very first cigar event was a RoMa Craft smoker in 2013. Skip Martin was there that night even though he was, reportedly, sick as a dog earlier in the day. No details so dunno what was ailing him. Nonetheless, he seemed like a cool guy and one of my buddies, HOnizuka won a box of CroMagnon Venus’. Homer gave one to each of us at our table. It’s a rather big boy, 6.50 x 56, so I have yet to smoke it.

Anyway, meant to say that when the brand was newer and with a lot less blends, imho, the Intemperance line was the best they had. While I’mma still a fan of the Envy BA XXI and its Brazilian Arapiraca wrapper, I like the CroMagnon Aquitaine the most. Iffin’ you let the Whiskey Rebellion cigars sit for 2 to 3 years, you’ll be rewarded with a very good smoke. Of course, ymmv.

The Whiskey Rebellion is actually one of the Intemperance that I haven't tried, and I do have a few sitting so that's good news to look forward to. Another I've heard good things about is the Volsted, haven't tried that either and have a few as well

As to not being able to guarantee the same tobaccos each time, that explains why they have just changed the CroMagnon blend. Haven't tried the new but I've been actively buying up what old I can find, and afford.

Foundation Cigars is having growing pains as well and having to change some of their blends. Nick Melillo has recently moved his HQ to Connecticut and is beginning to farm more of his tobacco. I’m hoping this is something that he can manage and that he gets the tobacco he wants.
