82098: Sancho Panza Glorioso (Toro) (6.1"x50)
This is the one with Connie wrapper and a Maduro binder. It’s a medium bodied, low strength cigar. Light box press, notes of honey, nuts, cream and Wheaties and cornbread crust. Very nice mellow cigar.

Toker, I’ve been wondering about those. I think JGRAZ said he likes’em.

I like the Chillin Moose too (not as well, that's what it's called because there are two different chillin moose), and the Bull Moose maduro. Both are around $6, so very reasonable. I'm not certain but I think AJF blends these.

Right on, Toker. I’m a bit surprised that AJF blends them but why should I be? That dude is everything, everywhere, all at once.

I'm not that certain tho and not seeing anything about it. It's a Forged cigar for whom AJ does a lot of blending for so it's possible. As for the moose line, there is also a Connie called the shady Moose so there are 5 variations. My favorite is the Bull Moose maduro except that 60 is the smallest ring gauge that the 2 Bull Moose come in.

It’s not that I don’t like the 60 ringer, I do. But I have grown bored smoking 3 a day. Lately I’ve been grooving on about a 50 gauge. Nevertheless, I’d like to try a few different wrappers on that stick.

La Gloria Cubana Esteli (Robusto) (4.5"x52)
I haven’t had that Jalapa ligero wrapper in awhile and I didn’t know that I missed it. It’s a very manageable medium + and I think the balance of spice and sweet is just right. I’ve had this one several months and apparently that is long enough for it to lose some of those hard abrasive edges. Pepper and spice and leather and sweet on the kickoff then the pepper mellows to a background note. The nice sour notes come along in the first third. Midway some cocoa and in the end a bit of all the flavors mingling with a hint of vanilla sugar on occasion. I was surprised at how good this cigar could get after another month of rest. Can’t wait to try some that are older that I’ve received as gifts from the brothers in the trades. Fantastic middle of the night can’t sleep smoke. I’d buy a box for a friend and tell him to bury it for 6 months.

One of the reasons I always note the size I am smoking is in the vain hope that one day the powers-that-be may notice that many regular smokers do not like the big horse d!ck cigars. At least there is a record of dissent. From what I have seen, most of the people on this forum do not smoke them, at least not regularly.

I was looking at tenski's fiver selection the other day, and the only x000 maduro Padrón left was 54 or 56 rg or such. That tells you something. I've also been eyeing some La Aurora Ecuador parejos, and the 5x50 rg sell for twice the price of the 54rg toro, and the romustos are usually sold out. Not the toros. Seems like the market is giving the right feedback, but it's just not being appreciated.

I’mma purdy sure I’ve never purposely bought a 60 RG other than Nubs and figuarados (e.g., Work of Arts) so the only ones I have left were gifted to me. I’ll smoke a 60 when I herf since I know we’ll be drinkin’ and talkin’ story for at least 2 hours. Otherwise those big boys never see the light of day.

Jeebs - you’re working your way out of the depths of nOObdom as you start to learn more and enjoy the nuances of wrappers and wrapper-to-filler ratio. Keep on growin’!

Seems like theres a lot less corona and lancero offerings and more 60s than a few years ago. Also more Robustos that are thicker like 54 rg. Like the undercrown robusto.

There's a lot of flavor packed into that Bull Moose maduro though. Even for a 60. Very spicy but still unnatural smoking it.

I find box pressing helps a lot. A 54 rg is much more manageable in a box press. Perfectos help too. A 54 or even 56 rg torpedo is much more smokeable to me than a parejo of the same size.
