82166 Espinosa Habano with thanks to jeebling.

First light, spicy peppers, wood, astringency. Continues with typical habano notes of the same. Dry texture, little to no sweetness, short finish. I should like them, there's a lot of similarities to the corojos I love, but there's something about habanos I just can't enjoy them.

I really did not like this one at all. It's a decent dry habano, true to style, but my least favorite style. Smoked to halfway without anything i enjoyed so i tossed it. He sent 2 of these, I'm bypassing the second and moving onto the next one in line.

edit: nope next in line is Ezra Zion x 2, and I want to give those a fair go since I've talked chit about them being just another caldwell lost n found type brand without ever trying them. Don't want to have my first immediately after a cigar I didn't like. So I'll move onto the one after those - Greycliff.

82167 Greycliff G2 yellow band. Looks like a CT shade. I've had the $2 cbid greycliffs, so I'm apprehensive about this one. Their reputation for me is on par with Gurkha.

First light mild CT shade notes. Little pepper, little grassy, little papery, slightly sweet kinda toasted marshmallow/burnt sugar.

That all kinda left after the first inch. There's nothing there. This is a bad cigar. I've had worse, at least this was mostly nothing.

82168 LA Palina KB part two. Tried a part one recently and didn't like it much, I think pt 2 is just a longer pt 1 but I'm on a roll so I thought I'd grab another potential disappointment.

First light got the weird necco wafer black licorice flavor. Retro is really harsh like habanero juice in my sinuses. Same experience as pt1. Progresses to a sharp spiciness and then settles down. Still very in your face type, nothing mellow here. Little metallic feeling on the sides of my tongue, very spicy cigar. The anise left after first ash drop. It's astringent too.

Decent cigar, but I only went to halfway. Construction was perfect but it's one of those cigars that's strong for the sake of being strong as it's primary attribute. Needs some balance. Glad those are over.

Tried lighting a Warped La Hacienda but the lack of QC over at the Aganorsa Leaf factory once again shows up to stop those plans. I'm just going to bed.

82168 Camacho Triple Maduro

Dang. The small place was running a 24 hr sale on this brand a few days ago and I almost got some. The only ones they have are platinum tubos. I think that’s the name. And they are pricey so I chickened out. Besides I need to draw down my storage a bit. I’ve got everything over full w/o much breathing room. Gotta get my FOMO under control.

^sorry the box had so many duds in it, danm. At least there were some you haven’t tried and a couple keepers.

82169: Nica Libre by Oliva BP Robusto (5.0"x50)
Sweet, earthy, oaky, very light hits of dark cocoa and dried cherry. I like this one pretty good at CB prices.

#82,171 - AF WOAM

Whittling down a 2013 box but they may be a bit past their prime.

Edit: I was wrong. Lotta life left. Will definitely smoke the remaining seegars sooner rather than later.

82172- Fox/BLTC Araposa Blanca 2022

82713 - L'Atelier Extension de la Racine toro from Z. Thank you, ZRX! This was good. I looked it up online. Judging from the red band, I think this is the Racine. I really liked it.

82174 - Caldwell long live the king

82175: HdM Tradiciion: #5 of a box of 25: Yummy. Baking spices and cedar melded together with a slight perfume note on the lips. Wavy burn with long ash drops.

82176 - Blind smoke from Tiver

82177 Caldwell Blind Man's Bluff Chico while mowing the lawn. Guess I'm not bothered as much by these while distracted with another activity. Good choice for mowing. I don't like these.

82178 - Oliva serie O maduro

82179 don pepin Vegas cubanas toro. Are these new or what’s going on? Look like the pepin original or jj but in green band setup. Just sparked so see how it goes
