82369 Southern Draw Firethorn with thanks to jeebling.

I bought a fiver of these a while ago but haven't gotten around to trying them. Jeeblings label says 4/24. Mine says 2/28 so I'm going to smoke one from my own stash and put his in the sleeping box with my other 4. Does a month make a difference? Probably not. But if I have the option, I'd rather go as old as possible when smoking an AJF. I bypassed a Romeo y Julieta vintage because I just can't do another CT shade. This is habano, so I'm apprehensive.

First light closed foot AJ pepper and that unpleasant bitter wood habano flavor. Thankfully went away after 10m. Retro is peppery, there's a slight sweet cream in there, little nutty little burnt caramel, some coffee bean bitterness. It's decent. Like all AJF ive ever smoked, it should be better after a couple years.

82374 Karen Berger connecticut Salomon from darklord trade. Strange tanginess in there tastes like a bit of pipe tobacco may be in the blend. Pleasant creamy nutty fruity sweetness. Add to the short list of good CTs. Nice and complex, several flavor transitions throughout. Excellent cigar smoked about an hour and a half and nubbed it.

82375: La Gloria Cubana Wavell (Robusto) (5.0"x50)

Savory and sour in the right way, lots of bitter cocoa and dark sour cherry on the nose and in the smoke. A full bodied cigar that’s strong but not outrageous.

82376 - CAO V554 calling it a toro, from PW. Thank you, Señor Whiskey. I have been wanting to try these, had them on one of my lists, and PW generously obliged. I thought it was good. I like broadleaf.

82382: Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul (Robusto) (4.5"x52)
This one was absolutely terrific. The ones I’ve smoked in previous weeks obviously had not adjusted to the RH in my storage and therefore didn’t smoke well and tasted bitter and ashy. This one was full bodied, savory, background notes of dark blackberry jam and oak, a tad earthy and occasional milk-tea flavors, toasty in final 1/3rd. I can imagine buying these again.

Dang…I see that paid $23 for a fiver - $.4.6 per stick. Not a particularly good price.

82383 Southern Draw Rose of Sharon lancero with thanks to jeebling.

Very light tan wrapper sposeda be a sun grown Ecuador CT wrapper. Not sure what that's gonna bring but let's go. First light is kinda boring. Mix of papery Connie with some pepper and some habano woodiness. But it got better. Spicy retro, light finish, slightly sweet, buttered toast and a slight mineral or metallic note. It's a decent cigar. A lot fuller in flavor and body than the appearance led me to expect.

82384 Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles with thanks to jeebling. Been a while since I've smoked one of these so young. Age really helps them. This has a bit of that wet wood bitterness initially but it subsides. Pete pepper is big on retro. Mixed nuts, coffee beans, sweet cream. No burn or draw issues.

Good cigar. Great after a year or two.
