Next is 82390

82390: Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur Epicure: very light but tastes great and burns evenly. Never had one of these, and will definitely add them to my list to buy more.

82391 Warped Moon Garden (I think - its a flor del valle with a gold especial band) with thanks to jeebling.

I've been looking forward to this one. First light bitter wood but loads of spice on retro made my eyes water. The cedar remains but less of a wet bitter wood and more of a sharp note in the spice blend. Finish is creamy and rich, vanilla and caramel. Rich earthiness and spices. There's so many things happening. Extremely slow burn. At about an inch nice old world flavors. If unbanded I'd question the country of origin. I bought some of these a few weeks ago. I'm on a buying freeze but have a short list of boxes I'll break it for a worthwhile sale. This is getting added to that list.

Fantastic cigar 5/5. Best I've had in a while. That was an interesting journey you sent me on jeebs but the finale is top 5 for the year. I still do need to smoke the Diamond Crown I skipped cause of being on call. Probably tomorrow.

Excellent. You had to kiss a lot of frogs to get to the prince lol. You made this one sound excellent, I can’t wait to burn one myself.

82406 Diamond Crown Julius Caesar with thanks to jeebling. Last jeebs smoke.

Wide open draw, sweet and spicy. Almost vanilla bean-y on retro. Very nice smooth smoke. I've had these before but the price tag keeps em out of my humidor, but I like them a lot. Nice well aged tobaccos with a rich earthiness, sweet finish, savory rich texture. Decadent is the word. I like nice things but sometimes something feels too nice for me. This is one of those things. I don't eat sweets for reasons, but like that mini pecan pie jeebling sent, I indulged in half and it was so good. Too good. I had to share the other half.

Dessert gave way to sharper earthy tones with deep mineral notes, that nice Dominican profile. There are few cigars I feel give a significant ROI once you get into the over $12 range. This is one of them. I also don't typically enjoy Churchill because I get bored after an hour.

Little past halfway and it turns up the volume. Big flavors, big spice, strong retro. Still with a creamy rich sweet finish.

This cigar may also join the top 5 of the year list as well. That top 5 list is probably 10 cigars long but I'm going with it. Excellent cigar, 5/5.

82407 - CAO MX2 robusto

82408 - AF Casa Fuente Robusto

Danm's review of that Ceasar reminded me that I've been sitting on a few robusto's so.....

82409 - Diamond Crown Julius Ceasar Robusto
My local ShopRite has a decent cigar assortment at much better then B&M prices, if I remember correctly most of thier selection go for roughly online prices. And are kept impeccable.

I like the Julius Caesar
