First time but something is wrong w/this cigar. Ash bloom and nasty industrial chemical taste on my lips from the wrapper. Couldn’t smoke this one.

*thank you, Leebo. Looks like you’ve got a stand in today…or got a haircut?

Next number should be 82301.

82310 Perdomo 20th anniversary CT with thanks to jeebling.

Excellent typical high end Connie. Smoked till my fingers got hot. Didn't take long, only about 45 minutes. Not sure if that's me or thr cigar smoking fast but it didn't give me any issues

I have huge respect for Perdomo as a company. I just wish they'd do some wild chit. They make solid, reliable, good cigars at a fair price. I'd love to see what they could make if they broke the mold a bit. One of Nick's kids could do an offshoot company and utilize dad's farms and factory to make some more interesting things. It's been ages since I've had one and this is exactly what I remember. Impeccable construction quality, consistent blending, good cigar. I spose it works for Davidoff and Padron, slow and steady. But I'm left wondering what they could do. Make a $20 cigar and I guarantee they'd be picking at those other consistent brands. Perdomo family reserve.

82311 Perdomo Champagne with thanks to jeebling.

This one isn't as good as the 20th, but it is what I remember the Champagne being. Where the 20th was a high end Connie, this is more a midrange. Lighter in flavor and texture. Still decent to good. Just a nice pleasant smoke. Nothing to excite or offend.

82312: Macanudo Gold Label Toro
Same as usual though I’ve had a few lately that were off. This one was ok.

There are no g-g-glitches in my s-system.

I was talking about those La Aurora Preferidos parejos the other day and the price discrepancies between the toros and romustos, and tenski fixed that. I wonder if they read my stuff? 🤔

Their pricing did not make sense. The romustos were about $55 for a 5ver, but the toros were only $25. But a box of toros was over $230+ (for 18 cigars) when you could buy 4 of the 5packs for $100. It was weird. Then they raised the price to about $36 for a 5ver of the toros, which made me want them less, but was still inconsistent with the box price. Now they've raised them to over $60. They went from $25 to $63 in a little over a week. They read my stuff.

Now I wish I had bought them for $25. Even though I didn't want them.
