What new cigar trends would you like to see come out of this years' RTDA? As for me, enough with the caustically strong cigars. I want to taste something, have a cigar develop different flavors, not have my head melt down. I'd also like to see more Brazilian wrapped maduros and more lonsdales.

Just smoked a Leon Jimenes Maduro Toro. My God, that is one fine cigar. Great construction. I never fail to smoke it till I burn my fingers.

Nice choice on the Leon Jimenes Maduro Toro ... that's one fine smoke. In fact, I've still got one napping in the humidor, side by side with a certain Excalibur that came highly recommended recently ...

Regarding those caustic sticks that're making your head melt down, I'd be willing to smoke them on your behalf and spare you the agony of that experience ... lol

I'll get back to you on the Excalibur.

You two are talking about my favorite brands!

Just has my last LJMT this week and it was quite decent - MUCH better than when I got them a year ago. I like the beli even better.

jr, I'd like to see some more complex smokes in some smaller ring gauges. These 54+ ring gauges are too hard on my bridge work and make me drool too much.LOL Most of the time my smoking breaks only allow enough time for a corona sized smoke except on the weekends.
I was gifted a Leon Jimenes Maduro (48X6 1/4?)about a year ago, I think it's days are numbered now. Barry

I'd like to see the Partagas Blacks and Perdomo Cuban Parejos in a cuban corona size,I think the PBs in that size would ROCK!

I would also like to see more Brazilian wrappers!! I love those CAO's and can't wait to see what they offer up next. As for sizes, I have an hour commute so I like the larger ring guages so that I stay happy the whole drive to or from... Chris
