I smoked that Warped Corto after supper tonight. Warped is like Tatuaje in that the more blends I try, the more I like the maker. I read that the Corto was the first full profile Warp blended. It strikes me as a proper “boutique” cigar, by which I mean it’s very well made, tasty, has some oomph and can go toe-to-toe with other popular premium cigars. I enjoyed it and definitely felt like I had smoked a cigar even though it is a smaller vitola. Thanks, Greg.

A couple of weeks ago I smoked my first Montesino and I believe it was a Maduro. Papa Whiskey sent it to me last March. It was very good and I was surprised because up until then I didn’t recall having heard of it before - though I’m sure there was some mention of it here and there that I missed. I thought it must be a very expensive cigar. When I looked it up I was surprised again, due to the affordable price for such a terrific cigar. I bought a fiver on the spot. I would have bought more but, you know, storage.

For a short smoke the Liga Papas Fritas Unico series are a damn good choice as well, IMO. Worth pulling the trigger when one can find for $4. I have the H99 as well, but haven't ashed one yet. They tend not to go below $5

same here, i had never heard of them but got a few boxes that had been aged for over a decade in the same deal that got me all the aged Padron's and a bunch of Fuente 858s i was very impressed once i found out the current price. if you have the room and patience they make a great budget smoke when aged well.

Is there a place that sells aged boxes or is this a private type trade between individuals?

I checked my notes and the Montesino PW sent was a broadleaf. That’s the fiver I bought and put to sleep but I’ll be getting more if I ever get room in storage.

Yes, that was a broadleaf. I read somewhere that it was one of the first brands that Arturo Fuente came out with. That's what got me to try them. I think my favorite is the robusto or toro broadleaf maduro, basically the same but the toro is 6 inches long and robusto 5 both 50rg. If you don't care about the box and like the size you can get a mazo of 25 Napoleon Grande 7.5x46 for $89 at the Tampa place.
