The last three of these La Palina reds have had a difficult draw. I will not be purchasing them again.

Did you try lightly rolling them between your hands? @loggervol provided that tip.

Do you recognize this @malinoisvol? It’s been aging fo about a year and a half.

How is it? I have noticed 6 months in the humidor does a cigar good.

Enjoying the last of my E. P-Carrillo New Wave reservas after this morning’s bike ride. These are good warm weather smokes.

I liked it, I like the ESG better though

I like the ESG better, also. To be fair tho, I didn't let the VSG age in the humidor.

In contrast to the misbanded red labels, the La Palina oscuros have been consistently enjoyable. After breakfast, I’m on the screened porch experiencing the thunderstorm. Lightning strikes have been several miles away, so far. Time for a cigar.

What humidity level are you storing them? Many really nice cigars are rolled tight. They smoke better at 60 to 65%. Try dry boxing them for a day or two.

Nice day, 82 degrees with 45% humidity. Enjoying an El Rey del Mundo oscuro after lunch. These are fine cigars.

My post bike ride smoke is a La Palina oscuro. These have been fine cigars.

I received my order of blondies. Pale Connecticut wrapped cigars for the coming summer temperatures and my increasing post-breakfast smoking pleasure - A. J. Fernandez Connecticut and Oliva Connecticut robustos. This morning, I’m trying the AJF. Unwrapped, the smell of tobacco is marvelously potent. First impressions, it’s creamy, nutty, citrusy, with a hint of cedar. AJF is going to give you a mild to medium smoke with a lot of flavor. Burning perfectly, with a great draw, clouds of smoke, and a firm ash.

It’s such a pleasant afternoon, I took a seat on the porch and lit up an Oliva Connecticut reserva. A two cigar day? I just didn’t want to wait to try one of these 92 rated beauties. First impressions, smooth, nutty, hint of citrus, vanilla, and a spiciness that is… cinnamon. Good draw, clouds of smoke, even burn, firm ash.

Love the New world. Every one I’ve tried has been good.

That Tabernacle is an interesting prospect, otherwise it’s business as usual for the next few weeks.

Great weather to watch our VOLS. Looking solid so far.

Anybody recommend a stronger, more robust cigar with a sweet undertone?

New world Oscuro immediately comes to mind. Leaves a bit of sweetness on the lips.

Thanks! I’ll try that on my next Cigar Page order.

Cut the grass, weeded the vegetable garden, planted four tomatoes and a pepper that I rescued from seedling oblivion… Time for a cigar and some Tennessee sipping whiskey.

It rained most of the day here. I worked in the garage; weather was perfect for that. Now it’s game time with a Maker’s and an Olivia V. Go VOLS!

 

[Nkyvolfan]

All I did was mow. GO VOLS!!!!
