Ah chit, I thought they might be having a Father’s Day deal going on. I think they had a Father’s Day deal last year. I guess I missed out.

She didn't say and I didn't think to ask. I'd be willing to bet they are having a different sale for Father's Day, tho.

I hope. I was planning on getting a few for this weekend.
8- 10$12$ smokes and 3 Ashton ESG’s

I don’t know if it’s worth what I paid for it but I’ll be damned if this MF ain’t tasty AF.

Try one of those Blackened M81's. I like to read your thoughts on it.

I will, It looks good.
I guess I should have asked. Did you like it enough that you would buy it again?

Yes. It was a bit stronger than the Ashtons, but very good.

Thompson's is having a 35% off sale that ends today. No, Padron, Ashtons, etc are not included but you can get some tasty deals on some things that are not likely to be in the 5pack or auctions. I would totally spend it on something like:
Kristoff Ligero Robusto Maduro - Thompson Cigar or chose from their samplers. That is one way to get around the limits to some brand discounts.

Fella at the cigar bar talked me into trying this one today. Smells great out of the box, but a fairly unremarkable smoke. Tough draw also.

I gotta join Thompson’s. Seems like their quality of cigars on the 5 packs are really good and they have some great deals like this, often.

I think most LFD’s have a little more pepper than I like. I like pepper but I don’t want it to completely dominate the whole cigar.

If you liked that, this is a really good choice also.

Nice aroma off the foot. A mixture of chocolate and citrus.

1st third- light on the (white) pepper, cocoa, oak, leather seared beef and a chalky after taste. And maybe a sweet hay. Nothing overbearing, just a nice mixture of flavors. Also a nutmeg taste.

Light to medium smoke

Nice even burn, a perfect draw and a Well put together cigar..



Second third- cocoa not as prevalent, more of an espresso and leather with the sweet hay.

Great burn, and again a well put together cigar. Strength has went to more of a medium to full.

Last third- more of the same. A little more pepper.

Really nice stick. Nice flavors all the way through, really good burn and a well put together smoke with an amazing draw.

Toro size- hour and thirty minute smoke.

My first couple of draws were mildly off putting, however, the flavors that followed those first draws were well received. It is now one of my favorites.

My first couple of draws were kinda void of any flavor. Just a bland smoke. You are right about the flavor coming on after though.

The smell off the foot was amazing. I will definitely buy this again.

After I got into it, I had a hard time putting it down. Most of the time when I do that, it’s a really good smoke.

It’s another Padron night.

Do they still sell Zig Zags?
