Received a nice package from Europe today. Ramon Allones Habanos for the humidor. A year or so of aging and they’ll be ready to party. A great cigar!

Any cigar smokers on the GG?

RP Sun Grown - a budget friendly offering, and very flavorful. Sweet tobacco taste and just a hint of chocolate on the finish. 

Interesting note - half way through and this stick started to taste like sweet vanilla - on the draw and the finish. Pleasant, but also surprising. It’s the first time I’ve tasted that nuance in this line of cigars.

Got this one as a gift. Very impressive - medium body, lots of wood, leather, cedar notes.

Villiger Trill Robusto - great earth and hay aroma with a slightly sweet coffee note

Villiger Selecto in Robusto size. Great mild/medium smoke and sweet tobacco flavor. Not a complex flavor bomb, but a nice consistent profile.

Dave Blanco knows how to make a great budget friendly cigar. A great earthy and sweet cedar taste. A true gem!

Blanco Primos Exclusivo in a large Gordo size. It’s good, but as a rule I don’t like the thick gauge cigar sizes beyond a Toro. Thick cigars don’t taste as good or are as well balanced as their smaller gauge counterparts - in my opinion.

Have the same opinion just too much filler in the "donkey dick" gauge cigars.
