I was never a big fan of La Aurora, but this is my first Corojo wrapper version; excellent smooth and tangy taste

This a is a great cigar, but for some reason I could not keep it lit, and it tunneled four times - my humidor is set up right (all my other cigars have smoked perfectly). Must be something in the construction because that wrapper just didn’t want to burn

No matter how perfect the cigar process. Sometimes you just get a dud

With 95 degree temps, a good ceiling fan and a drink, a Don Diego Robusto is quite enjoyable. Happy Independence Day folks!!

DUJO - hay, earth, and leather profile - quite an elegant smoke

Yes - I just recently found out that the guy is retired Airborne and actually jumped in the D- Day commemoration at Normandy last year. Quite a guy. I have a few more on order and will forward a few sticks your way Tim

Best to the family!

You get a dud every now and then. These Sindicato Hex Churchill’s were purchased a few years ago and they were truly good cigars when fresh. I decided to smoke the last one today. Not very pleasant - mostly salt and bitter tobacco flavor. Not like the chocolate/coffee notes I remember from years ago. Oh well - some cigars just don’t age well. It’s a crap shoot.

The 1 major side effect that turns me off cigars is the cigar mouth I get for 2 days afterwards.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

People react differently to that aspect. Some have serious aftertaste issues for days, while others like myself only have the problem for a few hours. There are remedies -- brushing and mouthwash are the most effective, but the mouthwash is the most critical.

This stuff kills most cigar taste and odor in a few hours, if used once/twice within that time period. It's a two-part activated rinse that doesn't rely on alcohol and flavorings to do the work.

Very hot today, but this La Aroma De Cuba - box-pressed Maduro Toro is spicy and full of dried fruit flavor. Perfect compliment to an Espresso or strong Cuban coffee

Happy weekend!

This is the last one in my humidor. These are great cigars and will definitely place an order next week.

Thanks for recommending these Jabber!

Much appreciated -
