Little VSG for me earlier
What a nice day.
And tomorrow I get to go fish for a few days

Fancy Fuente for my drive to the river
Great flavors, reminds me of a good Casdagli (or Casdagli is like a good Fuente?)
A loose draw and perhaps other factors resulted in a poor burn all the way down. Fortunately, this smoke tolerated the extra attention from the torch
In other news, this Last Call burned like a champ. Outside
And a little Antaño, showing a little wind- blow but doing just fine

Looks like some great backdrops for a smoke!
Bummer to hear about bad construction on such a HTF (and pricey!) stick. I have had that exact experience with poor construction on about half of the Casdagli sticks I've had, but never a problem with the Don Arturos.
Which Casdagli did that one remind you of? I love me some Don Arturos and buy them up every chance I get - it's essentially an Opus with a Habano vs Corojo wrapper (still from Fuente's farm).
An Aladino and a cappuccino. Aladino Cameroon Lonsdale to be exact.
Double Aladino Day: A Corojo Reserva Robusto.
Wonky day and a busy weekend ahead: a Last Call Habano fits perfectly.
Seconded
Although I guess I forgot to take a Pic. This is yesterday's- did anyone notice?
I packed a few of these. Just a great, easy, affordable smoke
Yeah, good news is that flavors maintained through the shitty burn. And my local sells Fuente at retail so I'm pretty sure this was under $20. Still, that's a lot of money ... and a lot of work
I smoked through 5 each Casdagli Cabinet Rosetta, Rosetta Maduro, and Romano, as well as 5 Basilica C#3. Aside from a general similarity that is probably "high end Dominican Cigar," I thought there were distinct similarities to the C#3
Interesting you had burn issues with Casdagli. I did too, to the point that I'm done with the brand, at least for now. I mentioned this to Katman a few months ago- he said same thing
I thought maybe they needed to be wetter, so I put a few in a 68°F 69RH box for a couple months. This moved the needle, but nowhere near enough.
Here's a $4 Hot Cake that burned like a champ, outside in the wind
Oliva Serie V maduro No. 4 this evening. Tasty smoke.
