I noticed you smoke those Toscanos now and then. I've seen them at my Cigar store, I might have to try one sometime.
I think you will like them. They have a bit of a different taste to conventional cigars and are of course, smaller. You will get that feeling of wanting to wear a wide brim hat and squint, like Clint Eastwood in "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly."

Bowl ten for the Artist Buddha meer, 50/50 mix of rubbed out 507c and Port Guardian. Was really hoping they’d magically intertwine right out the get go, but things only got anywhere near very good closer to the last quarter of the bowl.
Very strange effect throughout though, the smoke was oily to the point of creating a film in my mouth.
Not so fun.
I will say however that there was a real depth in the way the flavors progressed/transformed during each puff from the height of the brighter leaf down to the darker. This is one of those things though where I think these blends would really need to be compressed or otherwise melded together to really work.
Either way, hope you all have a good weekend!

It's funny you say that, cause I'm watching this behind the scenes thing right now of the Good the Bad and the Ugly. You know the guy that played Tuco, was a medic in the Army during WW2, thought that was pretty cool.
