Smoked a My Father and a TAA 2020 Tat today while playing golf. Both were good, the My Father was a bit better.

Fonseca by My Father Cosacos. I really think these are quite good and will be a big hit.
Was feeling in a bit of a cigar mood this evening, so pulled out a Johnny O. I've had it a while - I believe it's a World Famous 1966 vitola.
Scent of the cigar is rich barnyard and dry draw tasted of butter cream.
1st third is familiar barnyard & light sugarcane, typical of many Cuban custom/farm rolls, with notes of cream and citrus flitting in and out.
2nd third got much richer with light earth, musty forest floor/mushroom (almost like a Davidoff), cocoa and deep sugarcane notes.
Last third is deep, dark earth with the forest floor being joined by a some woody notes and light fruitiness on the finish.
All in all, Johnny O offers some fantastic cigars (when they're available!) at a fair price, with great construction and they age a dream.

Love me some johnny Os. Need to order some soon, as my stock is low.
Hmm seems like johnnys been out of cigars since the pandemic. Bummer
He has, unfortunately, with travel being restricted to the island. He's champing at the bit more than his customers are to get back up and running, though.
Im sure he is. He needs the money, we need johnny Os!
If you get hard up, I'm open to trading for pipe tobacco.
Charter Oak Habano Lonsdale. It's like 6" x 46, so more of a corona gorda, IMO, but I'll save that fight for those cigarmakers who call 6.5"x 42 cigars lanceros!
Fh
Thanks for the offer. Not hurting too much right now as I have some with a few yrs on them but wanted some fresh WF rolls. Also wanted to see if he had any EL stock. May still hit u up in the near future. ?
Nica libre 25th anni from 2016. Won a 5er of these on auction with a minimim bid. This is my first one of the 5.
Rumor has it that the regular nica libre line are repackaged padron 2nds (x000 series), and therefore these 25th annys are like the 1964/1926 line, so i thought, why not. Its at least 70-80% close. $20-$30 cigar taste for less than $2? Yes, please, all day everyday. I wonder if i can still get em for that cheap.

Por Larrañaga Montecarlo. Very tasty, but prohibitively high-maintenance. Draw still tight after requiring tool from either end, and so, so many relights.
Getting anything with a minimum bid is like Christmas, but especially if they turn out to be great! Good find. ?
Oliva Serie V Melanio. I may have mentioned earlier, but these are now my #1 favorite, pushing Padron 1926 Serie Natural to #2 spot
Oliva V Torpedo, watching Rageing Cajuns and Arkansas, good game. America Heal thy self.
I have one of those sitting in my humidor since Dec 2016, it came in a sampler from cigar.com.
Cohiba Esplendido. No tan esplendido por el precio.
