10 good boxes. Well 5x5s, i grabbed them right before the price increase.You sir got a good box. I thought it may have been a #5 but my only reserve was the last 3 boxes I had were not very good. Not as tasty and didn't burn right.

Yes a 5 from 2020
I've smoked through a box of 2020 #5's recently, and they definitely vary. When they're great, they're GREAT.You sir got a good box. I thought it may have been a #5 but my only reserve was the last 3 boxes I had were not very good. Not as tasty and didn't burn right.
I found I had to dry box the hell out of them as well, vendor shipped them damper than normal and that had an effect of course, had a few plugged, and some that tasted like they were in a sick period all of which i'll just attribute to them being wet sponged, let a bunch dry box for a couple weeks and it's like night and day.I've smoked through a box of 2020 #5's recently, and they definitely vary.

Interesting side note, I actually gave Dion the Cruzado name and idea for the line. Although it didn't turn out the way he originally intended, it came out much better. I buy some every time I stop in to visit at his shop. (need to stop in soon again)Illusione Cruzado with a cup of Peruvian coffeeView attachment 163991
Happy Birthday!Turned 33 today, so I thought I’d go a bit higher class and cross one off my bucket list. Really a fantastic cigar. I might have to buy a box that only gets opened on the birthday.

I do want to add, that in no way did I have ANY input on his blend. That was all him and his roller. Lot of back story on how it got to this point, better done in private being long if interested. BUT I offered him two established names and "I" originally wanted to do a nice priced bundle with them.Nice!
