Great info, I always attributed it to being a bit more spicier taste profile and to age. Maybe the spice and magnesium go hand in hand somehow. When smoking a "mellower" cigar I never get a compact white ash like that.

I'm kind of shocked in that I almost always prefer a skinnier cigar - the skinnier, the better. My favorite Hoyo was the du Gourmet, my favorite Por Larrañaga is the Monte Carlos, and favorite La Gloria were the Medaille d'Oro no 1 and 3. With the Air Bender, however, I actually prefer the Maestro, which is a 52 RG behemoth of a robusto (for me). It's a better blend than the Matatan, which is a traditional 5 x 50 robusto. I do wish they'd release the lancero again - can't remember if I ever tried one.
From my sampler of twelve "dog-walker" cigars, not cigarillos but short, from Iwan Ries, I smoke one of twelve cigars the first of each month, so for April Fool's Day, I chose the Romeo Y Julieta, that famous old Dominican Republic standard, with lively flavor and a bit of sweetness.
For my April Fools joke, I told my wife there was a hen on the front porch, a possibility since the neighborhood has an urban chicken coop in one yard. I quickly admitted that this was a lame April Fool's joke. My wife is a farm girl, so was momentarily thrilled, and got a good laugh when it was a joke.

Stolen Throne, Three Kingdom’s with Brazilian coffee
Bolivar Confrida 554, nice weather , brisk 69 degs, litlle NE wind,
Ezra Zion Nomad Flux Capacitor, excellent cigar, Corona is my favorite size
Excellent choice and fine palate
Melanio in the race, the last one left me with a good memory image
Crowned Heads Four Kicks Capa Especial Corona Gorda. Edit: this cigar spent 5 weeks in a leather case outside of the humidor but was returned to me and I put it away for the winter. It seems fine, tastes great.

Been resting for about a month in the humidor. Very interesting smoke, the retro is quite nice, creamy. A touch green for my tastes still after a month though.

Oof! Those are strong little cigars when young. Hell, if that's the Power Ranger, they're strong 10 years down the road.
@pantsBoots I got'er at my local, so chances are she's at least a few years old. Regular Opus X belicoso. Definitely fuller flavored, but so extremely smooth and well constructed.
