Been too cold here in Cajun land to sit on porch facing the North, winds over 15 mph are the daily winds, but reading what you fellows are puffing is helping me, love it!

A different kind of cigar pic, here's the leftovers from my week in cigars:
Tonight's offering is a Highclere Castle Victorian Corona.
Espinosa Alibi. Haven't had anything from him since it was Espinosa y Ortega. Decent cigar, but wouldn't buy again.
Perdomo Reserve Sun Grown 10th Anniversary.
This may have been from my Secret Santa...

One of these
with a taste of Brandy...numnumnumnum ?
Enjoy m’lord! Gotta try one of those. I really like Nick‘s blends. Charter Oak and Tabernacle CT 142
Try the Laranja or Murcielago if you like bolder maduro deep cigars. I’m an Espinosa fan.
The Stalk by Leaf, by Oscar (Oscar Valladares, Private label for Cigar King) Great Burn, nice mild cigar, The Maduro was much more my speed. Excellent value though. 
I'm not big into Nicaraguan tobacco (preferring Cuban, Dominican, and, lately, Honduran for the first time ever), but I have eyed the Laranja a time or two. I remember the Murcielago from when it came out years ago and remember not liking it, but I know blends change sometimes.
I'll have to keep my eye out for skinny Laranja next time I'm in a B&M
'13 Por Larrañaga Monte Carlos. I don't know what was with that particular vintage, but my '15 Habanos are fully opened up as far as flavor development and are firing on all cylinders. The '13 I still have are still just slowly evolving into spectacular examples of their respective blend, almost like 90s and earlier Habanos. I've seen it across multiple brands, namely Hoyo de Monterrey, Por Larrañaga, Ramon Allones, Bolivar, Upmann, and Partagas. If I could find reasonably priced boxes of '13 stock, I'd buy all I could.
Had the new Warped Companion de Warped this afternoon. Excellent cigar.
Forget what I said, if you don’t like the earthy, dark, Nicaraguan style, then these aren’t your jam. I can’t enjoy cigars with pepper spice or high strength. Full flavor and body yes.
The pepper spice is what keeps me from liking most Nicaraguan cigars. Well, that and the fact that so many are little more than pepper and earth with maybe some chocolate here and there.
Montecristo Classic Series,gonna sit out in the sun and enjoy.
My friend, you have made me jealous today. Not only were those cigars the most idiotic cancellation to date, but MUR 13 was a banner factory and year. Enjoy those in good health!
Forgive me, I didn't want to arouse your jealousy, it was my intention to agree with you and propose another brand to your list.
I fully agree with the unreasonable exclusion of the MoO line, only # 4 remains, and it is not easy to find.
Thanks for your considerations!

Oh, the pleasure was all mine - I remember those cigars dearly.
Last I knew, the #4 was also discontinued. Have you seen any box codes from the last 3 years or so? I sure hope so, but I think LGC is now a Regional-only marca
