Had a Dissident Rave this afternoon, very enjoyable
Now smoking a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro. Quality stick, but almost too strong for me.
A little late, but smoked a fantastic little Montecristo No.5 the other night.
Will be buying another 5 pack of those pronto.
Going to stock up on Habanos now that I've got a decent stash of pipe tobacco.
So far with the 5 pack I have a Diplomaticos No 2, H.Upmann No.2, and a Vegas Robaina Famoso sitting in the humidor. Will be looking more into the Petit corona size for occasional 'budget' smokes since I'm buying locally in Oz.
(that five pack of MC #5's cost about $120 Aussie Dollars...)
Also, if anybody has any suggestions for 'new world' cigars that are close to a Habano profile I'm all ears.
PS.
Will post pictures next time I light one up

I haven't had any other offering from Ramon Allones, but I enjoy these a lot. I'm not a fan of the Churchill-ish sizes, I smoke slow and a Churchill can take me about 2.5 to 3 hours which I generally don't have spare.

Understand that completely - I used to smoke Double Coronas before I had children. Now, it's usually a pipe because they're easy to put down and deal with this and that. The Small Club Corona is a winner, for sure.
I've never come across one, however Rob @ FriendsofHabanos has been busy blending a line of sticks called "Nudies" that are made with un-Cuban tobacco and reviews out there suggest he has succeeded in matching much of the Habanos character. They've only been available sporadically and I have not tried one to confirm.
That said, there are many quality New World cigars, but none that replicate the Habanos experience.
Awesome, thanks for the reply @pantsBoots - will look that up out of curiosity ( FOH etc ).
FQ Proper with last night's roast of Rwandan coffee 
Sancho Panza Double Maduro robusto. New to me smoke and I'm liking it. Not lacking flavor for sure.
Slowly working my way through a non cuban Cohiba sampler I was gifted a couple of years back.
Smoking a Cohiba Blue. Not that bad, but the draw needed fixing and the flavors are lacking. I may have to give the rest away.

After a cauliflower crust pizza lunch I'm moving on to a Montecristo Perlado toro.
