Was still craving a bit more cigar after the Prensado, so chasing that with a Factory Smokes Sungrown.

These 'little' No.5's sure burn great for a small cigar ( 40RG x 4" ) - another 10mins and I'll be done
I thought I'd get 20mins out of em but I'll take an hour no worries!
Smoking great so far for my 2nd.
Actually I don't recall having any real issues with Monte's , think I'll stick with em.

'15 Lusy, dark aromas, peat, earth and wood, also a notable spiciness. A little sitting at the beginning, but then a nice change of pace.

Love it, many Of my days include bikes and cigars or pipes. I’m going To get some Apostates soon. My buddy is friends with the owners from Utah. I’ve heard good things and they are good guys.
Brandon Oveson is out burning up the road right now, he swung through here but I wasn't able to get down to meet him. I do like two of the three blends, The Liahona & The Deseret for better complexity and flavor. The Initiatory was fine but a bit one dimensional to me, there was an undertone of harshness I couldn't pin down, not overbearing but off putting at least to me. They are definitely worth a try if you see them out there.
I wasn't going to post a picture of this Reyes but the cold draw changed my mind, just a top pic with a cup of coffee or tea.
Rojas Statement with Mexican Altura Chiapas Serranos coffee 
This being the first day of the month, I'm observing my ritual of smoking another of my original twelve "dog walker" (small) cigar samples from Iwan Ries. This month's more or less random selection is a Camacho, "Infamous Since 1982," according to the band. It's rich and lively flavored, but more refined than I expected from its motto. It has a nice draw and a good even burn. It's a evening smoke after a day with a few rough spots. I'll keep this one in mind for future reference. I'm not a big cigar guy, but sometimes a good cigar is a good cigar.
Nice.
What colour is the label on that Camacho @mso489 ? I've been wanting to try their different colours/wrappers.

Brendan, my little Camacho had a bright orange band which I removed to smoke it down to the nub. A good smoke. I'd recommend, despite my novice cigar status.
Cool, thanks.
Looked it up because I couldn't remember if Orange or Yellow were the Connecticut wrappers, but the orange is.
Will give em a go one day.
Being owned by Davidoff I'd be surprised if they did not meet the same standards construction wise.

Nicaraguan overrun with Guatemalan coffee 
Had a great day yesterday with friends. Smoked a couple of cigars.
Today I'm smoking an Oliva Serie G Maduro. I think I like the Cameroon more than the Maduro, but this is still a great budget stick.
