This week I had a Kentucky Fire Cured and a Perla del Mar, first time having either. The KFC is almost like an English blend, pretty good but I don't know that I'd get another one. The Perla del Mar is a decent Nicaraguan stick, from the criminally underrated JC Newman.
Ramon Bueso Olancho Vintage. The first few from this pack were god awful but this one is excellent.
If you have any more set a couple back for a year, maybe 18 months. They go from pretty decent to Holy sh!t is this even the same cigar!
L’atelier with a cup of Honduran coffee
It’s funny that you say that because I’m pretty sure I laid these down around April of last year, and I haven’t touched any in quite some time. As I was smoking it I was literally asking myself if I was sure it was the same cigar I remembered being so bad before. Too funny!
Gran Habano Persian King Maduro Rajah. One of the cooler looking cigars I’ve ever bought, despite its nakedness. I’ve always held the belief that a gorgeous wrapper is more interesting to look at than even the fanciest of bands 
05 Boli PC … might as well. Just for fun those of you that have been around do you realize 05 was almost 20 yrs ago. Not really all in on this getting old thing. 
Agreed. There's just something so badass about a cigar that comes packaged with nothing on it. It is an invisible to judge it straight up on its merits.Gran Habano Persian King Maduro Rajah.

On the other side of the spectrum, this new non-Cuban Verdon of Los Statos de Luxe in smoking has a band, and then a wrapping of white tissue paper, and then another wrapping of branded tissue paper over that
So far, it's a pretty decent smoke though
I just had one of those a couple months ago, it was a good cigar. But yeah, the packaging seemed a bit wasteful! My wife said, and I quote, “it looks like there’s a giant tampon in your cigar thing”.Agreed. There's just something so badass about a cigar that comes packaged with nothing on it.

SD Desert Rose with some Honduran coffee
Just finished sanding the joint compound on the ceiling and walls of one of the rooms upstairs while Susan was painting the ceiling of the master bedroom. Now we’re relaxing on the porch before UFC starts. I’m having a CAO Flathead 660, 6" x 60 while Wasabi keeps a lookout.
Had a Warped Devil's Hands earlier, very good cigar
'16 Monte No. 2 with some Mexican coffee
I just had a My Father, the original line. I love everything Don Pepin has blended, he's a genius.
