What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

Yes, that is correct.

@kcghost Nice! Did you get it online, or locally?

I bought one at a small shop downstate in March. It was very good until the last 2”, then the draw tightened up severely. I’d still buy another, though.

Did you have any of the NHC lonsdales this blend is based on that were released around 2012 or so? If so, how did this compare? Those were awesome and I'm glad they're coming back around in this format.

The first box I ever bought was these, back in March. It was a big deal to me, to buy a whole box.
They remain a favorite, and are smoking nicely with 5 months humi time.

The Little Eyes spying over the arm rest… LOL

Not every day is a Padron day. I didn’t have lots of time this evening, so I fired up a Don Lino Dark Horse, which I received from Holt’s COTM early in the year. After 6 months in the tupperdor, the draw was still as tight as a floozy’s skirt, fairly normal for a Holt’s selection. Flavor was unremarkable, but the aroma was pleasant, and that’s primarily what I wanted for a half hour. I won’t buy them again, but I don’t regret this one.

Very similar! I can't remember the wrapper on the NHC but I do remember the coffee note on both the LLE and the NHC are similar. It is a rounded latte note and balanced that stays around throughout the whole cigar to the nub. I wish I ordered a box sight unseen. Hopefully they release these next year.

I am having burn issues with the box I bought. About half are touch-up city and half are decent. How was this for you?

Thanks. I was curious whether they’re available online. There’s little chance that the b&m chain will start carrying them, so I’ll have to get a few more when I’m downstate next time.

I used to love the limited edition The Last Tsar but not the regular edition that is sold now. I think Caldwell is aging this less.

Bummer

Mine was Davidoff perfect. Was inside lounge, then in car though. Guy said shop humi is 69-70RH if that means anything to ya

Draw was on the tighter side of acceptable. I've only smoked this 1, but have 2 more...
