Arturo Fuente Rosado Sun Grown King T
Bought a box of these, fired up one this morning
I spend a lot of time on a tractor and burning through $20 cigars wasn't a choice.. My local guy put me onto these.. Around $3 a pop and not a bad smoke.
Enjoying some Cornell & Diehl Bayou Nights in this Savinelli Estella. The original stem had the ‘dragon’ logo on it. I sent it in to Savinelli to have them fashion a replacement stem as the previous owner had burned his drill bit inside the stem trying to open it up. I still have the stem and the drill bit….my late pipe smoking mentor rest his soul.

So good to find an acceptable, lower priced option.
I've been liking Fuente Exquisitos, and these little Olivas. This one is Serie G. I do wish the bands would differentiate (O and G have exact same band)
Another cigar tonight: Padron 1926 Serie Natural
@pantsBoots thanks for the nice write up in the Monte #4. I’ll definitely have to keep my eyes peeled for some.
Earlier in the year I bought some Cubans at TopCubans, one I bought was a Monte #5, it’s still in my tupperdor, with all the others.

I see they had the #4 listed for $18, hmm wonder what they’ll be when back in stock.

No.5's are great little sticks @PipeIT
If they are worth the current asking price that is another question. Went through 2 x 5packs the last couple of years and everyone was flawless. Maybe I'll get some more for long term aging after reading that write up

About to try an AJ Fernandez 'Last Call' for the first time - I'm hoping the closed off foot is normal. Didn't realise till I tested the cold draw and thought I'd better take off the band to help loosen it up

Fantastic cigars, but not worth their current price to me. I haven't bought a box of Cuban cigars since 2019. I was looking at resupplying in 2020, but all of a sudden, it was the Rona 'pandy and supply devolved into what it is now. Sad to think I may never buy another box of Havanas, but such is life. Better to have loved and lost and all that.
I have the exact same opinion. The last habanos order I placed was 2018 and it was hard to pull the trigger on those prices back then. The prices now are just unreasonable to me when the comparison is made with "new world" consistency, quality, taste, and frankly legality of acquiring in the US.
Woke up too early, too much to do at work, and caffeine isn’t doing the job, so I’m enjoying a nice Undercrown Shade coronet. It’s very humid out, and the smoke hangs in the air, giving me a chance to enjoy the aroma longer. I really like these little things.

Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve. I can taste a hint of the plum pudding. 
Chubbys Elegidos Short for a nice cool evening. Tasty smoke, idk how I’m ever gonna finish it though
