Today, Micallef Migdalia SE. I bought a bunch of these as well as the Migdalia Petite Corona on super sale. I've smoked a few and found them acidic-tart tasting (is this the Sumatra binder?). Today, after about 6 months humi time, they are wonderfully lemony-nutty.

Ah, about 200 miles west of you! Fishing for steelhead in the Brule River State Forest (WI)

*3 days, couldn't find a fish. Not uncommon. Beautiful weather, good smokes. Chance at 30" lake-run trout..

Nice area! I haven’t been up there since the mid-80s, but it’s always nice to see shots of the north woods.

Immaculate 1964 Maduro courtesy of @JoeW . Thanks, amigo! I almost never buy Padron maduros as I prefer the naturals, but this is insanely good with a flavor of dark chocolate-covered cherries.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it (and nice scenery)! I'm afraid that I'm not refined enough (yet) to get the flavor from the maduros: the naturals have a little more flavor kick to me. I will say, though, that these are my favorite of all the maduros I've had.
