What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

Ernesto's original La Gloria Cubana is the cigar that really turned my head way back in the '90s! It was a pyramid shaped cigar that came in a half circle box. No idea what it was, but they were spectacular.
Interesting.
I just learned about media ruedas while reading this article, part of a series of articles, on Fuente
I wonder if they were paying homage with the "half circle box" packaging you mention

Having a Perdomo 20th Anniversary Epicure Toro, 6.0" x 56 on the porch. We’re listening to tunes and poor Wasabi is scared by the fireworks and barking his little head off.
Wasabi roped Susan into playing with his stuffed shrimp dumpling toy.

Thanks
I think Carrillos might be amongst my fav gars to fondle. That rustic, dark oily red hued box press on the La Historia with the elaborate label is just.
Hey now here’s a man not afraid to admit he fondles! LOL
Ok, be proud and post here!

Had a Polpetta on the way to work this morning. Feeding and watering my friends is the first priority when I arrive at work. Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust didn't show as being on sale for the 4th of July special at SP, at least not on my phone. Hope everyone had a good 4th.
Still taking it easy as for as pipe goes, scorched my tongue pretty solidly 
So, my last little AF Exquisitos Maduro instead.

La Gloria Cubana Maduro for the first smoke of the day. 
Neat.
Definitely looks like a half-wheel to me. Copy says "each one is packaged in a "half-moon" box which is inspired by the Monument to Heroes of the Restoration which overlooks all of Santiago."
I looked at pictures of this Monument but can't see the connection. Then again I'm on a phone screen...
A little pipe tobacco in a stick. Kind of works but kind of meh.
I enjoyed the navy one when they first came out.
Plasencia Alma Del Fuego Panatela (6.5x38), with some Red Bush.
Great smoke production, and the aroma as good as the Campo and Claro, even the Fuerte, but flavor is a little rougher than the Campo. Feel's like it's turning darker and more bitter as it approaches the last third; not as much as the Fuerte, but more than the Campo. It’s a nice cigar for a cool summer afternoon, though.

Looking forward to this E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut "Stella" after work. Soon...
It smells fantastic

It’s 86⁰ and humid out. Wasabi is moving to various spots trying to get comfy.
I’ll kick back and relax with this smoke until I have to pick up our standing order of pizza in an hour.

It got better towards the end. Had a little more flavor. I think I’ll stick to pipe tobacco in pipes.
