Had a flavored cigarillo with the wife 
I never thought I’d get to try a Liga Privada No. 9, but today was my lucky day. I went and shot sporting clays with my father-in-law and some of his friends this morning, and one of them pulls out a 3 finger case full of Liga’s and my jaw just about hit the floor. Seriously baller move to bring them as your gun range cigars! I got to take another one home, and I shot a personal best 89/100. I’ve had worse Sundays. 
I haven’t tried a full size one (yet), but the Liga 9 coronets are really good!
This evening my wife joined me on the deck for a Native Spirit menthol while I had a Romeo y Julieta 1875 Petit Bully. The best times are when she’s by my side.
This was her third cigarette since 1985. I’ve always found cigarettes nasty, but I could smell some pleasant tobacco in the smoke.
The RyJ was the third from a tin I bought in January. The first, in January, had a draw so tight that I had to toss it. The second, in March, was a little easier. This one, after 6 months in the humidor, had a much easier draw, but also a much stronger flavor, much more coffee I think. Not my favorite, but not unpleasant either. It was a nice, relaxing way to end the day.

I was planning on getting some of the coronets, myself. It’s the only way I can afford to suck that sweet nectar no. 9
Pretty good considering it took 2 weeks in transit and I only gave it a week in my humidor. I wish I dry-boxed it for a day or two though. The draw was very open though, kind of like a machine made short filler cigar, but burnt pretty well.
No complaints with the burn, tasted great, a lot of black pepper on the retrohale until I was an inch in or so.
I've only had this one and one natural 2000 to compare so not very experienced with Padrons flavour profile although I don't think they were exactly the same blend. I could be wrong, or it could be the slight size difference but I'm only going off 2 cigars worth of smoking time.
Definitely worth a try, maybe to compare with the other violas but not much price difference to really sway away from say a 2000 if you prefer that little bit more.
The very open draw has me leaning back to the 2000 though when I reorder. If I order more Delicias they will be taking a long nap, felt like it needed more age to be honest.
The T52s are also very good: I haven't decided which I like better yet. To play it safe, it's probably best to get both. Scientific research, you know.I was planning on getting some of the coronets, myself. It’s the only way I can afford to suck that sweet nectar no. 9
Cruzado Marelas Supremas. I really like the sweeter aspects of this flavor profile. They contrast masterfully with the powdery grain and light cocoa from the Criollo.

Here are the last couple days worth of bands, no cigar pics excluding the Tatuaje T110 I'm having tonight.
I can, without reservation, recommend trying them all. Probably like the RoMa Baka at the top spot. I honestly like most things Plansencia. Cannot go wrong with Olmec either.
I stopped saving bands a while back, these were just tossed in a pile until I could toss them in the bin and I hadn't posted in a while.
Sobremesa Brûlée Blue for breakfast. Last day of my vacation.
