Incredible. Hope it's a great smoke for you.
Fuente Petite Corona
5 X 38
Cameroon over Dominican
Been exploring Fuente more after a few stellar performances from Don Carlos, Gran Reserva, and Opus X.
Great smoke right off the shelf. Ordered a 25 box shortly after. $5/stick = Yes

I’m enjoying it very much. Its aroma is great—pungent and earthy. The flavour is mild, slightly floral, with forward cedar notes tied in a bit of an astringent mouth feel. @onepyrotec sent me this because I had mentioned that I hadn’t had a Fonseca in many, many years—the unique vegetal notes that the Fonseca cigars I smoked in the early ’90s were unlike any cigars I’ve had since. This is wholly different, but a pleasure to smoke none the less.
Having a Super-Premium 2nds Perfecto, 4.5" x 60 on the porch.
Hope that cigar treated you right and you didn't need your perfect draw ;-)
They were the best machine mades I have ever had IMHO. Bought every box I ever found from the 80's. 2000's and on just are not the same. Decent cigars, just not the same.
I had old PUNCH and R.A.s Belvederes. Not as good for me, sold many boxes of those cheap.
RP Edge Maduro for lunch.

Foundry Elements Uranium Skeleton. That’s a mouthful. Wasn’t expecting much out of this one. I’m pleasantly surprised. Going to try and find some more info on it and see wth I’m smoking 
Little bit of Bumbo XO rum to go with it. Just fired up the grill!

Foundation Charter Oak Habano. Lovely, rich medium-bodied smoke. Great construction as well.
Bahia Black Ops and a cup of black
Balmoral Anejo XO Oscuro Rothschild Masivo 5 x 55, Mexican-DR-Brazilian/DR/Nic.
I am not usually fond of Mexican wrappers but, these have been decent smokes. I don‘t really recall how I came by these.

Two months ago I attended an antique militaria show. Walked out with a reproduction Kentucky rifle and this object. Supposedly a cigar, circa 1870s.
$15 for the ability to honestly say, "I smoked a cigar that's probably older than any two members of this forum combined".
*postscript, but pre-post: tastes mild and old, maybe a tiny bit bitter, but still recognizably like a cigar. Closest approximation, probably a Connecticut.
...hell, this might BE a Connecticut.

Having a Gran Habano Vintage 2002 Churchill (listed as a 7.0" x 50, but, it’s closer to 46) on the porch, while Wasabi chills. It’s 68⁰ and sunny with a light breeze today.
Foundation The Wise Man Maduro Corona, hopefully about to catch some swamp donkeys on top water!
