Nice tip.
Best smoke I've had lately was the Four Kicks "Mule Kick" 2023 LE.
Last I checked they could still be found.
Don't immediately recall how this was different, if at all, from regular lineup
I tried a 4-pack of the plain, unflavored, in bottles.
They're a nice "treat" for me. On the rare occasions that I've drank soda lately it leaves me feeling bad afterwards, probably due to the sugar onslaught. Ahh, to be over 40
I have a box of these too! Haven’t had one yet. I also bought the Capa Especial Limited Edition Lanceros. They are excellent!
Post-work choice:
Went with the La Madrina Shade Corona (the other is also Dapper, Siempre Rosado Robusto).
After 2 previous fails with tight draws this one smoked magnificently. 5 months in the humi. 1 left...
Good, but not great enough to dissuade me from next planned purchase being Warped La Colmena
Wishing you all a pleasant Friday

Sweet. Let us know how they are for you!
My buddy brought one over back in April on an unseasonably pleasant evening. First outside smoke if I remember correctly. Set/setting was definitely at play, but it was also a damn fine smoke.
Something else I've been tempted by is Smokingpipes has Mil Días XX Marevas from 2020....
Giving the mini La Volcada another chance
2nd from the tin, way too tight like the 1st.
Carefully drilled out w perfectdraw, smoking nicely.
This blend has a lot of good to offer, but if they're all tight like this I'm not sure I'll be willing to work for it.

I have not, this was my first Four Kicks, though I do have a 2023 Mule Kick on hand. I'll keep an eye out for them.
AJ Fernandez Enclave Broadleaf Toro, the last one from my AJ 5 cigar sampler.
Be well everyone!
Be well everyone!

Crowned Heads Mil Días Sublime tonight with a cooling rain shower 
I haven’t had the Marevas but the regular Mil Dias line is great. Crowned Heads seems to be solid with everything the make. All the Four Kicks lines are great, Le Careme is pretty good but Le Patissier is fantastic. I also really like the Headley Grange offerings and the CHC line.
Sobremesa Solita by Dunbarton. Very earthy with coffee notes and a long chewy sweet finish. Not my thing at all, the earth is relentless with no cream wagon to carry you. This cigar I believe has worked everyday of its life in the dirt, this cigar needs a Sombrero rather than a crown.
Partagas Black. This was the first cigar I ever smoked and I loved it. Well, I still think it tastes fantastic, but this stick was absolutely frustrating. It needed constant touch ups and had a very tight draw. After an hour of fiddling with it and only about half way through, I gave up. 
Carillo Stella
There is some consistent light sharpness across these. I've had them only 3 months.
Think I should pause and come back in another 3 months?
This is 4 of 20

Caldwell Paradise Lost Maduro. This was delightful.
That and the Forever Fresh are the best Lost and Founds. 22min Habano is really the best of all Caldwells I’ve had too esp if you can get it under $10.
