Just finished it! Really enjoyed it. Started opening up a little before the half way point and only got better from there.
Nice. I've been into LFD lately. Got some Double Ligero 452s resting for the summer, and another order brewing...

Davidoff Dominican Primero with my buddy tonight, after his kid's Christmas concert

He also gifted me a couple Carillo TAAs from last year ('23). Love these

AF Flor Fina 8-5-8 Sungrown for Fuente Friday. Have a good one, y’all!View attachment 357100
Hell yeah, strong start

Late (as usual) to Fuente Friday- Fired up an Opus X Pussycat

Decent, some sharpness at times. Nowhere near as rich or complex as other Xs I've had. 4 months in the box but I couldn't resist. Won't be touching another for at least 6 months but glad I tried one

Little over an hour...

CAO Amazon Basin with my buddy

These are from the '24 release, which was back in early January. He snapped up a box right away, and so they've been rested nearly a full year.

These smoked perfectly, with good flavors. Mellowing somewhat, relative to the ones we've smoked since last winter.

Couldn't recall price so I searched a bit- Peretti has singles for $10(?) I can highly recommended at that price. Worth a try. They have some rare and unique jungle tobacco in 'em, and you can tell it's there, but i might wish there was a bit more. But all in all a nice 2 hour Toro

* I smoked the "band" this time oh yeah

I may have to order a few of these. I’ve yet to have an enjoyable CAO cigar, but these sounded interesting.
