I've been real happy with the Padron Delicias (4.8 X 46) I bought last summer. The Standard line or whatever they call these is real good.

I’m too impatient! I let them sit for about a week then dive right in.
I think so, yes.
Hopefully others with more experience can share too...
From what I understand, Anejos are predictably released twice per year- around Father's day and again before Christmas.
The Opus and variants? No idea if there is any rhyme or reason to their release
I do know that they go to certain stores (Fuente accounts), and different accounts get more (or less) depending on sales.
Another "thing" (that I think is kinda gross) is that some stores put them out "for sale" just like any other product. Other stores hoard them, slow-drip them into stock, charge extra, or keep them aside for the "cool kids."
DTT GFY L3 for Saturday morning. Have a good day, gents!
La Dueña Petite Belicoso
Quite good, 7 mo.
Another misty foggy day here, strange for late December. Glad the rain stopped. 35°F, 97RH outside

Cult Maduro
I have praised these budget cigars before. Today it’s no different. It’s an exceptional again.
Of course I don’t know whether they are really budget cigar, or they were a commercial failure so sold at a deep discount.

I’m tempted to try these out, but pipes have reduced my cigar consumption severely, and my tupperdors are already pretty full. But one or two couldn’t hurt, right?
As for me, I’m enjoying the 38 degree weather and watching it melt the slush out of my driveway, while smoking a La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut churchill. Another few days of this weather and I might even be able to get up the hill without 4WD.
Makes sense Ben, thanks
My buddy brought over a couple Opus X Lost City double robustos
Started the day with a Warfighter Minutemen Maduro 4x44. 
It’s an unseasonably warm day today, so having my afternoon cigar in the backyard. Thought it was a time for selfie 
The cigar is Caldwell Cigars Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro

Boveda bags are great for "temporary" overflow[...] my tupperdors are already pretty full. But one or two couldn’t hurt, right?

Humidor Bags
Sturdy humidor bags preloaded with Boveda for cigar storage & travel. The protective moisture barrier of a tupperdor with the convenience of a humidor bag.

I'm liking this weather too! Garage smokes with the door open
Had this Drew Estate Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig tonight. Didn't get the DFK taste I know from pipe tobacco, but it was a very pleasant smoke.
Mi Querida Black SakaKhan. It's like a marriage cigar, there's a commitment involved at 7.25 inches and 54 ring. A real flavor bomb.
