Yes re: the Umbagog and Bronzeback wrappers. They are also apparently wrappers that were not perfect enough to be Mi Queridas, although my Bronzebacks look pretty niceSolita Red was the last and it was awesome. I have the Duque and Barba Amarilla in my humidor waiting patiently. Usually smoke Umbagog and regular Solitas. Aren't Bronzebacks Umbagog with a different wrapper?
SecondedGreat cigar.
So smooth!! I bought a bunch back when they were $17 a piece. Hope they keep well since I'd hate to replace them at the current $25 per and with full retirement on the horizon. Happy New Year! Looking forward to more discussion on our sticks in 2026.Yes re: the Umbagog and Bronzeback wrappers.

It’s my favorite tobacco product hands down. Funny that it wasn’t until I began pipe smoking that I realized how it’s like the finest burley I’ve ever hadOh heavens! I had a cuban Bolivar many years ago and it was fabulous. Enjoy!!

Have you guys had the EPC with the Cameron wrapper? I think it's called Endure? I enjoyed those a lot too. The Encores are amazing, too, but I really thing the Torpedo vitola is head and shoulders above the rest of the vitolas.Great cigar.
