I love that thought process!Bought one Fuen Opus X Magumn for my birthday on Saint Patricks day, hitting 82 never smoked one, might not get the chance or the money so it’s size the day!View attachment 366381
How was it?Le Careme LE by the pit because I can't pass up a chance for a outside, mid- January smoke and I'm too lazy to take the boxes to recycling

I have a few of 2019 left and I enjoyed them, they do have a creme to them. Pretty smooth. I don't think you need to spring for a LE version frankly. It's not a complex smoke but it's pleasant at least to my palate.How was it?
I've smoked a few Pastelitos, the '23 LE, and really didn't care for them much. At the same time, I thought I should like these (based on component parts) and have wondered if they just need more time...
I notice you have the '22 LE there...
3 unloved boxes of '23 tempt me from the walk-in every time I go to pipe club
Looks great, pretty nice here too todayRomeo Y Julieta with a frosty daiquiri. It’s a beautiful day here. First in a while.

It's been a few years since I had one, but I used to get the standard release Cosacos fairly regularly because they were a perfect second cigar/desert cigar. You hear cigars referred to as chocolate bombs, but in my experience, that usually comes across more like unsweetened cocoa. But those Cosacos tasted like a Molten Lava cake. Maybe the thinner RG was a factor, but an honest to good brownie of a cigar. And a fairly significant nicotine kick that always snuck up on me because the flavor profile suggested something more mediumHow was it?

These sadly go nowhere for me either outside of the tiny baby nestico vitola which I adore.Plasencia Reserva Original

Whew, not my cup of tea. Or I should say, not my cup of filler, because that’s all I could taste. It’s been a while since I’ve had a regrettable cigar, but this one was a disappointment. But enough about that.
In my experience, PerfecRepair is all it’s cracked up to be. Great stuff: I’ve used it for minor splits up to salvaging a Padron 1964 with a major tear. It’s a little pricey but very effective.
