Wanted to amend my original post- I had described this one as consistent but to be honest I’m finding a lot more complexity in it as it burns down. Very enjoyable.

In the end, all that really matters- would I buy this again? Sounds like you found a winner
Padron Delicias Natural
Heard these (and all the skinnies) were discontinued...
Now that the weather allows for consistent comfortable porch smoking, I'm clearing out my inventory of cigars.
Finished the Olivas yesterday leaving me with only four Toscanos and another two or three of Hobson's Bad Boys.
In the time since I bought my bag of Bad Boys a few months ago, Davidus has expanded the line. Bad Boys now come in like, three or four different flavors. These, of course, are the original, which I realized the other day have a similar taste/stick note to my jar of 1Q.

AJ Fernandez New World tonight. 
Had a cigar earlier today while out running around with company, picking up a few things for tonight.

Don Carlos earlier today and it's not even Fuente Friday yet
Nicarita for the after dinner dog walk

I’ve never tried a Don Carlos, but have had an Eye of the Shark resting for a year. If the fabled shutdown happens, I might smoke it tomorrow because life as a gov’t contractor will get interesting.
This is anothet one from a long time ago. Asylum Dragon's Milk.
Had an Ashton ESG aging in the humi since 2010. Today was the day on a nice 3 mile walk around the rural neighborhood.
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur this evening, don't remember which one. Nice cigar but a bit on the mild side compared to what I have been liking lately.
Had a LFD Cameroon Chisel on the way home yesterday and it blew me away. It definitely reminded me of a sort of Fuente Don Carlos lancero at times. It looks to be out of stock at my usual haunts, but I'm about to make room in the cooler and a box of these or the no 1 is definitely inbound soon.
How was it? I've never had an aged ESG and have definitely found some inconsistency with some of them being too mild while others are like an Opus light, which I think was the original intent of the blend.

An excellent smoke. Perfect burn, great flavor, med bodied and loooooooooong finish. It was a gift from a fine brother from another forum years ago when we were all slanging around cigars at each other in high end friendly fire. Fun times...smoked it with fond memories.
Keeping it rolling with a Petite Corona
Ambasciator Italico Tradizionale and a Pilsner Urquell to start the weekend!
And any comments on the Flor de Nicaragua Perfecto?
I don't know anything about that one, sorry
But I hope you had a good day/smoke outside! We hit 70°F here
Also, gotta say- both of those Fuentes I smoked earlier did real well. Plain "Gran Reserva" line but they are consistently good and under $8 for both, combined
