El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga Oscuro
@VDL_Piper was interested in this one. I paid $5.50 in November 2023, and have had it in the humidor since then. The aroma and flavor started off very rich. You know how a mainline Padron maintains the same flavor throughout? This was the exact opposite. The flavors varied widely for the entire duration of the smoke: often woody with hints of cedar, sometimes toasted nuts, sometimes flavors were stronger and other times more subtle, and usually there were hints of cocoa. In the last third, some pepper appeared too. It was not a boring cigar at all: I was constantly looking forward to seeing what was going to happen next. I touched it up a fair number of times when the filler became predominant. For the price, it was an enjoyable and satisfying cigar, though I'll have to smoke a few more to decide whether I'd want to keep it on hand.
Meanwhile, this red squirrel kept scolding me for challenging his territory. I told him that he could have the deck if he starts paying the mortgage.

Island Jim San Andres, no photo.
I observed from the few notes I took on the contents of the Monster Smash set that I liked the San Andres wrappers best.

Casdagli Basilica C #3
4th one from a fiver. This one smoked very well. I can't help but wonder if the 90° weather was a positive influence...

It’s 55⁰ F outside, and surprisingly pleasant considering it’s 10:31 pm. Having a Cigars International Original Cubans Belicoso, 6.0" x 54 on the porch.
Wasabi is happy to not be cooped up inside.

Tatuaje Avion Tuxtla from some CRA sampler or another. This is surprisingly good - complex flavor profile and strength is very well done (strong without being abrasive).
El Borracho Broadleaf Robusto from Dapper
A year has improved these significantly
Storms have passed and the sky is red, sunset filtering through wildfire smoke. I suppose I am not making things any better...

Oliva 2nd Double Robusto this evening. Eighteen days in the humidor at this point and settling in to a really tasty cigar.
Earlier I smoked an Avo Synchro Caribe
