BLT has great cigars if you like that darker profile IMO. I find most of them a tad sweet
Having a Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua Toro, 6.0" x 50 on the porch. It’s 85⁰ F out. Our friend, John, is visiting to watch the UFC PPV this weekend. Wasabi is hiding behind Susan because she sprayed him with water to try to keep him cool—he wasn’t happy about getting wet.
Earlier I smoked an Oliva Serie V Melanio
Finished up the last of the ADV's I had on hand, this one is the Barbarroja's Invasion. A nice maduro with an interesting floral note. A nice evening of listening to the storms off in the distance as my son discussed his Halloween costume plans for the entire hour long smoke, lol.
Having an Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur I, English Claro Presidente, 7.2" x 54 with our buddy, John on the porch. We’re watching a UFC PPV (317) that he missed.
Tabernacle Havana Seed CT robusto today. Nick Melillo is just doing a fantastic job!
Having a Brick House Connecticut Toro , 6.0" x 52 on the porch. It’s 86⁰ F out and very humid.
Earlier in the day I smoked a Bellas Artes
Don Pepin Garcia 
Tastes and smells great, but has a tight draw and awful burn. I literally ran my lighter out of fluid trying to touch it up and keep it going. Might try it again in the future and hope I get better construction.

Having an Aging Room Quattro Nicaraguan Vibrato Toro (Box Pressed), 6.0" x 54 on the porch.
Dug deep in the humi today and dug out an ode to recent history, stemming back to the beginning of the Oliva O line of cigars (maybe 2001ish). I believe they called them the Ovation at this time. These featured the red cloth embroidered band with the word "Bold" on the label. I also have some of the blue cloth bands in there somewhere as well. But for today, it was this one...
This trip was a buy 5 Aladino and get a Project Lomas free. The 60 ring Camp Aladino are only avaliable if you've visited the farm.
CLE are perfect short smokes in Connecticut, maduro, corojo and habano. I haven't had them before.

Between storms, air quality alert days, and general busyness, I haven’t had a cigar in several weeks, so I’m observing Fuente Friday early with a Hemingway Best Seller. It’s Friday somewhere.
Nice haul
Looking especially forward to your thoughts on the C.L.E. I was just looking at those
You get the 4 X 40 ones?
Can’t beat those for the price! I love these in maduro, they come with a minimum of 2 1/2 years age on em
