L is Habano over Corojo, R is straight Corojo. Not sure what middle is

Connecticut...morning smoke. Each one has it's place. I'll probably smoke the first 3 all in one day. A sort of immersion. Middle after breakfast, with coffee. The Corojo will be a nice mid-day smoke and i'll save the Vintage for after dinner...maybe with a drink, if i have it around the air bnb. It's been a long time since i've had any Honduran puros. Intrigued.

Apparently they are growing their own Cameroon seed in Honduras too

Makes me wonder who else is... I know Meerapfel family was pivotal in keeping the strain going in the country of Cameroon. I also know Fuente recently broke distribution ties with Meerapfel. People are wondering what that means for Cameroon wrapped Fuentes, as they apparently used Meerapfel Cameroon exclusively...

Wasn't aware. My beloved Short Stories! I could always ask Arturo, Jr next time i'm in Tampa Sweethearts. I'm planning to go back to my FL home for a while not long after wrapping up my business here in Houston.

I've been hit and miss with Cammie wrappers. There have been some that were excellent and a few that didn't really float my boat. If these Aladinos go well for me, i might try their offering, if i can find a couple singles at a local somewhere.
 
2023 Extra Anejo Amazon Basin. Very unique cigar for sure, leaves the palate very clean with such a huge smoke output but rich in sweetness and baking spice and like a rosemary.
Perfect with a dram of Bunnahabhain 12.

That sounds like a terrific combo right there. Bunna 12 is one of the best values in the single malt isle. Quality and performance above it's price tag. Enjoy!
