Awesome. I think this line and a few others made by My Father/The Garcias in both Nicaragua and Miami are not as spicy or strong as they used to be lately, but it's still a pretty fair representation of Nicaraguan cigars, so now you should feel emboldened to jump right in!
'17 Picadores. Had to check in on this box as I'd almost forgotten about it. Bonus: after clipping the cap, there was a pea-sized divot underneath - almost always portends a cigar with great construction.
Good cigar and coming along nicely, but not much like a Por Larrañaga, IMO. Without the band, I would have guessed this was an Upmann with its notes of bread and espresso. There are hints of dried fruit I associate with a Montecarlos. Don't know what to think of this one, but probably wouldn't buy another box when this one is gone.
A day off - a reminder that life is good.
Romeo y Julieta Nr. 3. It was plugged and didn't taste that good, could have been a fake. I liked the beer though.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 from early 2018.
How old was it? Cuban RyJ are a classic example of a blend that needs at least 5 years to stop tasting like peppery dirt
Celebrating new bike day with a Partagas Lusitania.
Good to know. I smoked it the same day I got it and I'm still lost in cigar world.
I've learnt so far that Habana taste is not something I'm looking for. Need something darker, stronger. I realized there are a lot of cheaper cigars from other Latino countries that sound like a good choice.
Charatan Churchill before the grandkids come over.
I recommend searching for Nicaraguan cigars, particularly those with Maduro wrappers, such as those with Mexican San Andres or Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers. Not every Nicaraguan cigar with a San Andres wrapper is dark and strong, but many are! My favorite is probably La Mission du L'Atelier and I also really like El Borracho from Dapper Cigars.
Arturo Fuente Añejo & Opus
Padron anything
Illusione Ultra
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero if you want to go straight for the throat
When I travel with family - Generally I don’t carry pipes or cigars. One more thing to worry about, and often I don’t have time. This time I am carrying both pipes and cigars. It is too cold outside, and it was very windy and the cigar burnt very fast! Yet it was a glorious smoke of a Padron 1826 Serie Natural in downtown Washington DC
A Pepin 601 rgar I put away at least a decade or so. Sublime.
i have moved on to a rocky patel sungrown select that i put away at about the same time. god help me, it was even better than the 601.
My first Kentucky Fire Cured by Drew Estate. (Cigarillo size) Really enjoyable. It like a bit of pipe tobacco smokiness. Mild to medium for a cigar, just a different profile than most cigars. Not as sweet or infused tasting as some of the Acids. Glad I grabbed a tin of these.
