Jealous as hell. Never got a chance to try the Partagas du Connoisseurs.
I haven't as much experience with Cubans as some of the other guys here, but my two boxes of Lusitanias, 10 counts from two different vendors, both performed pretty flawlessly. They're cigars I would feel pretty confident "investing" in, at least until I start hearing otherwise... So I say go for it! I definitely agree it qualifies as one of the iconic, flagship cigars from Cuba.Excellent, I’ve all but given up on Cubans at the moment although I think I will invest in some of the Lusitania’s and similar flagship cigars from other brands to age long term whilst I enjoy my pipe/s. The oldest in my humidor is a RyJ Churchill from 2009.
Will save them for certain milestones down the line.
Glad to hear the weather and cigar were very well behaved
50 plus rumsI’ve only just gotten back into rum lately, but I think just like pipe tobacco I have fallen in love again
Cheers to her majesty ?
Jamie Garcia Super Gordo, may be a Gre Gre cigar, hydraulics on Zero Turn mower went out, Bad Luck Cigar?
Why stop now? Time for another box?
Why did you refer to the Partagas when the OP said it was a Don Carlos?
Right now in a desert of cigars I would find both a fatty as good as a thinner gauge cigar. When I quit I was favoring the Lonsdale.
My Don Carlos vitola was the Presidente, 6 X 50, and only $297.50 for a box of 25 at Cigars Direct.
This was rare event to me, afterdinner Bolivar Cuban Half Corona with some whiskey on the rocks
Caldwell Cigars Long Live The King ?
2006 Torano Noventa 90 Perfecto. I had several boxes of these years back, I thought they were all gone. Digging around in the humidor today and I found some more. I love these...!
Sadly the Cubans have jumped onto the bandwagon of large ring gauge sticks and the Partagas Connoisseur No 1 and Trinidad Fundadores are no longer produced.
Fundadores are still in production
Had one of these on the deck earlier tonight. Not bad at all...
He also mentioned the Partagas as another favorite. I'm not as jealous about the Don Carlos... I can have one of those any time I have the money to buy one. Not sure if they'll release lanceros or not again as I would like to try one of those... but I like all the other sizes I've tried anyway.
Now smoking H. Upmann No. 2. I think the box code was MEG MAY 17, but I'm too lazy to get up and look. ?
Ending the weekend with a Bolivar Cofradia Toro.
Good to know.
I stopped buying Habanos some years ago, and switched over to Dominican and Nicaraguan producers eg Padron, Fuente, Illusione, Oliva and Davidoff. Different flavour leaf, but so much better quality control.
Lazy afternoon cigar, some machine made thing I got for free from somebody who must have got them duty free somewhere, no idea what the brand is but guessing Dutch/Indonesian ?
Nice retrohale and aroma, taste is fine but has the usual acidic and bitter aftertaste you get with dry cigars, definitely needs a strong coffee or tea to cleanse the palate, but not bad for the price I paid.. ?
Happy Monday. One of my favorite cigars this morning, Last Call Geniale Natural, smoked them exclusively for several years, by AJ, great little smoke. Having one with coffee on the pool deck waiting for the rain.
Smoking an Arturo Fuente Exquisitos Maduro with a small glass of Bourbon on the back deck. 
So far not bad for a $2.65 cigar.

Been smoking a very tasty Argentine Cienfuegos Panatella....''Highly selected tobacco is used for its preparation: wrapped in a Sumatra tobacco leaf and made with tobacco from the Dominican Republic and Brazil, as well as Java tobacco, without the addition of chemicals or flavorings''.
I'm no cigar expert but I like them. ?
