A Ramon Allones Hunters & Frankau Aniversario 225. No sense in holding on to this any longer as it won't benefit from anymore time in the humidor. Why today? I'm alive and upright.
Here's a link to some info on this cigar.

Here is a follow up post of the RA. I'm a blue collar guy and I obtained two of these as a result of the reddit tobacco heyday now long gone. Both of these were wonderful smokes with great draw, construction and flavors. Bread sweetness and exceptionally mild for a RA particularly. Were they worth the price of admission? No. I've had many a cigar from other regions and Cuba that were much better. I had the opportunity to get them and splurged. Smoked the 1st one when I burned the mortgage and the 2nd today.
In my little attempt at "doing it for the 'gram, hipster bullshit," I accidentally splashed some of my coffee out of the cup (a tiny bit even got onto the cigar). Serious fail. Anyway, it's a Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro from 2015 with espresso from Flores, Indonesia.
Pretty good? I’ve come a gnat’s ass away from ordering some of those on multiple occasions.One of these on the deck...
This was the sumatra. So so in my book (a sweetened cap?Why?) I'll smoke these but would not reorder. It is my understanding some of the others are good...
Hailing from Nicaragua with a premium blend of Nicaraguan fillers and binder all dressed up in a Sumatra wrapper leading to a sweet, smooth, and creamy experience. A sweetened cap leading to earthy notes and a solid, robust finish. Med.
Smoked this Cuban today while playing golf along with an Oliva Series V. Marvelous!
A asylum straight jacket. It’s been pretty tasty.
after work stick is cromagnon, when I start mowing I'll have the old trusty flor de oliva
How was it? I bought a 10er back in 2015 or 2016, the first Cubans I'd bought in years, and they were mind blowing. Some of the sweetest, creamiest cigars I've ever had. Unbelievable richness. Like my first hit of Oxy, I have been chasing those cigars ever since.
At this point, I have started to wonder if they were as great as I remember, as I have been slightly disappointed with boxes of Epicures 1 and 2 (still good cigars, though).. Are the blends different enough to account for how much better I thought the Especiales were, or did I just hit the jackpot in terms of the right box made by the right factory with the right leaf at the right time?

Love em. I haven't had a bad HdM Epicure, especially the Especial. It's a bit of a time commitment, but the creamy apricot and exotic wood draws me back again and again.
So you paid off the mortgage? Yeah!!
Just burned the last stick from an ETP ENE 16 box of BPC.
