I’m a little late, but happy anniversary!We celebrated our 18 + anniversary yesterday. After the home cooked filet and crab I enjoyed an aged Partagas Serie D no. 4.

I ordered a 10 pack of the Classic (natural, not maduro) Wavells, and the draw was tight on those. Like damn near obstructed. I just left them in the humidor at 70% for a couple months, and they are ok now. Still a little tight, but certainly enjoyable now. I’m sure a lower RH would loosen them up a little more. Next time I have one I’ll leave it out for a few hours beforehand and see if that gets it done. ?My first La Gloria Cubana Classic Maduro Wavell. I love this cigar. Rich, sweet, no pepper, medium strength and body. Draw on this one is a bit tight, what does one do to help this without ruining a cigar? It has happened on a few cigars before. Anyone know if this is a sweetened cap? It tastes a little like it could be, but it’s not over the top.
Smoking up (also the Liga 9). Any report for those who can only wish they were there?
I like the Capa Especial a little bit better but they are both really good. The broadleaf has more pepper and coffee flavor, espresso. Substitute more of a sweet tea from the Capa I just nubbed.What did you think?
Now smoking a Diamond Crown Julius Ceaser Shark with coffee from Java, Indonesia. I guess that makes it true Java?

Oh man, that thing is just fantastic. So smooth, like smoking smores. It has aged to perfection. It's a big cigar and I started it around 7:45 and it took me till 10:15 when I finally put it down. I kept thinking, it's getting late and I'm tired but with every draw there was no way I wasn't finishing that cigar. I find them very balanced and creamy, refined. I think I've got a few left and I also have a few T52 double corona left. That will be next on the all evening cigar night.Smoking up (also the Liga 9).
