Earlier had a Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 (Machito), one of my favorites and always great construction, draw and flavor, but so rich and intense that I need to save them for particular days. The kind of stick I like to have a few of on hand, not necessarily a box of. So later I wanted something a bit sweeter and mellower, and enjoyed a delightful, reliable (though very delicately wrapped) ERDM Demi-Tasse. I love those.

Olivia Master Blend 3 Robusto on windy porch awaiting LSU Game, love these box pressed cigars.
Ordered some Asylum Schizo Madero(5), and (5) natural , friend said for the money it was a good cigar, we”ll see.
My absolute favorite of all time, a Diamond Crown. I sure do wish I could find a more price-friendly cigar with a similar flavor profile. Any recommendations are welcome!
I'm looking for something for New Years eve and tried a small Ramon Allones last night after buying three from seeing good reviews
Was a bit disappointed with the draw (even after trying to open it up a bit) and working through that in the first third spoiled the overall smoke for me, really liked the flavour and it went well with a coffee but the effort needed for the draw gives it a thumbs down, so it looks like it’ll have be a Partagas or a Romeo for Hogmanay but I'd still recommend trying the above

Bolivar Half Corona with a shot glass of Greece Metaxa Brandy
I'm in the same boat, unfortunately, TinCup -- bought a box of RA SCCs after reading all the hype and have found the first few so plugged that it's like trying to draw blood from a stone. About half-spongy, half-solid. I think the flavor is there but I'll be damned if it's worth the effort. I get a bit frustrated by the inconsistency of CCs from batch to batch.
Yeah if I'm paying around $15 for what is essentially a fairly basic cigar I shouldn't have any fight on my hands to enjoy it
Settled for the partagas for new year, it was gorgeous, just 40 minutes to go till 2020.....
Arturo Fuente Rothchild Maduro, really like this, Son gave me a gift certificate at a cigar shop, bought a box. Smooth Smoke.
La Gloria Cubana 'Gloria Petit' -- not a particularly festive or celebration-worthy cigar, for they are ugly little buggers with shameful-looking wrappers, and their taste is decidedly uncomplicated, but when it comes to reliable flavor, burn and draw, I rate these Gen. Tobacco cheapos as high as (or higher than) many other comparably puny NCCs (and machine-made CCs). Certainly, in my opinion, a way better, more consistent cigarillo/small panetela than the pitiable Joya Black Boat, the Camacho Machito, the Liga Coronet, or the Punch Slim Panatella.
I really like the LGC Glorias (petit coronas) too. Wish I'd had the chance to try some back when EPC was at the helm.
Happy New Year, all!

Warped La Hacienda corona on this, the end of the year 2019. Happy New Year, folks.
I am not allowed to smoke a cigar in the house. I am hoping this is mild enough, so the family does not mind.

How is that La Hacienda? I've been curious about it. Did you smoke the Gran Robusto or one of the Superiores? Medium-bodied?
