Really enjoying these La Mission du L'Atelier sticks - if anyone have something similar to recommend I'm all ears!
It’s just about finished now.
Perfect structure, smoked straight the whole way without a hint of a run (and there’s a steady breeze out here).
Draw was open and easy. As effortless of a smoke as they come I think.
Flavor wise, the wrapper was mild. The Cameroon flavor was light and balanced throughout. I was hoping it would build a bit and get stronger or more focused near the end but I can’t complain too much. Not my favorite blend of filler here - there’s other Partagas cigars I like more.
Overall very enjoyable, easy smoker.
H Upman Banker, good draw, burn was so even, mild, like em mild, liked it, Sun Grown half Churchill was better.
Posted this already in the main "what are you smoking", but since it's a cigar...
Out in the yard playing ball with my pups, so it's cigar time. Arturo Fuente Rosado Gran Reserva. Not sure of the vitola, a friend gave it to me a couple years ago and it's been resting in the humidor. 1st third was all baking spice, vanilla, and wood, with something in there that reminded me of a plummy perique on the retrohale. 2nd third that was still there, but it took a backseat to cedar and natural tobacco, and white chocolate with an interesting sweetness. Final third still had some of the baking spice, but white chocolate, sweet cedar & coffee were the main flavors. The burn got wonky a few times, but it always corrected itself, the ash was SOLID and held on, it only dropped off twice during the whole smoke; which lasted for about and hour and a quarter until it was down to a soft, hot inch long nub. I've always like Fuentes but this thing was magnificent. Sadly it's the only one I have. Oh well.
Anyone know what this specifically is? I'd like to get more, if they're still being made. It was about a 54 ring gauge, robusto length, with a tapered end.

The 1959 is one of my all time top 10.Really enjoying these La Mission du L'Atelier sticks - if anyone have something similar to recommend I'm all ears!
Looks like the Rosado Sun Grown Magnum R 52. Or possibly the Magnum R 58 Torpedo (that's the only vitola in the line with a pyramid head, I think). Either way, they are excellent. Supposedly you can only buy them from B&Ms, but outfits like Atlantic will sell them to you if you call up and place your order.

I have one in each size and have smoked the 1959 and 1989... Or was it 1999? Either way, they're all pretty tasty to my palette.
Smoked a H Upman 1844 Vintage Cameroon, I got to admit I looked at that Cameroon wrapper, saw the lengthways split and said to myself, Damn that’s bad, didn’t know it was a wrapper. Dumb Cajun! One of the best smokes in a while.
Our Local javan /Sumatra petit coronas, quite horrible tasting but these do produce a lot of (cigarette like)smoke
Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniv. Champagne Series Figurado. Way too mild for me, and also a little scorched-tasting. Tossed after only a few minutes. It's taken me an absurdly long time to realize that I just don't really like CT wrappers, unless they're hybrids like on the Caldwell Eastern Standard.
Also, I know this is a silly aesthetic thing, but I thought the plastic or heavily laminated band was kind of lame.

'Quite horrible tasting' is a winning endorsement!
