Practiced some distancing from my son while smoking an Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Espressivo. Very full-flavored, but balanced. Not subtle. Had to see what the hype was about.
Trinidad la Trova from AGO 17 I think. Can't remember the factory code but I know it's Pinar Del Rio factory.
Factory Smokes Sungrown by Drew Estate. Perfectly acceptable cheap stick. It ain't pretty, but it let's off smoke like nobody's business.
Cuban Punch Punch (that was delightful) and a 2018 Tat TAA playing golf.
Forgot to attach the image from earlier. These La Trova are quite good but they cost like twice as much as a box of Trinidad Reyes, which I personally find to be a punchier, superior cigar. Oh, and the boxes of La Trova are 12 ct and the Reyes are 24 ct. So you're looking at 4 times the per stick price. Habanos would probably point to a price per gram of tobacco measurement to justify this (who am I kidding, they wouldnt even bother), but cigars aren't dope and you're surely not getting 4 times the smoking duration. Anyway, they're good cigars but a bad value proposition. My 2 cents, anyway.
Watching the Senna documentary on Netflix as I fire up this little box-pressed number:
I enjoyed a JR Cigar Alternative to Dunhill Valverdes. A nice, smooth Corona. I always buy far enough ahead of time to allow 4-6 months in my humidor before smoking these sticks. It works. Cigars are pretty much a golf course event these days. I only wish I had played well enough to deserve a nice smoke!

Andalusian Bull with ice water. An interesting cigar in desperate need of some reasonable vitolas. That's the conclusion I've come to after finishing nearly a box. 
About to light one of these German made Kentucky cigars.
Illusione 68 Bombone. With its particular pungent fuminess and tight roll, I would've guessed it was blended/rolled at Tabacalera My Father, but it's from TABSA. Slightly wonky burn. I'd smoke more but not seek it out. Prefer HVC from the same factory.
H Upman 1844 Belicoso Vintage Cameroon, most even burningcigar I’ve smoked, mild, windy on porch, nice smoke.
San Crisrobal El Principle with a sip of Four Roses single barrel. 
Bored as hell and figured I'd kill some time with an Allones Gigante
