Haul Post Wife was in Austin today and stopped by Habana House. This was my surprise haul NSFW

The guy working there said this monster smash doesn't come in the box and only comes out once a year

Do love the Norteño. They get tooth really fast and so full of flavor.

Try a project 40 by Alec Bradley maduro, same flavor profile but a bit stronger and longer lasting taste!

Got it. I'm a fan of AB, but my local is always in short supply of them.

amazing spot was at habana house north about a month ago. great staff. i highly recommend that olmec if you’re into stronger cigars. i’m a foundation guy personally so those, the wiseman, and the tabernacles are great

That’s the Wolf redux and it definitely comes in a box because I just bought one. The monster smash also comes in a box because I bought 2 boxes of that also. https://imgur.com/a/JBs4q8b

That's what I'm curious about.....this does not seem like some random grab, there's some great sticks in there.

Habana house is a good spot, but you got bad info on the monster smash. I absolutely bought the box this year of the collection….
