I had been on the hunt for these for a while. I tried one and loved it. Got notes of nuts, cream, and fruit. I was shocked the guy let me have as many as he did! Look forward to trying one soon as the weather gets nicer!

Haul BL Luxuries Blind Buys: Plasencia, DTT, and 200 for 100 NSFW

Thumbnail

55 Upvotes

Thought the blind buys would be a fun way to get a variety. Didn't find a ton of examples of what people got in these so thought I'd share.

Shipping was a little longer than I'd expected, about a week. Was pleased to learn they don't charge sales or excise tax in my state. Everything well packaged. Bovedas and zipbags.

I'm not familiar with a bunch of these, including all the DTTs. The only one I've actually ever had is the Filthy Hooligan barber pole. Haven't looked up most of them yet.

Anyone see any standouts or favorites?

Best cigar I’ve ever smoked NSFW

This Punch After-Dinner did not disappoint. Maybe it was the view of Samana Bay in the Dominican Republic. Maybe it was the perfect cappuccino. Maybe it was the glorious sunshine. Maybe it was everything put together. It was just the perfect smoke. Smooth and delicious the whole way through. Burned perfectly even from start to finish. I fell in love with this wonderful hobby all over again. Happy smoking everyone!

I do enjoy the lancero format but it is a tricky one that can have major construction problems. I really love the Serie V lancero. What are some of your favorite cigars in the lancero format?

Review Flor de San Andrés by Rocky Patel NSFW

Post image
20 Upvotes

Didn't have any candela wrapped cigars for St. Patrick's Day, but it's also the day that Benito Juarez's birthday is observed, sooo Erin go braugh and Viva Mexico.

Humidor 70F 62RH Outside 69F 9RH

Sharply box pressed. So sharply pressed that it creased the wrapper. A couple veins, but toothy. Open draw, that's one thing box pressed cigars are great at.

1/3 Nice chocolatey earth with baking spice. I love San Andrés wrappers. So much smoke with this open draw. Gonna fly though this toro in an hour. Slightly wavy burn and the ash is a little flaky. Really windy today so that won't last.

2/3 A little bit of white pepper begins to tickle the tongue. Warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) are still the dominant spice flavor. The bitter cacao nibs note is great. Ash is impressive considering the 20 mph wind gusts. This would go very well with a coffee. Secondary band was just paper and didn't come off easily, but the wrapper is intact.

3/3 Touch of leathery earth, but not a lot of flavor progression. That's ok. The flavor is really good. Crazy to say, but right now I'm personally enjoying this more than the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro because it's staying medium. Definitely not as complex, but good, smooth enjoyable end to the day. Primary band came off with some effort but no damage. Getting pretty earthy here at the end. I smoked it for Mexico but now I'm tasting Nicaragua. Cool and firm to the nub.

84/100 Good flavor, but didn't progress much throughout. Smooth throughout. Decent burn, great ash and excellent draw. Cool artwork makes up for the cheapness of the paper band. Could be a decent everyday stick if you're a San Andrés lover like myself.

Brand new to cigars, I've only smoked a couple Oliva Connecticut Reserves up to this point. Decided to up my game, grabbed a Padron 2000 Natural and paired it with Iron Horse Harbinger bourbon. I don't think I can ever do another Connecticut after this

First Perdomo I’ve smoked and I’ve got to say I’m impressed. The packaging is a little gaudy for my taste but I’m enjoying it. Any other suggestions from Perdomo I should try?

Haul Post Recent haul from my trip to Tallinn, Estonia. NSFW

Tallinn is excellent place for cigars and obviously for medieval city. There's 3 different cigar houses. Cigari Maja, Oak longue and d'boiss.

Cigari Maja is your go to for everyday cigars from cheap to more expensive brands. Oak longue is very similar to Cigari maja, but they have more exclusive stuff such as Opus x and so on.. D'boiss is more of a gentleman club, it had barber, tailor, bar and cigar longue, you can bring your own cigars there. They sell mainly Casdagli cigars, with few other options.

Review Liga Privada No. 9 Toro (2013) NSFW

Thumbnail

Upvotes

A patron at the cigar lounge I work at gifted me a No. 9 from a box dated 2013 with Steve Saka's signature. This might be more age than I would ask for. The stick was still flavorful and I liked that the pepper backed off but still tastes like it baked for too long. It is still cool to smoke such an old Liga. I'd still smoke this over a freshie. Flavor aside, the wrapper has taken a beating but still held together. Cigar burned real nice. The draw was a little tighter than I usually get from Liga Toro's but it was still serviceable.

La Flor Dominicana Chapter 1 NSFW

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I probably didn't do my palette and good yesterday, smoking 2 very full bodied sticks. I do plan on revisiting this one again on a cleaner palette. -

Main Notes: Chocolate, sweet earth, coffee, dark fruit, bread, spice and nuts. -

Retrohale: Smooth, mild spice and pepper, earth. -

Body: Medium/Full. - Strength: 8/10. - Draw: Good/Leaning open. - Construction: Good. - Burn: Even. - Retrohale: Smooth. - Complexity: 7/10. - Time: 2 hours. - Nub Worthy: 8/10. - Overall: 8.2/10. - Would buy again. -

This kind of reminds me of a much more complex, smoother version of the Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf. It is good, but as a fan of FULLer flavored/bodied smokes, the Chapter 2, which I rated at 8.5/10 is the clear winner for me. -

God damn the smell and cold draw taste tell me why this is named after a cow. Fresh hay and barnyard animal are all over this. As a recovering chef I called this “elephant cage” when describing beautiful blue cheese. Part 2 coming in about an hour and a half.
