Oh, and I can’t forget the RASS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/Q Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s interesting to me how my own preferences seem to change in phases of sorts. I’m sort of gravitating away from the dark full bodied stuff and smoking a lot of medium bodied cigars lately. I’ve been on an El Gueguense and Fuente Rosado kick for a month or so. Illusione oroginal documents will...

There’s some good stuff listed there, especially the AJ stuff that you mentioned. That guy just has talent. You may give the Illusione Maduro and Southern Draw Jacob’s Ladder a try if you haven’t already. Fantastic dark smokes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember reading somewhere that Fuentes are an “old school” blend that needs humi time to really shine. I have to wonder if they suffer from the same short supply/high demand “curse” as the CC sticks. Anyhow, my hypothesis was proven correct. I found a Magnum R 44 while poking around in a...

Welcome from Oklahoma man! So what are the “few core brands” that you’re sticking close to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate your generosity kind sir, but I went ahead and ordered a 5er. I have faith that they’ll be stellar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funny you should mention the Hemingway Rosados. I had just happened to pick a couple of them up at a local B&M that same day. I typically find Fuente to be a bit overhyped/overpriced (with the exception of the Gran Reserva Sun Growns). After smoking the 858 Rosado and the Magnum 52, I have to...

The “revisiting old favorites” thread got me to thinking... What sticks do you guys smoke to celebrate special occasions? As for me, I generally stock my humi with all my favorite stuff, so I rarely go and blow a lot of coin on a celebratory smoke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every so often I’ll fire up an Ashton VSG for old times sake, but usually I’m left wanting more. Not that it’s a bad cigar by any stretch, but it’s been bumped out of my personal top 10 list for a long while now. The Illusione original documents series and the trusty RASS will have a permanent...

I finally got around to smoking the E.P. Carrillo Encore today just to see if it was worthy of a CA #1 ranking. Though I was prepared to scoff, it was a very good smoke. Personally, I prefer the Rose of Sharon, but I can see why the Encore scored well. I’d definitely smoke it again. Sent from...

AladiNUB. This one’s a “natural” but the maduro is mo betta. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are they prized by large numbers of smokers or are there only a few produced? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Illusione, Southern Draw, Aladino, My Father, Oliva, and Padron come to mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chogui huh? I’ll have to give those a look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t go so far as to call them trash, but they are pretty over hyped and over priced. There are lots of sticks out there that cost less and are better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So there I was in a local store the other day shopping for a suitable Independence Day smoke and I came across the Opus X Angels Share. I’ve been trying to find one for a while so I snagged it up. VERY good cigar, but not IMO very overpriced. To me it’s very reminiscent of a Southern Draw Rose...
