I've been off of TD for a few months, no real reason for it.
I have, more-or-less, settled into a "rotation" of the following:
Villazon Maduro toro
Ave Maria Immaculata belicoso
New World Cameroon toro
New World Connecticut-corona or toro
Cain Daytona belicoso or corona.

Others I have a few left of, Cusano Nicaragua Churchill. These are running out and have been closed out by the manufacturer (Oettinger Davidoff)

I'm a big fan of the New Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary, got a tenner of the Habano (red band) and have given away or smoked five, already. These are worthwhile.

Welcome back, RedPop, I feared the covid got you

I also really enjoy that one. I’ve been on a Perdomo kick for a while now, but tonight it’s a La Aroma Mi Amor Reserva.

You bought it in BR?

Also a huge fan of the Perdomo 10th Anniversary line ... and they are perpetually on sale at Fox Cigar.

These have been my go-to lately ... outstanding.

Thank you , that means a lot. I've been trying NOT to post so much at work, and then not liking posting on a mobile device.

Villazon, last night.
Since our herf, in April, I have really been enjoying what's left of a box of the Alec Bradley Nica Puro Rosado robustos. Between that and the Coyol, they've got great things going.

What's the price at Fox Cigar, I know, I know, I could go look!
Cigar King has them on the specials page, the toros are $+/- 60.00 for a tenner. Almost bit again!

I haven't had a normal Ashton in years, but the Ashton VSG is amazing and would totally recommend. The Sorcerer and Wizard are long smokes. (about 2 hours) You may want to try a different shape if you don't have that long.

Ashton has always been a quality smoke, when I have had them. As stated, if you are not prone to long smokes, get one that suits your comfort zone. I tend to get these for "special occasion" smokes and not in my typical rotation.

Villazon Maduro


I’ve smoked more maduro cigars from the Villazon factory that any other cigars. Always my favorite.

I know, right? This is, I think, a CI brand, only. They're bundles and really a great deal, usually at under $50.00. Sometimes they go on sale down to $35.00 if you follow CI's specials.

They are worth every penny. The natural is fine, but the maduro is just SO doggone good. I burn my moustache and my lips every time I smoke one.

Gurkha evil toro on deck tonight. Brazil wrapper, Nicaragua long filler, domenican binder. My first ever Gurka and the only reason I picked this one at the Brick and Mortar was via eeny meeny miney moe with another gurkha. It's a good workhorse cigar, at $7 it's priced right. It burns right, the flavor is right. It doesn't wow me but I can't find anything wrong with it. I'm not sure I'd run out and buy a box but it's solid. I'd put it slightly above a fuente curleyhead or 858. It's a good stick and would smoke another though it's not a premium smoke.

Was my first time with on a recommendation from my local shop on a “good every day budget stick” and couldn’t agree more really was solid for $5
was a mild smoke but had a unique almost rich profile
Will definitely be picking up more
