Eiroa Dark. Happy Birthday me. Guys at the shop paid the cigar tab. 😁 Cigar band hall of shame post inc View attachment 1305954
Was a decent stick. Construction was great. Smoke time was amazing for a little stick. It lasted a good two hours with me putting it down between puffs. It never had an off flavor just kind of lack depth of flavor. It was a full bodied stick but I never got notes of anything. Mouth feel was full but just straight forward. I think. I'm still working on better verbage to describe cigars to people with different palates. Cause it's a darn fine stick. Just not my type of pitch to swing at.
 
Like it - Oliva one of my go to smokes as fits the flavor profile...usually the SV Melanio Robusto
Olivia is probably one of my top cigars. Not only do I like the flavor profiles, but the construction is always good too. I’m not sure that I’ve ever had one with a burn problem.
 
Can’t go wrong w/these if you like a medium smoke

I swear it's an Opus X. Just not sure what kind 🤣
Christmas gift from a friend. Paired with some Smooth Ambler Contradiction and a Local Brewer Sideswipe Hop Tat.View attachment 1307035
Would like to try one
 
Had this monte cristo a few minutes ago out when the kiddos played. Not sure if it was just me but it was rather underwhelming in the flavor department. Maybe the hype I hear about the monte cristo? Maybe the specific cigar or line. I have one more dark dark cigar from them. Hopefully it will be a bit better.

This afternoon I enjoyed a Alec Bradley Medalist. It had a nice draw, burned uniformly, and had a nice 'standard' cigar flavor. I would put it in second place though to the Perdomo Champagne 10th Anniversary cigar I had a while back.

I did not take a picture while I was smoking it but here it is along with some other Alec Bradley cigars I picked up during a vendor event at Butthead's Tobacco Emporium.

Buy 4 and get 1 free plus I am entered into a raffle for more goodies. Not a bad haul for $30 and change. :em2300:

And for those wondering, I nubbed the Lady Killer. It was a solid stick. Not earth shattering but a very solid stick. The Perdomo was ok. The AJF was easy going and very solid stick.
