They are my favorite of the Montes for sure...such a nice size.

Ditto sir!

All you boys talking about the Padron 1926 Natural or Maduro?

Were those a gift or gif to yourself? If they were from somebody else they are on point!

Yes a lot of fatties at the top of the list. I am personally not a fan of the 50+ ring gauges but many are it seems.

I think there is also the issue of aging some of the NCs. With the HSA portfolio one has a good idea how they age. Hard to quantify that with a NC brand that has been around less than 5 years. Bought a box of Liga Privada No. 9s some years ago and while they were delicious fresh, the flavor profile fell apart after a few years. Half of the box was wasted.

I wonder if we will see these come around again. Seems like everything is scarce on the supply side.

Here come the BBF fans! Myself included of course!

That sounds like my motto for dating. I'm happy if she shows up. 😆

What should we expect to see coming down the near term pipeline?

I'd be pretty excited to see some Double Coronas come back as well.

Yup I am very happy I bought what I did and when!

A number of the price increases are a big meh for me as I did not connect with the brand...Cohiba is one. There were some others though that I liked that went up also....:- (Monte Double Edmundo, RASS, JL 1&2, and BBF were amongst my favs.) What were some of the ones you don't miss and do miss?

Yes I am an Illusione fan as well. They have a number of good blends.

Speaking of Sancho Panza....any Belicosos on the horizon Prez?
