‘12 HURR...packed perfectly, great draw, great flavor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Aroma/Color: Good looking light colorado wrapper with some sheen. Pre-light is predominantly barnyard, cedar, and milk chocolate. This cigar has a great draw and decent firmness ( a bit underpacked) 1/3: The cigar started out pretty well. Initial third had a distinct creamy note with a bit of cocoa and cedar. Body is definitely medium. The cigar is burning just okay (not razor sharp by any means). 2/3:The intensity of the cocoa and cream have picked up and some leather notes and bitter chocolate are being thrown in the mix. There's a slight marzipan/praline note as well. Picking up some EL richness and complexity surprisingly. The burn has corrected itself and it's smoking razor sharp now. 3/3: The cigar smoked well through the last third with notes of leather and coffee being more pronounced now. I've also noticed a dried dark fruit note. I'm very pleased with how a cigar this young has performed. Overall impression: Very enjoyable smoke that I love to always have on-hand. I believe this is one of the better-performing sticks coming out of Cuba at the moment–and it’s probably one of the most consistent robustos on the market. If I had to pick between young "budget" robustos, I'd opt for these, the Partagas Serie D No.4, or the Juan Lopez No.2. Verdict: 92/100 points

HK is a great place for cigar lovers...albeit you really ought to bring your own stock. I was absolutely blown away by the prices! The Red Chamber (pictured) is an awesome lounge.

My only two nice watches are a ceramic Rolex GMT Master II and Glashutte Senator Date Hands. Used to daily a Longines Hydroconquest and Victorinox Alliance Chrono...both great watches!

Lol love those dates. Hopefully it'll be less crowded there!

I'm not sure if they are available where you are (I assume they are?), but I'd recommend buying some large ziploc bags and using those for storage. They should keep for a few months even without boveda packs if temp is stable. If you wanted to be safe, I'd add a small boveda pack to each bag.

Oh lord, that was the most pathetic Super Bowl I’ve ever watched. Such a boring game and there was a complete lack of good commercials. I wish I could have those 4 hours of my life back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

These are so good. Down to only a few. OMS NOV 16. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Value? Relative to ultra-premium NC, they're almost all pretty good values. That said, the last LEs that I thought were great value were the Montecristo Grand Edmundo and Bolivar Petit Belicosos.

Not a fan of that list...:

What a joke. A simple Vigia, RyJ Short Churchill, or RASS would have smoked any of those crappy NCs in the top 10. I'm sure they made off handsomely with that bribe money.
