Prepare to be jealous:

Joya de Nicaragua “Antono Dark Corojo”- I wanted to like this one more than I did. I have another, I’m going to give it another shot with a cleaner palate.

Illusione/Drew Estate “Nosotros”- Had one that was a week old, so it was pretty ammoniated still. Lots of potential.

A guy on the trip, Matt, gave me an LG Oscuro, which is a rare version of the LG. Thanks, Matt!

Drew Estate “Dirty Rat” – I liked this a lot- not sure of the release date.

Joya de Nicaragua “Cabineta” – With a dual wrapper (one from band down, one from band up), this was one of my favorites. I’m a sucker for a schtick.

Nestor Miranda “Dominicana” by Don Pepin – I liked it, a lot. Spicier than I would have thought, which you know I love.

Don Pepin “Tobacos Baez Serie H” – I’m about to smoke this now!

PS- I learned that Oliva is going to release the Cain “F” or Super Fuerte as a regular line in March

Can you guess what cigar this was? A customer had it in the store, and it was oozing tar like crazy.

Tarry Cigarry!
