Recent smokes whilst being on the backend of a bit of a flu

Oliva Serie V Lancero:

Probably my favorite size of the Serie V blend.
Note a smoke that strays much from the very clear dark chocolate and leather flavors but every once in a while the retrohale would throw some nutty notes (think rich pistachio or almond vibes)
Burn was impeccable without any touching up required. Just a nice, hands off and watch the world go by smoke

Sombressa Brûlée Blue:

This was my third time smoking this cigar and for some reason it just felt bland compared to the previous times. I’ll chalk it up to palate fatigue but the one thing you can’t escape is the unreal sweetness from it.
Settles in nicely and flows between grassy, hay type notes towards slight peppery hits. Retrohales towards the last 3rd threw in some new, almost dark caramel flavors (the type of notes that carry some slight acrid bite to them)

Now I loved this cigar the first 2 times I’ve smoked it so by no means will this 3rd time turn me off them at all

It may not be the most popular of the Sobremesa line; it sure was a nice little stick

Big hits of cedar/oak flavors with the occasional leather and toasted nut flavor (specifically like eating a Brazil nut with a hard to define “funkiness” to it)

My second one of these and it’s just further reinforced my excitement to keep exploring the whole DTT portfolio

First time trying the Sonata after having a few of the Nicaragua Quattro’s; cannot recommend these enough for those of us that are medium - full inclined.

Notes of dark chocolate and spice with a nice leather flavor towards the 2nd half.

I feel like Aging Room often gets forgotten about but every offering I’ve had from them has been wonderful

The fact that this order from SP took an additional 2 weeks from the order being placed to even be sent out in the post ain’t even an issue if it means dodging the ransom letter
