A windy day after the storm but a nice day overall. Sitting here with my wife and our girl Val. Drinking a Michter’s old fashioned paired with an AJ Fernandez Decinio.
Have a great day everyone!!

I tried a Liga Privada for the first time yesterday. I definitely paid more for it than what I normally do for cigars. I usually get cigars from like online deals that drops the price per cigar down to under $5 or right around $5 even if it's $15 cigar. I wanted to try this one especially so I actually purchased it at the local brick and mortar and I paid $17.25 for it.

Well, I will say that I was pleased with it. There was have something wrong with it at all. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, for some reason I thought it was going to be a little bolder maybe a bit more pepper. It ended up being a lot more on the creamy side than what I had imagined it would be. It still was a very good cigar though! The burn was pretty much immaculate the whole way down. The draw was really nice and smooth, I had no problems there to speak of. I didn't have to use my tool on it to get a better draw, it just flows straight through the v-cut that I put in the cap.

Overall though, I thought it was a really good smoke. I would definitely have to say that I was satisfied!

I started smoking cigars about a month ago, what got me into trying them was those mini flavored cigars called Toscanellos, and for some reason I just felt like I wanted to try Cigars. I am very new to all this, but I am really enjoying it.

Not bad,burned really good,this is the best draw I’ve had so far.

In my humidor for the last 3 years...

Here is a cigar profile that is really hard for me not to love:

Wrapper: Dark, oily Mexican San Andrés Maduro.
Binder: Stalk-cut, sun-cured Connecticut Habano.
Fillers: Aged long-fillers from Brazil (Mata Fina) and Nicaragua.
Strength: Medium to full

So damn good. I’ve fluctuated between favoring Habano and San Andres wrappers for years… with CT Broadleaf nipping at their heels… but I think the last 4-5 sticks I’ve really enjoyed have finally put the battle to rest.

I am a San Andres fan. Something about the floral finish in a SA wrapper makes them really tough to put down.

I love this stick because it combines some of my favorite tobaccos into a sweet, complex, spicy 🤌 great cigar.

Purchased from The Leaf Affair in Killeen, TX a few weeks ago. Completely fell apart on me.

Feeling fancy this morning with a Southern Draw Rose of Sharon paired with a Matcha Strawberry Bun from 85 degrees bakery.

The Green Leather Kikko case for my Xifei Tear Drop Cutter matches perfectly 🤌

Such a good stick. This one was perfect down to the nub. I really should get me one of those roach-clip thingies.

Today I tried a Oliva Serie V Melanio at Bay Briar Shoppe in Santa Cruz California. It is very rich and silky. #cigar #cigars #tobacconist #santacruz

Picked me up this guy yesterday and going to see how he plays out

Definitely a sweetened tip but it’s quite pleasant. Overpriced though.

Pretty good. It didn't blow me away but it was a very good cigar. I might try another one before deciding if i like it enough to stock up. This one felt a little flat and I think another try might be different. I rested it for 42 days before smoking. The cigars in the shipment this came in have all been flat so I'm wondering if they were not stored well.

I was getting background notes of cream and caramel with some slight saltiness. Those were very nice flavors but they didn't pop the way I expected based on other reviews. Some pepper but very tame and easy to retro.

Very high quality smoke and enjoyable but I'd hope for a little better at this price point based just on this one experience.

my first LFD and I have a Double Ligero Oscuro lined up for later in the week, hope it's on the same level 🤞
