Finishing up the night with cao America had this on the 4th and it was just as good

Chartreuse?

Sonofabitch. You're going to bake me Google "chartreuse", aren't you? That's like a purple'ish, right?

Well, let me see what I've got...

*EDIT* OK, I was way off on that color. I think I may have something that fits the Bill.

A brother on the west coast sent this Panacea, which was breakfast. My goodness, talk about as smooth as silk wrapper, don't recall a wrapper this outright fine. Smoke-wise ( at least for me ) was mild +, which was good as i needed something genteel this morning. Makes me wonder what their other sticks are like.

For tonight. Really good so far. Pairing with a Japanese whiskey, sorry cant remember the name. Tasty combo.

Hanging out by my pool (as you can see in the picture) smoking a great aganorsa from a sampler. Good bit of pepper on it but great flavors. I bet these get amazing with some years

1960’s Celestials Finos. First half was really spicy with white pepper and graphite. Second half was all honey and graham cracker down through the nub.

How many Ticonderogas do I need to smoke before I can pick out graphite in a cigar. Asking for a friend

Lol! I’m sure you at some point you put the tip of a pencil in your mouth as a kid in school. If you ever smoke a really old (and properly cared for) Cuban cigar that descriptor will just click. Let’s see if @CigSid or @cody5thou can elaborate. I didn’t get Talcum Powder though.

Opened up the coolidor looking for a smoke and this one dropped out. I love it when decisions are made easy.

I've never tried one, myself, but I do believe that may just be my favorite cigar band I've ever seen.

Haha, I believe you. Just couldn’t help myself

Reminds me of an Americano with an extra shot of espresso. Also some dark chocolate and a tiny bit of white pepper in the finish. Different from the Maestros I’ve had, but still good. Thinking 6-12 months in the humidor will do these some good.

I have tasted what I would call “pencil lead” or “graphite” in older Cuban cigars... it’s actually one of the few tastes that I look for, along with white pepper (yes, WPM “white pepper matters”) and nutmeg... Oh... and no talcum powder though... never... ever...
