Great seeing you Ken @personal UserSmoking an Illusione Singulare Rose Croix from 2013. Really nice smoke. Has needed a bit of touchup now and then. Hasn't bothered me in the slightest. Some of the best smokes I've had need that.
Another stick that comes from Texas… I have had a few…Micallef grande bold Nicaragua
Never had this brand but their market people are really good so I figure what the heck.. I got a 6 cigar samplerView attachment 46626

One of my favorites, nice!View attachment 46627
Littlest sister is moving to Sweden. We’re sending her off today.
I've never tried to put any age on these -- I don't think that any I've had have lasted more than s few weeks in the humidor. DE cigars always seem to me like they are ready to go ROTT, pretty much. Did you not like them upon first visit, either?Drew Estates Nica Rustica. I’ve been sitting on these for a little over a year now. I hoped some time would help build these up a bit, but the flavor just isn’t there for me. Glad I only bought a 5er.

I was not a fan upon arrival (I think I had two). That’s why I let them sit. There just wasn’t enough of any given flavor to be exciting to me. Had there been more pepper or more chocolate/earth it would have been fine. Instead, it reminded me of a La Croix where you’re just drinking fizzy water while someone in the next room yells the name of a fruit.I've never tried to put any age on these -- I don't think that any I've had have lasted more than s few weeks in the humidor.
