Post-champagne brunch. I could do with some more bubbly. Padron 5000, I'm guessing?

Pretty good after a steak

Got some age on this here RP Edge. Truthfully it was good til the last third then it was, well, not.

Tried these two today, have to say not a fan. Would pass on another from this line.
Anyone have a different experience?

Fuente Fuente Opus X Oro Oscuo, Fuente Fuente

Bought it tonight at the bar, very disappoionting. Had what I assume to be cigar beetle damage, burned a small hole down the insode of the cigar, tasted like ash and debris. Kept hoping it would get better, but it was just extended torture. Finally gave up.
EDIT: Went back and a lot of the cello has beetle holes. Sad to see such a good box die like this.

It even looks like you put it on the ground in disappointment. I can imagine you shaking your head at this one. Personally never tried this brand.

EMILIOOO!

I'm not familiar. What were they doing, or maybe not doing, that made them not good?

Lol, the handrail is made of the same faded wood.

Well, it was just flat in the flavor dept. Also a bad aftertaste somewhere between floral and chemical. They were different in how the poor taste was, but construction and burn was good.

Same company (Oveja Negra factory in Esteli, Nicaragua) as Black Works, Black Label, Dissident. In the Emilio line I've had the Papa Joe. I'd have another but nothing special. I've also had a Grimlakin that I loved and have a box ordered. I've always been a little hit or miss with these brands. Not bad experiences, just sticks out of my wheelhouse.

Time to give this another shot. Brought my trusty sidekick with me.

Did you make the owner aware or did they just say it was plume

While exploring the woods with Tizzy. I don’t think her previous human allowed her outside. It’s a joy to watch her do her thing. She acts like she thinks she’s a Bengal Tiger in the hingle
