How you like the Matilde?

I want not too bad at all. It was on the milder side of medium to me, with leathery notes dominating. Nothing earth-shattering for me - it was a little one dimensional but solid nonetheless.

This is #3 of a 5-pack. The previous two were a bust. Not because of flavor, but because of construction. I think now that I simply got a bad batch. About half of the forward end is packed very loose, and the smoking end is just a bit tighter, but not much. They don't burn evenly and they don't stay lit. This one was the same.

What if I were to take the other two and dry them out a bit?
My humidors are all running 65 - 68 %

For real, brother, check out the newbie sampler trade. It will be worth it like @kann mentioned. There’s nothing wrong with those CI sampler packs if that floats your boat, but the newb sampler will give you the opportunity to try some high quality smokes that have been better cared for and 9/10 times more enjoyable.

First album I ever bought and the only album I owned for about 2 years. Fitting of such a cigar.

I've been meaning to check these out. What's the recommended vitola to try?

This, I think, toro is the only one I've gotten my hands on, so someone else with more experience with them would have to chime in. I can tell you that the few sticks I've had from Selected Tobacco (Byron, Attabey, Bandolero) have all been tasty and are fantastically constructed. High cost, but you can tell they're not just riding on the name to justify it.

From an AJ Fernandez sampler pack - Ave Maria Reconquista Box-Pressed Perfecto in 6 x 60.

This is a full bodied stick, and quite tasty. Well constructed - and just a nice smoke.
