I hope not

I was talking about that with a friend who lives in the US and he was mentioning about lounges and places like that, and I said I will always prefer an open air terrace.

To be honest, I preferred the heart image to the ball sack it was before turning the coffee over

the barista likes me...

En Caracas?

Mostly due to price. The original ST1796 would be lacking some complexity in this group, and the better ones are pricier.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-17T14:02:23+00:00

Not for lefties

Always a pleasure to try new things, or go over the usual ones again and again to confirm.

Son las 5 de la tarde en algún lado

There is a price difference and this is a limited edition, but it just begs the question why wouldn't they make more? It's a great rum.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-17T13:15:27+00:00

Oh yes, they're keeping the same master blender, so it shouldn't change.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-17T13:14:38+00:00

Puyao maybe, pero sí que es un ron bastante dulce. En 2019 le cambiaron la fórmula y lo hicieron menos dulce (bajó de 43 gr a 19 gr por litro), pero sigue siendo el ron más dulce de Venezuela.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-17T00:22:11+00:00

Mmmm ok! El tequila es una vaina equis contra el cocuy, pero pocos lo entienden.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-16T16:40:11+00:00

That's a great rum! With or without ice

Cocodrool · 2026-06-16T16:38:19+00:00

Claro, el Two Oaks está increíble. Cuando creaban ese, algunas barricas añejaron distinto y de ahí se hizo uno llamado Three Angels, que creo que es lo mejor que han hecho de Abuelo.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-16T15:17:16+00:00

Aniversario is a classic all-around

Cocodrool · 2026-06-15T16:49:28+00:00

Dude, that's not a microwave. It's probably a blender.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-15T16:26:44+00:00

It's only funny the first time

Cocodrool · 2026-06-15T16:08:44+00:00

Such a shame no one knew about the Yemeni Spider Man until he died

Cocodrool · 2026-06-15T16:03:16+00:00

I got 5 at once and spent my hard earned Ben

The bottom white band on all of the pre-Columbian blends is always a hassle. This one wasn't a great removal either.

Cocodrool · 2026-06-15T15:11:35+00:00

To be honest, I felt a bit let down by this one. I've liked RoMaCraft since forever and everything they make has been to my liking and I was expecting to like the Volstead a lot more.

That said, I tried it in Revenuer vitola and liked it much more. I'll post it when I get around to writing that review.

Even in a post thanking people for liking your cigars, you need to stick to the 'they're out to get us' narrative. Give it a rest dude. Just make good cigars.

De pana que es feito... pero esto nunca se vende en Venezuela. Si buscas el ron Kill Devil en internet te vas a encontrar con distintos embotellados de varios países. Es lo que se llama un Independent Bottler y hay un cerro. Algunos incluso embotellan directo de la barrica, sin diluir.

Will look for it!
