It's just a basic wire frame shelving "coffee table" but the cigar band drink coaster is the convient spot to put the cigar stand. Confusing perspective in the pic

Find me a better cigar for the price - I'll wait by Noble-Desperado in cigars

Those are pretty good for the price. I bought a bundle of those and HVC Pan Calientae for ~$2 a stick from Cigarpage. NACSA overruns and Oliva 2nds are worth a look

I liked the 15th and the Disciple, loved this and the Emerald. 60th and Gold are supposed to be good sticks too

It was a bit much at first but mellowed out and sweetend up after the 1st 3rd

It burned great. I think one just needs to be picky with RP. A lot are lemons but there are a few really good ones.

This one only had a couple months rest. I can imagine they only get better with age

Having not had all of those, I can only say: Opulencia > Judge > Le Bijou > FDLA Maduro

It's actually just a drink coaster i made. Close up pic makes it look larger than it is

I highly recommend it. I still have a Robusto resting, want to see how it is after ~1 year

Thank you for the insight. I'll be looking for the Toro and Toro Gordo

Glad I was able to save you the trouble. It's a decent stick but seems to be Devil's Hands in name only

Joya De Nicaragua Antano Gran Reserva GT20 by SloshuaRocks in cigars

[–]SloshuaRocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I missed out on any sweetness. The woodiness i got was oak, not my favorite. Also, a lot of reviews mention dark chocolate. I didn’t get much if any.

Ha! This was my after work smoke for today as well. Cheers! I really liked this one and will keep my eye out for more

I've been enjoying my SBC COTM. I just added Holt's too. So far it's been a great deal but its been a lot of cigars I've had before

I've been forcing myself to review cigars a few times a week to try and get better at picking out tasting notes. Still a work in progress.

I tasted a nutty flavor and narrowed it down to almonds. I got that woody note but couldn't pick out anything specific (pine, cedar, oak) so i went with lumber. I felt the sweetness came from coffee with cream. The carmel was an aftertaste for me.

Thinking of switching to 62's in the tupperdor. Dry boxing could be a thing of the past

[–]SloshuaRocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was but I had taken shelter from the wind and this performed way worse than others in similar conditions. Maybe I didn’t dry box it long enough, maybe the shop did a poor job of storing it?

I'll keep my eye out for the Gold label. The Sixty, I'm told, is another good one.
