Re: Ave Maria toro
Smoking another one of these. I enjoy them quite a bit as a drankin'/doing homework/sitting outside the hotel cigar.
One funny thing about these is the room note/aroma coming from the foot. It's...

Re: LONSDALE love!
I've been smoking on a '17 box and they've been fantastic. So good, in fact, that I decided to pay an exorbitant sum for 2 more boxes. Got lucky with the box dates. 2019.

Re: Fonseca by My Father Cosacos
Too many bad experiences. Some bad construction, but mostly with underfermented tobacco. The last straw was a box of Tatuaje that still tasted like ammonia after 5 years in the humidor.
