NC Trials

Had a Leaf by Oscar Corojo last night that I quite enjoyed. On the milder side but was not plain, the retrohale was very flavorful and it held up well to a glass of bourbon.
Want to try more before getting a bundle to make sure it's not a fluke. I had the Toro but am intrigued by the lancero, anyone have vitola recommendations?

Also have enjoyed the Tatuaje Havana VI, had some excellent smokes, but they have been really inconsistent. Had a few with construction issues, 1 was unsmokable due to a large piece of stem inside it, and several have been meh to mediocre. Others were great, though, so very strange.

Smoking a Padron 1964 natural now, the smaller Principe size, and now that I'm more than 1/3 of the way in it's very nice. Not sure that it's worth the price tag, but I'll try more.
