My last Arturo Fuente W. Curtis Draper 125th Anniversary. I was gonna bomb it to a good BOTL, but I found out he already had two of them! Go figure! Oh well, no better time then now. :)

Viaje Exclusivo Super Lance. Not quite as good as I expected, may need some rest. Anyone else tried these yet?

I picked one up last week and put it away. At $10.25 I hope it improves over your assessment. Was it just young tasting? I don't smoke a lot of Viaje, although I really enjoyed the super shot and zombie super shot.

That was my first experience with the Exclusivo line, so I don't have anything to base it off of. It just seemed like it was a little on the green side and I got the impression that it could be better. After that one I started looking around here more and it seems like a lot of guys let them rest for at least 6 months.

1st super lance is just passing a rough spot. Pretty disappointed so far. First a canoe then a tunnel. I hope it gets right soon or I'm gonna pitch this thing...

...update.
It finished strong, but over all it's a loss on this one. I have another that I'll try soon. I'm sure it'll be good if its better constructed than tonight's disaster. Btw, I agree that it still tasted a bit young.

Viaje seems to be so hit and miss...
This is the first Exclusivo that has ever let me down. I'll say skull&bones have been hit or miss,and the Oro's consistency isn't that great. All the super shots are all on time. Most of their other stuff I've had is really good to me, but this one seems like it could be a dud. The biggest thing to me was the construction problems. I think it'll be nice if the next one performs. We'll see.

My Father Cedros Deluxe.
I enjoy a My Father, and was ready for some pepper blasts, but found this to replace the pepper with cedar the whole way through. Not a bad thing, but also my first cedar wrapped stick.
