Smoking with my Dad in Portland. Padron no.35 maduro for him and BotL corona for me
I went strait for the Fausto, mmm.Smoked the La Riqueza Lance out of the Tat Lance Sampler today, paired with a homemade chai tea.
It wasn't a disappointment, as I had no expectations, but the smoke was kind of bland. The was no depth to the flavor a bit of dry earthiness and a hit of spice now and again, but nothing to write home about. It did burn well, and put off a fair amount of smoke.
Anyone else smoke theirs yet?
Good smoke!Tonight's treat
Seen a few of these being smoked lately. Tried one earlier this year then bought a fiver. Just had the first one of the fiver over the weekend with about 4 months on rest. Wasn't as impressed as I remember. 1st inch was a firkin pepper bomb. Middle 1/3 was decent then got spicy again and had some burn issues where the wrapper overlapped itself. It new what I was thinking and extinguished itself as I was about to put it down.La Dueña from My Father Cigars.
