Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

[Mossome]

For no real reason, smoked a couple Las Calaveras today.
Currently enjoying this 2016 LC46. Only the second one out of the box. Very spicy and full flavored. Maybe another month, and these might be fantastic. Both of the ones I've had have been very veiny, and more rustic than I expected. Is this the case for everyone, or did I just get a weird batch?

Earlier, I had a 2015 LC46 (not pictured). A year's age has been great for them. Very smooth, but still complex. Great flavors, especially on the retrohale. In my opinion, they are a very underrated cigar. They got a bad rap because they weren't the same as the 2014 (and everyone wanted them to be a rerelease of the 2014). Like seeing a knuckleball when you were expecting a fastball.

My '16 LC46s were extremely rustic. I can do better with CT broadleaf and I was a little disappointed in appearance but the flavors made up for it for me personally.

Tonight with much thanks to @OtismyMan while enjoying some football. This is my fist of these. Not very far in, but I'm digging it so far. Has a dark fruit sweetness/spice balance I really like

Well, that's a little unfair. You are a #9 roller after all.

Don't sell yourself short, brother. From what I've seen, you are well on your way.

So what were your thoughts? Be honest.

I probably have the least amount of experience with PL's. I see that changing drastically, these are awesome.

Fast becoming one of my favorite morning cigars: Laranga Reserva Robusto Extra, Smooth drawn and strong hints of Orange rind, coffee, pepper, always changing notes.
