Just recently had a Pilon churchill and was very disappointed with it.

Used to smoke a lot of CAO's ten years ago and they were always great smokes, but the ones I have had recently have been let downs.

Several people have mentioned that the quality of CAO just isn't what it used to be.

Real shame as they were excellent smokes for a good price.

Tatuaje new T110 Reserva. A nice smoke, but somewhat limited draw. I tend to think that box-pressed smokes produce more volume per drag.

Interesting observation about the box pressed's.

Will have to start paying attention and see if I notice the same thing.

How was it?

Have a torpedo to try out still from my last nc order as they got pretty good reviews consistently.

Will be my first one of the line, but have enjoyed most AB's that I have had

It was really enjoyable! Very unique. Leathery but with this kinda...twang to it? Citrus maybe? Very nice. Strong but smooth.

Excellent in every regard as always.

Has been a consistently tasty and well constructed staple with me for a few years now.

Even prefer it over the more well regarded Unicos in fact, and its a fair bit cheaper which is always nice.

This one smoked like a champ. It was from Privada farm rolled though. I suspect that companies only give Privada highly QCed sticks as they are mainly doing it for cheap marketing. It is a win-win situation for both. And also a win for me .

Fonseca Delicias

My first of these

Very tasty and very flavorful. Did have a hint of bitterness on the finish, but felt pretty spongy and is very fresh from an unknown vendor since I was gifted a few to try before buying the box I was considering in a few days, so was likely a little over humidified.

Will dry box the other 3 for a few days and try again.

Perfect draw, burn and construction and for a small vitola, lasted 45 minutes which is nice.

Still planning to go ahead with the box purchase after trying this one.
