Stashed away since 2013, time for it to see the light of day (…or in this case, the lights of our garage…).

How was it with that much age?

Haven't had one in about 10 years for no particular reason, but used to really enjoy them rott. Excellent tasting smokes.

Curious how age affects them

What do you think of the Club Kings?

Have debated getting some multiple times, but at around $12 per stick for a small vitola has always made me back out.

Also don't see many opinions/reviews on them, and I think this is the first one I have seen in one of these type of threads on multiple forums.

I didn’t have a good experience with this one. It started out good but then it started to rain about 5 minutes into it. I was able to take shelter but then it tarred up and got bitter so I gave up on it about 2/3 of the way through. ( I even clipped the cap 4 times to get past the tar)

As far as cost, I did a box split with a couple other guys so I am into them for around $8 a stick I think. Although still a little expensive for a corona sized cigar, it is a lot more in line price wise with what I would expect to pay. These were purchased before Prices started to go nuts because if the supply shortage so not sure if they are available at that price anywhere anymore.

Yeah, at $8 I'd be more willing to give them a shot.

A quick look shows 5 packs at $11ea and boxes for about $10ea. Minimum currently.

Asylum Friday 13th Figurado

Better after a week, but I'm still not overly impressed. There are hints of mineral that reminds me more of graphite, but it really strikes me as ligero for the sake of ligero.

Asylum gives no details about this cigar. However, based on the band, and flavors at the end of the first 1/3, I would guess it is supposed to tie in to the Arkham line of Dominican cigars.

I thought it lost some of it’s oomph as well as flavor. Got about 3 or 4 left so gonna smoke them sooner rather than later.

Cabaiguan Guapos 46 Corona Gorda

Excellent taste. Very unique flavor.

Excellent burn,draw and construction

All around great Cigar

Eta:
Wasn't aware these were a Tatuaje until I googled them to find some to add to my bookmarks of Cigars i enjoyed and want to buy in the future. Explains why I liked it so much.

I have really enjoyed every Tatuaje I have had so far, and I have had a fair number of them now. Definitely a recently discovered favorite nc marca.
