Is that the Royal corona? I have a couple of these that’ve been resting for over a year. Need to smoke ‘em!

First time trying a Hiram & Solomon Grand Architect over the weekend. Some pros and/or cons depending on what you look for in a cigar. Let me start by saying this was a very enjoyable smoke. Very nice appearance with a very smooth wrapper with no significant veins or seams. The cold draw brought to mind a creamy milk chocolate. I know this makes no sense, but I would describe it as a “soft”, but pleasant flavor profile. To me it was at most a medium bodied cigar with good smoke output. The draw was perfect from beginning to end as was the burn. Clearly a well constructed cigar. I never detected any significant pepper or harshness. It was very smooth throughout without any noticeable changes in flavor profile. If you are looking for something bold with a lot of complexity and distinctive flavor transitions this may not be the stick for you. If, however, you enjoy a nice smooth creamy smoking experience (like I do) this may be right up your alley. When I have a cigar I’m looking for a relaxing experience, not something that is going to overwhelm my taste buds. Others look for a totally different experience.
Diamond Crown Julius Caesar CFCF Toast Across America Box Pressed Piramide
Excellent taste, but unfortunately, that's where it ends
Draw,burn and construction were all bad.
Very disappointing, especially for a Diamond Crown Julius Caesar, and a limited run Toast Across America especially. Based on my experience with them, the quality was just terrible and a real disappointment and surprise.
Everyone produces the occasional dud unfortunately, and I definitely got one
I friggin' LOVE cigars

Padron 2000 with Ethiopian coffee
Could you make it sound less enticing, please I'm supposed to be on a buying freeze.
2016 Opus X Destino al Siglo Perfecxion X
Outstanding taste, a mild-medium at most, very mellow and smooth but still very flavorful
Have definitely learned i like the Opus X's a lot once they get about 5 years on them, vs fresh ones that are way too strong for my palate.
Perfect draw,burn and construction
Overall, just an outstanding smoke

It is the smallest one, PC I think. Bolivar Cubans are great. This one is from a 2019 box.
