That is either a Tatuaje Jason or JV13 @highsierrasmokin'Anybody know which Tat this is? Red band with green lettering and graphics. I'd buy a box of these in a heart beat.

If it was a 7-1/2 x 52 then if was a JV13 (Jason Voorhees / Friday the 13th). More info on that here... Tatuaje The JV13 | halfwheel
They Jason came in "skinny" (6 x 38) and "pudgy" (5-1/2 x 52) versions. That would be printed on the back of the label if it were one of those.

This was from their advent calendar and was a 4.5x46(I think). The lettering on the Jason's is black though. This lettering was green.They also release a Cazadores sampler every year.

Proud Creator of the Imperfecto
I rolled this from the tobacco I grew last year. Filler was a mix of stem cured sucker lugs and stem cured ligero/corona from either Criollo98 or Habano2000, one or the other, hard to tell them apart. Binder and wrapper were Connecticut Broadleaf. Surprisingly nice smoke, considering nothing was properly aged. No grassy notes, just nuts and oak, slightly floral, with some depth. A bit strong, from the corona, but not overwhelming. Good after dinner smoke with port, which is when/how I had it.
I didn't really get any high quality wrappers of decent size last year. The binder was in two pieces and I pre-wrapped head and foot, and as usual I rolled it into a double pointer, or a 1930's style perfecto, aka "Imperfecto". I now leave a nice twist on the head end rather than neatly cutting it, so it is easier to tell the difference between head and foot. Lighting it the wrong way around will almost always result in the wrapper unwrapping.
The size of the wrapper limited my size a bit. Most of my cigars are around 5" to 5-1/2" and this one was only about 4-1/2" but it was a rather enjoyable short smoke. Nothing spectacular, but I wouldn't have been disappointed in it if I had paid for it, and it was certainly fun to smoke a puro from all homegrown leaf.
This was actually smoked two days ago, the same day I got this year's tobacco crop in the ground, so it was an appropriate day to have it. I only planted 38 plants this year but I expect to see a significant increase in quality over last year's crop, from what I learned last year.
