So my smoke today was OUTSTANDING!
Thank you so much @Wicket for this Eastern Standard Live East Die Young.
I'm a total flavor wheel noob but I swear I could taste Crem da la Cream in this bad boy. Thanks you @Wicket I loved this.
The thing I really loved though was turning a "Cigar ashtray from Bali gifted from my mother (god bless her ignorance)" with my young lads fishing shoe to create a usable stogie ashtray.

So come on @Senor Perfecto as discussed you can tell me what vitola this is... I'm still trying to fathom the fact the spanish have a word for length and width together....

As I said RG is an estimated 46-48.... I think


Loved it... nub'd it... buying a box of it...

A great Friday evening smoke..

Burning a little uneven but tasty.

I have had two of the Ridrigo cigars and to be honest I have not been impressed at all with the construction. Flavor is ok, but construction has impacted the burn too much for me to smoke. I have a few more to smoke, so I won't write them off yet, but so far - not so good.

This was the 2nd out of my 5er and the first flat out wouldn't burn. I've had home rolls that smoked better right after I'm done wrapping them and the wrappers still wet. Apparently these are coming from a factory that produces another brand I've had the same problems with. Seems like the wrapper/binder combo is too thick to keep a steady burn. Great profile but definite combustion issues so far IME.

Seems to be a reoccuring problem...let me know what the other brand is, I think I know, but would be interested to see if I was right.

Had the same thought this morning, just didn't have time as I was running late.

With all the discussion about Caldwell lately I've decided to revisit a couple.

The Eastern Standard was better than I remember. This Long Live the King isn't terrible either. Although, it could be nice enough to stay lit for me.

Great yard gar for less than a buck each.
