Tried 2 new ones today...

The new blended La Aroma de Cuba: Just okay.
A little torpedo called Diesel: Pretty darn good actually (PA broadleaf maduro wrapper is tasty!)

Yes the LADC was the pepin blended version - a robusto. It wasn't bad at all, very peppery and rich with similarities to the blue line & the famous 70th garcia family stick. It got a little bitter half way through, so I slowed down & it went away. Then towards the last 1/3 the wrapper split to the cap due to expanding filler... After a few more pulls I laid it down...

The Diesel has that rich PA broadleaf maduro wrapper (also on the RP winter blend & The CI LE anniversary stick, etc.) awesome leaf! The blend was done by AJ Fernandez (I was told), It was very well balanced, strong at first, then it mellowed out with a sweet peppery spice that changed throughout the stick. The price point is nice too. I paid $4 for a single. I'll be grabbing more of these!

Yep. Ran 3.5 miles, ate some almonds and finishing up the night with an 02 HDM De Dieux.

Wow. The Magic Kingdom... right there...walking distance. Screw it. I would rather smoke the cigar.
