Mi Barrio Torpedo. A Nicaraguan Puro. A bit rustic in appearance as there is a lot of veining and some blotches. J Garcia knows how to make a cigar though. Excellent draw, easy light. Starts with a solid medium body and slowly builds to full. Best to just ‘sip’ the smoke to maximize the enjoyment. Earthy, cedar, baking spices and old leather. Complex yet not fighting against itself. Solid medium gray ash. No harshness at all but I did get a bit of the nicotine spins towards the end. Yep … I liked it. Glad I have about a dozen left.

Temple Hall - I’ve had these in my possession for more than 30 years. Purchased in the old JR Cigar store in DC. Apparently this box was made in Jamaica before the big hurricane decimated the industry there. Obviously well aged. Mellow, flavorful with a subtle natural sweetness that made my mouth water. Loads of smoke without a bunch of effort. Very easy to enjoy.

Hoyo de Monterrey - Maduro. Aged 20+ years. Mellow yet still flavorful. Easy light, excellent draw, dense smoke. Quite pleasant.
