Thanks for the note on that. I bought a box of the Soprano sticks, enjoyed them, but one of the few cigars that did not sit well with me on an empty stomach.

Smoking the "Drac" from the Pudgy Monster series tonight, with a glass of Surly Overrated.

We are happy.

I'm debating tonight's smoke, make it a Four Kicks Friday or a 2 year old Tatuaje Fausto Avion 2012

Last night I also smoked a Black Pearl. This cigar was ass backward. It was great in the first half and turned to garbage the second half. It had wonderful flavors and just died out to nothing. Then I returned to an old favorite, My Father Le Bijou petite robusto, to finish up the night. That is still one of my all-time favorites right there!

Gator, what did you end up setting ablaze last night? Those Avions are tasty regardless of vintage.

I had a Four Kicks from Crowned Heads. I really like the cigars Crowned Heads are producing now. They remind me of Tatuaje 6 years ago before all the brand spin offs and limited releases. Don't get me wrong I still buy a lot of Tats but I use to smoke them exclusively.

Crowned Heads cigars, Four Kicks, Headly Grange, Las Calaveras, IMHO rival anything coming from Tauaje and My Father. Headly Grange is probably my favorite.

I had a Las Calaveras that was fresh and bought another to age. Fresh was good but age I think will make it even better.

Right now I'm smoking a Zombie super shot. Fantastic smoke! Definitely a full bodied cigar.

Yes, the Brazilia is one of mine as well as is the Camshaft. I just picked one of each up last night. The Brasilia has some nice yellow cello going on.

I smoked an Arganese Café Dominicana breakfast blend this morning and enjoyed it more than the Varina Farm breakfast blend. This evening I smoked a CAO America. This was a good cigar with excellent flavors with a medium body. I am still partial to the Brazilia and Camshafts though.

Gator, did you try the Tiff yet?

After the first deluge for the night, I'm smoking a Flor de la Antillas surveying the property. No damage but creeks are high and fast.

What a disappointment on the Tiff. So far my favorite of the box has been "Frank". I'm actually considering getting two more boxes, one for me and one to save as a gift for someone.

Yes Tiff was not that great in my opinion. I have not smoked any of the others yet except a Chucky.

I have not had the Tiff and will likely wait. I got the lil monsters and the Jason when it came out so I have had all of them except the Tiff. I got these because the size will be good for late fall early winter when I can sit outside for a short time.

I am looking forward to the TAA release, they are returning to the blend from 2012, which is based on the Tauaje Porkchop blend. You stand find the Porkchop and pork tenderloin if you look and are willing to pay a high premium. I am not that dedicated but it was my favorite TaT of all time. The TAA realse is close a Little milder than I remember the Porkchop. I usually get half a box of the TAA release in Oct.
