    I had a oliva V melanio maduro that was a 2nd on last week thu. Wow! That was one great cigar! I guess the rest did them well.

    Also had a couple other cigars that I can forget about talking about. :doh:

    Can't remember if I mentioned the MX 2 by CAO either and I'm not about to look back in previous posts.

    That is one great cigar! There aren't very many cigars that I will smoke down to an inch.....get too hard to hang onto.....but this one was well worth the effort!

    So, two great cigars and 3-4 not so great cigars. I'm saving the ones that I know are good for when visitors show up after the fourth.

    Had Mississippi River a VaPer blend by Seattle Pipe co. It’s tangy with lots of dark dried fruit, campfire smoke, and dark chocolate/coffee. Enjoyed in a 70-90 dollar bjarne Viking 106 that I won on cigar bids for 30 bucks. Nice pipe I’m stoked to have it IMG_2992.jpeg

    Danged oliva 2nds! :mad:

    I had 2 more of them hoping that I'd have another really good one and no such luck. :headbang:

    I'm ready to donate the whole danged bunch to some unlucky sucker. :picard:

    Had a la traviata maduro after the oliva fail.

    Always a good cigar. About 20 of those left now. The cellophane has a nice amber tint to it!

    I haven’t had a bad one out of the Churchills I have. Sorry to hear about your bad luck with them.

    Had this one today after lunch. It was pretty good. Needs to be smoked slow and it produces a slightly sweet coco/earth flavor with hints of pepper. Great lawnmower or lazy day summer smoke. yooperdave you might want to give one a shot. IMG_3004.jpeg

    Those are good cigars, I have a box of them.
    The label looked black in the picture, like this one.
