    I am going to have another Ramon Bueso Project tomorrow just to re-evaluate my impression of them, I just can’t get it out of my head.

    Today I will finish up the last 1/3 of my Tabak & I have a San Cristobal Quintessence to have later this evening.

    I finished up my Tabak Con Leche, this is the only Drew Estate that I have every gotten tar out of. I have had some cheapo flavored ones do this.

    I can swear it with my finger & it has killed the cigar.

    Well back home guys from the winery!!!!
    Having me a cheapo tonight, in the shop. Smoke sweet bye drew estate, not bad for the price. Bang vs buck and I’d say it’s great for the price. C430EB8A-803D-4CEB-98F8-691A41D7F337.jpeg

    Any Factory Smoke and Isla Del Sol's are overtaking my JR Alternative No.2 knockoff's for a daily go to. Very reasonable price wise

    That's a bummer. I've only had 1 cigar do that, but dammed if I can remember what it was.

    I have talked about Bandidos going up in price but they are going for $50 now for 60. I was buying them for $19 about 3 months ago.

    Had this one today. Grabbed a 5er of these last year. It was a lot smoother than the first one I had last year.

    I had this Ramon Bueso Oscuro this morning, it had good flavor but didn’t burn well. It was raining & windy so I am thinking maybe the extra humidity had an effect on it.

    It’s been awhile since I have had one of these, decent flavors & great burn.
