Something new lit up, TAA Edition FdLA Sun Grown Lancero

Waiting on baseball to start at 3:00.
That sounds like a winner. Looking forward to a cigar in about 60 minutes. May go for the Montecristo New York Connoisseur Edition. I'm not a big Monte fan but I bought one of each, New York and Las Vegas.
What better choice for walking the streets of NYC
Here's the write-up on it...

Montecristo New York Connoisseur Edition was blended with New York in mind. The packaging is first-class, with individual slots, retaining the cigar’s sharp box-press shape. A clean and refined black box is highlighted with New York imagery. But the real star is the blend. Using an ultra-premium Ecuadoran Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Dominican fillers, it is a blend that has won over locals for years. Now it can be a part of your collection, anywhere in the world!
Sounds like an interesting smoke, there are also TX and Chicago additions, TX is a 60 RG though.

building my white clam sauce for ravioli tonight. should be ready at 6pm. cucumber, tomato, and onions marinating in Italian dressing for salad, loaf of crusty Italian bread prepped with real garlic and butter to throw in the oven half hour prior to eating.
Cheese ravioli with clam sauce?

I'm not judging, just asking.
yes, it's very good. you need to try it sometime.
I just may. Red or white?
I'm doing white.

I prefer white but am thinking red might go better with the cheese ravioli.

I don't believe there is only one vitola per blend.

We cook cheese ravioli with a light red sauce on a regular basis and it is very good.  Personally though, as a general rule I am not a big fan of white sauces over pastas other than an Alfredo sauce once in a while.

Not sure but the 60’s were all I saw in the TX edition but others may have been sold out.

Curious to hear your report on the NY sick.

I take that back. It appears only the New York comes in 2 sizes. But because it's box pressed, I didn't realize it was a 6x60. Seems smaller.

Good smoke only 2 days OTT, but I think it will likely improve with a few months rest.

Supposedly the one on the left is a 60RG and on the right is a 54RG. The New York feels like a 48RG to me. Didn't think a box press would change it that drastically.

I have never been a fan of red clam sauce for some reason other than it doesn't agree with me.
