Not impressed with the Monte White lunch smoke. i remember a few years ago while working in the humidor for Cigarette City in Smyrna DE they had Monte White Toros for about 12.00/stick and I was allowed to smoke anything "unsalable" due to chips or cracks ,etc. so there were occasional "damaged" Monte whites i'd smoke. they were damn good sort of acting mild while delivering some decent flavors and a nice dose of vitamin N. today's offering was just harsh. i'm wondering, with the seeming dumping of Monte Christo sticks lately (never remember them going on sale so much in the past) if they had a bad run of tobacco and are getting rid of some sub par sticks.
Any interest in the new CH/Monte collaboration, Ciudad De Musica?

I recently made a pork shoulder that went over really well with the family. Even reheated, it never dried out and was super tender. Will be making another one soon.

Only had the one but felt it was meh. I'd try it again though.
Aladino by Julio R. Eiroa. Taste like an old school Camacho.
