Originally was going to smoke a Herrera Esteli on the way home but I think I'm going to go for the La Boheme Encantador instead, since I haven't tried one yet.
Box pressed robusto? Nice flavors. I'm getting mostly a black pepper spice on the retrohale.

Off to the airport to pick the daughter up.  Later.
That was quick. Thought she just left. Has it been a week already?
10 days. She left in the middle of the first nor'easter.
Sheesh. I would have sworn it was only right before this past weekend.

So, how does she fell about polenta and risotto?
Not crazy about the "Italian grits", but said she had an outstanding wild mushroom risotto, and an asparagus and zucchini risotto.  Really liked the meats and cheeses.

Hey Bean, better be careful picking up those cigar deliveries. Not good for Austin,  sheesh.
You know something I don't? 
edit: Let me rephrase, you know something about Austin and cigars that I don't?
No, Austin and boxes.

take a gander at CNN, a couple of deliveries that exploded, at least one fatality...
CNN is biased fake news. I don't watch it.
I didn't, checked it out on our local Fox affiliate.
my preferred choice also.
CarolinaDave would be proud!

The pepper gives way after the first third. Got lots of peanut and sweet notes of dark berries. Also get some licorice. Nice stick.

Looks like a little bit of a wavy burn.

Draw was a bit tight too. But it did autocorrect after a few puffs and then would go back to wavy.

As long as  the flavors are good, we can put up with minor performance issues.  (unlike TWSS)

Not a big fan of tight draws, though.  Performance should not require a laborious suck (TWSS).

It wasn't that tight a draw or I would have pitched it. I just prefer them a little easier.
