Son and DIL gave me a Yeti 30 oz stainless thermal cup for Fathers Day and it kept my coffee piping hot for 2 hours this morning, nice!  Will save me $2.25 for a Starbucks around 7:30 most mornings.

Plus you can stop giving your money to the commies.  Sounds like the perfect FD gift.

This L'At has become meh, moving on to a Little Devil.

I need no more convincing, later gents.

Sounds like a very good save move.

It's a jaw breaker.  Even with the bit of taper on the end.  The draw is a bit tough too.  With that said, it's got that classic corojo flavor.  I happen to like that.  I'm afraid of it going out though so I'm puffing a little too aggressively, making the flavors a little harsh.

Bean, you ever smoked a Little Devil and MOWPA side by side for comparison. 
Need to do that as memory paints a very similar profile for me.

Take a bit more off the end.  Should open up for you.

That's probably where I went wrong.  Its opening up now.  I also have to admit that the CI tasting notes seem to be spot on.

The pretty ladies out here are making this cigar taste even better.

That makes perfectly good sense.

Rookies.  Sheesh.

I have not.  Been awhile since I've had any of the MoWPA's in stock, but as memory serves, similar.  Do love the LD's though, so given the choice between the two, will stick with them.

That is a big-boy.  Sounds like it smokes above it's price point based on the CI "out of stock" price. And who doesn't love a "long lip-smacking finish".

I would definitely smoke it again.  You are right about the price point making it more attractive.
