Looking forward to trying this. Not what I would normally expect from Kyle and the first time he has used NACSA. J

Will give these a few days to acclimate but looking forward to both.

Try them! I haven’t had many Curivari but for the price, they were outstanding. Curious about this new line. Aren’t they around $4.50? Jason

Totally posted this in the wrong thread. My head must be in twisted today. 3 outstanding cigars, new to the humidor. Gellis Family (Warped) Saunter Black Works Studio Neon Tiger Warped La Colmena 10th Anniversary - The La Colmena was probably my new world epiphany cigar so I had to grab a box of these and my first one was lovely.

After trying a few different Tuxtlas, I just skip them now. I am not generally a fan of San Andres but gave them a shot because it was Tatuaje, and the results were the same. The Capa Especial should be drastically different than all of the Tuxtlas. Jason

Warped Drop Royal Palms, made at Tabacalera La Isla. Terrific smoke. Jason

Look forward to your thoughts on the Black Honey. It is much beloved. I bought the new one but haven't tried yet. Just because I wanted to give it another spin. In the past, I was not a fan. A dissenting opinion. I think the black honey is a mix of La Colmena and El Oso. I LOVE La Colmena but am not a fan of the El Oso. The Sky Flower is fire. Had my second Moon Garden yesterday. I liked it a lot but it is strong. I felt it for about an hour after I smoked it. Jason

I will post my thoughts when I try it again. I consider the Blue in pretty much a league of its own. My first Wagashi was great, but not in the elite realm. Not a disappointment for me. Like I say, not many cigars on the planet share the space with the Blue. Jason

Great write-up and pic. I just noticed that is the cigar in my avatar lol. I agree with @jazzboypro about The Dukes. It has a larger ring gauge than my normal preference, but it is delightful in that cigar. In case you weren't aware, La Imperiosa is the same blend as the legendary 2014 Las Calaveras. Those blends are not supposed to be reproduced, but it was demanded in this case. Peace, Jason

I've had one and am waiting another 30-60 days for the next one. The Brulee Blue is amazing and the Wagashi is excellent. Waiting for my next one to truly decide. On first impression, the Wagashi had a bit more grit. Lots of complexity but I didn't find the pure creamy deliciousness of the Blue. I'm hoping a little more time will soften the edges. Kind of vague on the differences but I'll add more after the next one. Jason

Looking forward to these. Dunbarton Sobremesa Brûlée Wagashi.

Saka Krakatoa.

Crowned Heads La Vereda No. 54. This is an amazing smoke.

Got a box of each of these. Giving them a few weeks in the humi before lighting. Jason
