What's your latest NC purchase?

[Toasty]

Olivia Série V Melanio Gran Reserva Limitada. 
box of ten. A delicious cigar.

[Islandboy]

It was high time I got myself a real lighter recently. I blame the cigars on the tiered Father’s Day discount.

Some Tatuaje Black Cuban Coronas

Top five for me.

[Bri Fi]

@ElLoboLoco had one a couple weeks ago. Fantastic. Like the petit lancero as well but the corona gorda wins.

I think they are the pick of the black line, agreed. The Jibaro’s are neck and neck. Although they are the most un Tat like imo.

I am a fanboy of Petes blends.

@Lomey Just had one of these Tat's last week and I can see how it is your go to NC. 

@nKostyan Just happens that the same week I had one of these same Oliva's and between the two I'm not sure which one was better, they were both very nice!

I liked it, a rich blend for NC: wood, black pepper, rye bread, fried sunflower seeds, cream, salt. In my opinion, a good morning cigar with a cup of cappuccino for 40 minutes...

A Warped La Colmena single and a Illusione Singulare Kadosh single.  Haven't smoked the La Colmena yet,  but will be buying more of the Kadosh, twas excellent.

[ElLoboLoco]

Smells like chocolate goodness.

No pic but Casa Cuba by Fuente and Encore by Carrillo. The Casa Cuba’s are delicious, coffee with cream, honey, and cinnamon. Box worthy for me.

[nubase]

Just picked up these San Cristobal Elegancia Churchill's to hold us over while the CC's take a nice long nap. Also grabbed some loose ones that I'll post later. These look nice, can't wait to fire one up and confirm.

Awesome Awesome smokes the Casa Cuba's are.  Cinnamon, nutmeg and black cherry for me.

Grabbed a box of lanceros from Herrera Esteli. I'm not sure if the typical blend lends itself well to a lancero or they have tweaked the blend for this edition, but it is a stunner. Recommend giving it a shot

[nubase]

So technically not my latest purchase, but my brother's since we share a cabinet. I typically buy the CC's while he explores the rest of the world. Here is the latest haul, minus a few that had to be burned in tribute. 

Oliva Nub Cameroon, Rocky Patel Vintage 99 Connecticut

The Nub Cameroon's burned well and performed as expected, but the RP's really surprised us with a good long and even smoke. Very pleasant.

I buy a sampler from a large USA online cigar shop. It is 3 padron 1926 serie 2, 3 Ashton VSG, 3 La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor,  and 3 AF Hemingway Maduro for under $120. At $10 a stick I use this to wait out the resting period on my Cubans as I am still building enough in the humidor so that they are all at least 30-60 days resting (international shipping delays are making it abnormally hard since I can’t really time it out when boxes arrive anywhere between 8 days and never). 

[KCCubano]

Rarely smoke NC but after seeing my Orthopedic surgeon Friday I visited local B&M.  Picked up 2 Padron Principe, Opus X Belicoso XXX and Liga Privada Corona Viva. Just killing time waiting for my take out BBQ. I hear they are all pretty decent. I started out smoking CC and know very little about NC

I’ve very much enjoyed every Opus X I’ve had. The complexity rivals most CCs and they age extraordinary well. The best examples I’ve had have been 5+ years aged since purchase.

Definitely been on a bit of an NC purchase kick. I like the Liga Unico line, but have not had the chance to try these yet. I've heard good things, to say the least

[Bri Fi]

@StogieSteve23 those tattoos are very affordable and worth the $5 whenever I buy them. I let one rest in my humi for about a year and it was the sweetest cigar I’ve ever had. Like sugar sweet. Congrats on the rest of the pickups

Thanks Bri.  They're an excellent smoke for the price and always consistent no doubt.

A little haul from my local B&M yesterday.  Mostly Tat and a few Fuentes.  Had already smoked one of the TAA's and MSB's before taking this picture.

Last couple of shipments

Not a bad pick up. I like these a lot. Had a Serie V lancero last night and it was a touch harsh. Good but not great.
