What's your latest NC purchase?

[Cigar Salute]

Purchased a couple of Atabey Brujos (Robusto) to see what all the hype was about...Foregoing all the nonsense about them being a "Stealth Cuban"...Not bad, but not a $30 stick either IMHO...Box-wise, my last purchase was a 10 count box of "Hit & Run" Corona Gorda.  This cigar is a collaboration between Room 101 & Caldwell.  Excellent Boutique smoke, Mild-medium, very floral and bright.  A mineral-almost graphite taste...Reminds me a bit of a young QDO 50...I don't buy or smoke much NC these days, but I'm always willing to smoke one that's not trying to murder me with spice.

I bought another box of Opus X Petit Lanceros (my NC of choice), and a box of Davidoff Ambasadrice, as well as a box of LFD Mueso from an auction.

These arrived today. No vendor in the states sells these. Had to get them from across the pond.

Nice selection! I really the Paul Garmirian Anniversary collections and reserva exclusiva, have not yet tried the Soirée though. Saw the 30th anniversary came out recently, would like to give that a shot too.

Was thinking about picking up some of the Mil Dias as well, I have liked most of the Crowned Heads blends I have tried. Have you smoked one yet?

Thanks. They just came out .... I will rest a little and burn and report back. The people I know who smoked them said they were good but needed more time ...

Only 20 min from the PG shop. My fav of the PG is the 20th Anniv from 2010/2011. Their 2001 Maduro pretty good as well. I tried a couple samples of the 30th back in early spring. Thought they were good but still prefer the 20th.

I picked them up because I have yet to see a bad review. I'm very excited to try one!

I am about eight years late to the Illusione party,  I was going thru a strictly Cuban phase for  a good eight years. So, I am experiencing the older releases now!

Actually, same. I discovered them earlier this year and have not looked back. Great stuff. I recommend the HL, or the "Holy Lance" in natural. Really exceptional lancero, and the Haut 10, as well

The Haut 10 is on the list and now the HL, lol. Thanks!

I am switching back and forth between Illusione and the Foundation lines. I have not had a bad Foundation cigar but I will not smoke anything with CT Shade, broadleaf is a different matter.

That’s awesome looking congrats!!  

I’ve had some aged Opus that we’re absolutely brilliant.  Very cool purchase and that box is gorgeous!  Looks like a zebra or Koa wood or something.  Killer!

Thanks, I think the wood is called Macassar Ebony...

I’ve not had any luck with Opus. Not had one I like. I love Fuente for their mild/medium - Hemingway all day (which is funny, because almost everything else I like is more full flavored.) I liked Opus for the idea (first DR puro), but just don’t like the cigar.
