Spada Gorda from the Thanksgiving comp. It's good to be grateful

Some singles from the cigar bar

The RP 1600 Sig Series is a stunner.  A Fuente favorite.

My Black Friday week NC haul. I am trying to focus on creamy flavors. It’s my winter quest for the cream!

The Foundation Senetjer. Possibly my favorite presentation thus far of any cigar.

Gotta say that's been the most innovative packing and branding of a cigar I've seen in my lifetime.

Arrived Yesterday. My Father Bijou Churchill.

Had one and really enjoyed it - can see why you like 'em

Apologies for the poor pic, didn't want to take them out of the sampler cello. I'd say I'm in the NC big leagues now. 😛

A 10-count of Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art singles...

After smelling the Ninfas, I almost canceled the split I offered.

Good thing other stuff was on the doorstep

[Cigar-Therapy]

I placed an order for Ninfas, Spada Gordas, and Canonazo VI. They all arrived today.

My top drawer in the humidor is getting full!

Would love to hear how these taste and how they differ from the usual Brule Blue

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.

Christmas came early!

[Grimlock]

Cigar budget blown thanks to end of the year deals. Was able to get at least 20% off everything except the Opus 20th.

Hard to follow the last post but I did get some Anejo Sharks!

I am really tempted to buy a box of these and the maduro version. How do they smoke? 

Let me start off by stating that my appreciation of the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art can be construed as biased. I have to admit that. However, in general, of the many AF Hemingway Work of Art cigars I've smoked in the last year and a bit, they pretty much start off with sweet in the first third and then settle into a mild cedar/hay/spice combination lasting around one and three-quarter hours on average. I find them very satisfying, but as I said, I'm biased.

I'm curious when your next one will be in 1 month or going for more like 6 months?

I have to boxes of the brûlée blue and am curious how these are I've heard mixed reviews and many saying it isn't sweet smooth and creamy like the blue, that it maybe shouldn't even be in the class and its a big disappointment (Which I find hard to believe or don't want to haha), but I've also heard great things so far seems 50/50 which is surprising to me coming from DT&T.

Picked up these at local B&M. 30 cigars in each box, $10 and $11 a stick (after 15% discount). A. Fuente.

Nudie splits have arrived!

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.
