25 box of my favorite mille fleurs. These are a bit darker and rougher than my previous badge. Also the caps are not as neat as my previous. The boxcode and date are non existent on the back, just a little ink which is not readable. To some at that price point it might not matter, to me it does. My previous badge was all '18, I think I'll put these away a little longer before touching.

Stocked up on some 19 Fundys...love that ARS Trini run 💥

[Hammer Smokin']

now that is a wrapper!

I get that the 19/20/21 stock from Cuba is great, but I don't love how all the wrappers might as well be maduro. 

those look sweet!

I’m not often envious, but yes I am at this.

Going to give these a bit of rest before I see what all the fuss is about.

Came home from vacation to find this on my kitchen table.  Out of many boxes of Media Lunas that I have bought, this was the first (1st through 6th, actually) to have the EL box code.  I wasn't even aware that they were rolled there.

Sweet haul! Laguito Trinis are something special.

All of the newest Trini releases have now seen a (very short) LG production run. Esmeralda, Media Luna , Topes . Plus Vigia is rolled there occasionally too. I wish Fundys were!

Soooo, like six months gonna be good chief? 😁 Bond Roberts might see a partial box of LGC MdO4 (TUA MAR 21) available in 2025…

Some 24:24 arrivals from the last couple of weeks. Thanks, FoH!

Really?  

I guess I'm going hunting for some MAR Esmeraldas.

Store came back to me, according to them their present badge is all ATP ABR 19.

What's the box code?  I have a box of absolutely heinous LMB SEP 18's.  Not harsh, just bitter...sooo bitter.

Beautiful looking cigars, John.  

Have you ever contrasted them to aged Cohiba Espendidos in the same sitting?  Different sizes of course.  But I found a recent comparison (shared with a friend) really interesting.  It may have been my samples (or storage), but the differences in draw (to me) were a marked contrast, affecting (for me) the perceived flavors.  It was hard to pick a winner, but they struck me as remarkably different.

I can't say I have had an aged Cohiba Esplendidos and Trinidad Fundadores in the same sitting, no. I'd agree that they'd be different.

[Glass Half Full]

It was the first time I'd noticed the difference in draw (both good, thought the Fundi was easier ...though not better) to be such a contributor to the experience of flavours

 

Who knew the Esplendidos would come up tonight ?!?   I've found those to be hard to come by. 

[Trapper99]

A 3x5 of Esplendidos from another source (legitimate of course). AMP ENE 20

When did Cohiba start making Esplendidos Maduro😕 (pictured with a box of awesome MAR Espys). First box of cigars I ever opened disappointed. Maduro like wrappers with dark chocolate/black mottling.

Wow. Those are the nicest wrappers I have seen on the recent production, most have looked pretty rough.
