Been a minute since I've posted on the forum. Big life changes. Decided to leave the once great city of Chicago for the greaner pastures of Northwest Arkansas. Finally getting settled here and had time for a nice ETP May 16 No. 4 today. 

If any of y'all are in Northwest Arkansas, hit me up and we can grab a stick at One Eyed Jacks or Cigar District.

NWA has grown a lot since I graduated from University of Arkansas. Its almost recession proof with Walmart, JB Hunt and Tyson Chicken. I try to make it down there from KC every year for a sporting event or to float and fish an Ozark stream. Used to be a couple active members from Springdale on here .

First Hup Mag 54. Thanks @williamthewolf. It was darn good. Flavors started out very crisp and pointed with some hints of white pepper before quickly developing into a delicious middle third reminiscent of some Hup CM tubos and HUP HC's from 2016 that I've been smoking with much enjoyment. Rich, creamy, very tasty, with some leather, nougat, short bread and just the right amount of thoughtful mineral-ness on the finish that made me smack my lips. The sharper finish contrasted and transitioned nicely with the transition back into the deeper HUP flavors of the subsequent puff.

The only downfall of this cigar was the last 1/4 to 1/3rd which had some combustion issues similar to those I have experienced in similar sizes like the MC PE, or RyJ PC. 8.5/10! I'd smoke it again gladly.

I really like HU Magnum 54. I also think it’s a underrated cigar for some reason. The blend is great, the draw is good and the smoke time in on spot. Just waiting for green light in U.S to start grabbing some boxes in 24:24.

Recent delivery of nudie lonsdales made me want to explore some long n skinny smokes. The first long n skinny that I remember changing my perspective on cigars was the Hedley Grange Drumstick by Crowned Heads. I smoked that back 10ish years ago and I was amazed at how the flavors transitioned and returned as I smoked down the stick. That was impressive and enjoyable to me. This was the first time I smoked this size Atabey. It was a beautiful cigar. It looked so good it made me want to smoke it. Construction was still good/great despite a "empty tunnel" that appeared for a bit and even despite one relight. I give some leeway for one relight on a long smoke like this, especially since it didn't effect the flavor on relight. However, the flavor was a one-note bummer. Not only did it smack of paper and "too light" woody flavors, but it was kind of boring. On two or three puffs there was inklings of potential to develop into an HUP thick luxurious flavor profile ... But it never developed. Just papery light wood the whoooooole way through. Finished this long smoke in the hot tub in hopes that it would improve mental interpretation of the cigar, but to no avail. Smoke time was appropriately long, I didn't time this one. To the cigars credit, the flavor never fell off in the latter part or got bitter. But, flavor can't really fall off of anything if never climbed anything to begin with. I will continue to sample some more of the selected tobacco stuff. It's too pretty and too well made not to try. And I have several blends that remain unexplored. 7.5/8 out of 10.

Lovely evening and great pairing to boot

Tried this one for the first time as I continue to explore NC world. Outstanding construction and good cigar overall, including a beautiful wrapper to which so many bands make no justice.
Not up my alley in terms of flavor, don’t think I’m repeating. So far from Plasencia Reserva cosecha is the one I liked most.
