Padron 80th. Somewhat disappointed. Not worth it for me. 

JL1 great retrohale but a bit mild. Maybe my tastebuds are off tonight.

Monte Edmundo LGB MAY 20… brilliant smoke. Cocoa and graham crackers. Cream. I think @Elpresidente described these as ovaltine recently and this is a good description of this one tonight!

One of my favorite full bodies smokes. From the original release. Where the heck is this guy these days?

HR by Hirochi Robaina. The band looks familiar because Hirochi adapted his grandfather's Vegas Robaina band to launch a Non-Cuban cigar in 2014. The brand ran into legal trouble over distribution. Hirochi has since returned to Cuba, I believe. Also, I don't think these are around anymore.

I thought it may have been Hirochi. There is one vendor out there that carries a lot of his lines.

Of course, you're right. I meant more specifically that the original line of four cigars that was blended purposefully to be full-bodied is no longer available. I think this original release is what @Lamboinee has acquired, perhaps?

Nowadays, yes...the brand has three lines; HR Blue, HR Claro (or White) and HR Signature.

I’ve needed the perfecdraw on maybe 5 of the 15 or so I’ve smoked but I really like the flavor on these, seems I’m in the minority on the forum as far as I can see with the search bar

Very nice - I've got one left.  I wish I had a crateful.

This cigar is/was one of the few highlights of the last year.  Luckily, there's one left

Punta de Mita, north of puerto Vallarta. We’re staying in a tiny but spectacular hotel called Hotel Basalto with a rooftop pool and bar. Only 10 rooms, hard to beat!
