Preparing for the Tatuaje dinner this weekend, lit a Triunfador (Original) Lancero -- this from a Collection box identified as Oct 2022, kindly gifted from a friend.  (Still available in the U.S. if you search, for what it's worth.)

The first and second 3rds were outstanding, though there were signs of its youth.  Beautiful start with cocoa nibs and baking spices as the main flavors followed by citrus notes and, on occasion, mint; retros were incredible and nutty in the 2nd third.  The last third showed more youth, with a little bitterness ...But it was the best Tatuaje I've had since an aged Pork Chop.  (I'll be seeking more of these to age, and will keep them with CC's at a lower RH%.) 

(...Nevertheless, followed with a Sig. I just for a little of the twang I love 

Beautiful Ashtray.  Can you please tell me where did you get it?

No worries Gamehawker, though I'm afraid my answer won't be too helpful.  It was my parents ashtray from the 1950's (the last time they smoked), and back in the day when ashtrays were part of what you had in the living room.   (I'm guessing they bought it in NYC, as they lived there at that time.) ...So, it was a hand-me-down from before I was born, kept simply because I thought it was pretty (before I'd gotten back into cigars this past decade).  

Sorry not to have a more helpful reply, ...though if you look on Craigslist, I have seen some other fun looking ones from back then.  Hope that's helpful, and all the best,

Pics of a couple of standouts...

Punch Punch jar and a Tatuaje 15th Anniversary (which Pete said was modeled after Siglo VI)

Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of a third standout (also from the Tatuaje event), but it answered my earlier question about the El Triunfador Lancero OR:  I was gifted and thoroughly enjoyed a 2008 original OR at that same event.  Wow did it evolve wonderfully over time.  ...So much so, I've since picked up a box new OR's to hold for some years.  It was that "Wow" ...and just $9 each(?!?)

Remember these? @Luca, ever since cigarmageddon in mid-2022, that's just like distant memories. You know, come to think of it, sometimes I feel like Saito in the Christopher Nolan's 'Inception'...a few days here and there seem like 50 years in limbo!

My parents had similar style ashtrays from 60s.

This was a mess. Just spice, bitter, and acrid. I smoked half and tossed the second half while walking the dog. Trying to find a a substitute for my Parti Shorts as a dog walking cigar, these aren't it.

While not a replacement for Parti Shorts, the only inexpensive, petite NC that I've truly enjoyed are the Davidoff Primero Maduros, in case that's worth a try.  ...All depends how long your walk is   (Short Story can be nice too, though they need a little age IMO, ...unless they're the Angels Share S/S, which are almost too good to be "dog walkers.")

Thank you very much for your information.  I think it is wonderful that it is from your parents.

Oily and rich.

The aroma emanating from the box was exquisite, my fellow brother.

The overall smoke production was quite impressive as well.

Construction was superb. Gorgeous wrapper.

Smooth transitions throughout. Draw was impeccable with just the right amount of resistance.

Starts off fairly mild and gradually builds with nice complexity.

Very promising for such a young cigar.
