@rjake100 and I enjoyed our first of the 2023 Nudie Lanceros today.  Very, very enjoyable.  Delicious start and first and second thirds, especially.  Its youth only showed once, in a very short bump around the transition from the 2nd to the 3rd/3rds.   Interestingly, it happened for both of our cigars at almost the exact same time and point.  (Curious if anyone else sensed that.)  

The other curious thing was the observance of very small bumps, both on the wrapper and, eventually, within the ash, which may show better in the second pic.  Again, flavors were just wonderful, so bumps-or no-bumps it is a VG cigar, IMO, showing even better promise for the future.  I had just never noticed those small "bump" characteristics on a cigar before; just curious.  

Looking fwd to revisiting these in another month.

2021 Rosado Nudie this evening. Fantastic!

Agreed!  I’m surprised at how well these have evolved with time — smoking beautifully now.  For my palate, I’ve never enjoyed NCs as much as CCs (in general) but these ‘21 Rosado Lanceros have become delicious.  Rob has said the new ‘23 Lanceros are even a level better — very much looking forward to them with a year down.

NC today. 2000 series 702. Davidoff makes some acceptable smokes for those with CC preferences. This is dark fruit and brioche and doesn't give me that tar nicotine load on my tongue like strong NCs.

Didn’t want to start a new thread - but have a quick question.

Had a Padron 1964 last night at a cigar bar with friends in Tampa. I don’t smoke a lot of NC’s but have enjoyed the Padron Anniversary line in the past.

This cigar was a total wind tunnel, the foot was firm but somehow started to peel and the cigar was completely bitter. I quit halfway through.

What causes bitterness in a cigar? It was really unenjoyable.

Usually it's caused by an under-filled cigar. It can be tough to smoke through when you encounter it, yes.

With Padron, even though they are rolled to be slightly loose in draw, they are noted for their consistency in flavour delivery and construction so it's a shame this occurred for you.

It's also important to note padron anniversaries always have a loose draw. I could see how someone might mistake it for a wind tunnel if they are used to taking big tugs. Padron's need to be basically kissed and you will have plenty of smoke to indulge.
