My father in law absolutely loved it and was raving about it for a while.
 

For me; the construction and feel of the cigar were amazing. Wrapper fantastic. Great flavor overall. But I did not go beyond “this is a good cigar”. I have another couple I bought so let’s see on the next attempt. 
 

have you had stunning examples as others in the forum?

Am thankful that Charleston missed the wrath of Idalia this aftenoon/evening, and in respect of news reports to date of her challenges to others, I'm hopeful many can say the same.  

Decided to light a wonderful NC after a stressful day.  I'm hoping that all are spared the challenges, and -- in any event -- can enjoy some respite with a good cigar. 

ps:  Just went across to a friends house:  Water was crazy high, though thankfully lower than their entry.  This has always been the Low Country but it seems a good bit lower now -- and we didn't even have a real hit this time.

Haven’t had one of these in a while. Last from the box and I am glad I have another box resting. BOP DIC 17

Attempting to refine my palate and see which one I prefer. Both chateau Fuentes, natural vs maduro.  Both different but head to head, the differences really stand out!  Like both for different reasons, not sure if I can choose a definite winner. Maybe I just need to buy a box and see how they age!  Need to get a sungrown too and see how it stacks up

Sungrown was always the one that won me over. Sungrown cuban beli is still a favorite

I have yet to smoke one. I have some singles. They smell and look amazing. I figure I'll try one in a few months to guage.

I always enjoy more cigars around and (hopefully) following an escape from a weather event.  ...So, lit up a Coloniales bought some years back as a single, said to be MSE Mar 2012.  In hindsight, I wish I'd let it age for several more years, as it was all power and lacked the transitions hoped for.  Nice and full flavors, but less than expected; maybe best to have experienced before price increases changed expectations...
