Maestro del Tiempo tonight. Spicy start but thankfully calms down quickly. Then not much going on. I mean it's ok. Just pretty inoffensive. There is a finish to it though.

Sorry to hear it wasn't as successful as the Le Monde.   I know what you mean.  I had high hopes for them, but they definitely didn't set my heart aflame.  I enjoyed the meandering walnuty flavour of them,  but apart from maybe seeking out a Clementes Fume de Amor, my interest in Warped as a brand has lessened.

Thanks for the chance to try! I'd likely have never stumbled in that direction with the plethora of availability in the NC multi-verse! I think part of the disappointment is from the 3 mentions of Criollo and Corojo in the description. Early days educating my heavily tainted palate still.

Shame. I have never had Warped cigars and they seem like members' fav NCs in the forum.

I'll add I think this is somewhat understandable. Partly given my journey through NC has been generally below par. This was OK. But perhaps my expectations are just often wrong/misdirected. I had had a Petit Royales, 2023, the day before. And although fresh. It did have a lot more intensity and quite a bit going on!

Fume d'Amour is Illusione which, as a brand, is one of my favorites.

This El Laguito Media Luna is so nice.  It has all of those great gingerbread, donut, bakery flavors that people associate with Trinidad.

My mistake, thanks for the correction. Warped and Illusione were first on my list of NCs to give a try, and now I'm constantly mixing the various lines up in my head between those two brands.

I am just getting into Corojo and Criollo. haha.  I have only been smoking mostly Padrons and Fuentes in the NC world until Tatuaje Verocu Blue blew me away.  I bet the price of NCs are still insance in London due to their tobacco tax, right? 

Expand  

A Tatuaje brand cigar will cost from about £20. The lesser known and value brands can be a lot cheaper than that, say from £10 for a PC or PR size. But, a darn sight cheaper than CC on the whole!

Didn’t do a great job in the travel case.

Decided to try this myself, after hearing good things about this stick.

Definitely no rush, as one can expect it to become a phenomenal cigar with age.

Yesterday’s Media Luna was such a tease, I needed to break out an Esmeralda today.
