How were the flavours? I've got a Power of a Dream baking away and will smoke it later this year, see if it tops a recent flawless and tasty Robusto as the best AF of my year.

Then why are you here?
Do you need a pat on the back and someone to tell you "good job!"?

Not necessarily directing this at Dave who might very well be a super guy and maybe was sad he wasn’t puffing on anything, but a funny thing about the internet:

Do you ever notice for example on Amazon Q&A, people that respond “I don’t know, I down own the product”.

Or like Dave here, responding to a question that wasn’t asked of him necessarily. Who are these people? Do they think they’ve been summoned by the gods to answer any and all questions? Is it narcissism?

Anyway I’m puffing on this

I really don't know. Since this is primarily a thread for those who are cigar enthusiasts, I cannot fathom why a non-smoker needs to weigh in as to when they quit. These cigars are enjoyed for pleasure, unlike cigarettes which are just a nicotine delivery device for those addicted to it.

Great for those lucky bastardos who don't live in a country that charges more to bring them in than the cigars cost themselves.

I think I’m addicted to the pleasure.

We in America get Cubans easier than many other countries. Surely less taxed (no tax), and thanks to Geneva vendors a point and click and the friendly post man drops the box in your mailbox or front porch.

Truth just can’t buy at local shop. Or get at a lounge.

Nice construction on this 2018 CoRo. Flavours still a bit young.

A lovely ERDM DT, flavours were of warm dough and shortbread, the aroma was like a bakery by the end, really really nice.
