Earthquake on the Reservation!!!

[Tonto]

Glad it made it there in one piece!

Some info about a few of the sticks -

From the left- the two with the gold leaf diamonds are Cavalier Geneve - originally conceived of and released in Switzerland, now available all over.  It is a small boutique brand that I feel shows some blending that yields good complexity.  Both very solid IMHO.

Don't let the kooky looking band of the Street Tacos Barbacoa cigar fool you...  that is from Noel Rojas, who is somebody that people should be keeping their eye on for sure.  He is responsible for some fantastic cigars.  Definitely check out his other lines too.  Like me, he has a love for thinner ring gauge cigars, so much so that he has a line called KSG - King of Small Gauges.  (I know that this is a robusto, but I think it is a great representation of the blend.)

The Inca, though a larger RG, is interesting.  It is a cigar made with 100% Peruvian tobacco.  MO from C.Gars Ltd was responsible for this brand, so it has some clout behind it.  (It may be showing my age, but I remember MO from back in the A.S.C newsgroup days.)  This cigar has many years of age - I cracked a fresh box that was buried deep lol.

That Singulare is also super well-aged.

The Los Statos is an old pre-1960s brand that was discontinued in 2005 or so.    They are machine made - they are old enough that they are pretty grassy and vegetal to my palate, but definitely something interesting to try.  Te packaging is pretty cool - the bundles are packed into a foil pouch that is then packed into a box.  I'll attach a pic of what the packaging looks like.  I still have a majority of the box left.

And you know about J.O.  That was from a more recent batch - they are at a good spot to smoke right now imho.



Hope you enjoy!!!

Thank you for the info on the cigars Bill!

I remember seeing the Street Tacos Barbacoa cigar band before (I think it was a review somewhere) & I wanted to try it, but couldn't find it at the time.  While I will smoke almost any RG, I also prefer the smaller RG cigars.  Their short corona looks perfect.  I'll have to keeo an eye out for Noel Rojas & find some sources.

That J.O. will have to wait a little...I want some nice weather outside (no heater needed), so I can sit & enjoy that cigar!

I look forward to enjoying them all.

Thank you for the info on the cigars Bill!
