Ending my hiatus by celebrating my birthday today with something truly special. Presenting, the 2020 Opus ❌ Heaven & Earth Purple Rain from Fuente’s Aged Selection. This is one of most flavorful and complex experiences I have had the privilege of enjoying 🙏🏻😮‍💨 **rs

The Andalusian Bull from **rs 🐂🐂🐂 this phenomenal yet slightly unusual looking cigar was difficult to find and I was excited to try it. An Ecuadorian Corojo Wrapper and robust blend of Dominican Binder and Fillers presents a bold and creamy smoke with notes of leathers and wood was well received, with some spice and subtle sweetness coming through that continued developing into the second and final third. I enjoyed it, however I think I will let the others rest a bit and revisit it to see if it earns a spot on my favorites list. Sensational experience nevertheless and I highly recommend it to anyone that can get their hands on one!!! **rs **rs **rs **rs

🔥FUENTE FRIDAY🔥OPUS X DESTINO AL SIGLO OSCURO🔥 **rs

Today, we enjoyed the elusive Hemingway Signature Oscuro Sungrown from Arturo Fuente, the timeless Hemingway Binder and Filler Blend have been ordained in an absolutely stunning Ecuador Oscuro Wrapper. This wrapper provides the blend with much more chocolate and coffee notes over the standard Hemingway Maduro. The cigar burned nice and sharp throughout, and had a nice thick smoke. And as always with any Hemingway Blends, draw opens up after the tip and the reward is huge. Absolutely incredible. **rs **rs

The Chapter 1 from **rs is a powerhouse smoke. Slow burning and robust; this uniquely chisel-shaped cigar flaunts a stunning thick, oily, coffee-bean colored Brazilian Ligero Maduro wrapper. Concealing inside, a flavor-packed blend of Dominican Tobaccos bound together by a dark Connecticut Broadleaf. This cigar has strong notes of coffee, wood, and earth, with a peppery finish and strong pepper on retrohale. A great pair with a strong coffee, and highly recommended after a meal. **rs

🩷Arturo Fuente RAЯE PINK Happy Ending🩷 Inspired by the Toymakers daughter; with a portion of proceeds benefiting Breast Cancer Research, and presented in a gorgeous pink box (the color to breast cancer awareness). This beautifully made perfecto shows off an Ecuadorian Wrapper tightly rolled around a Rare Estate-Grown Blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican Leaf. This was an exquisite smoke and comes highly recommended. Flavor was that of a fuller bodied and slightly more robust Hemingway, but i found it to be much more enjoyable. Grab these while you can!!! **rs **rs

The famous Noblesse from La Aroma de Cuba. This limited edition release presents itself flaunting its incredible Mexican San Andres Oscuro leaf, while coating Don Pepin’s blend of Nicaraguan Cuban-seed to***co. Bringing with it notes of leather, coffee, spiced fruit and a little wood. An absolute must have. **rs 💨 **rs

Here we have a cigar that I’d recommend to both the seasoned aficionado, as well as novices of the leaf. The San Cristobal Revelation by and . Reportedly featuring a variant of the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper found on the Ashton VSG, with a complex Nicaraguan Blend by Pepin Garcia on the inside. The result is a cigar that can be enjoyed by all. An approachable medium profile, presenting notes of leather, cedar, and earth; with spice at the forefront of the retro-hale. A fantastic and smooth smoke that will become a staple in my humidor.

Fortunate enough to receive this from the **rs rep Toni that worked tonight’s event. The new Montecristo M; made in Nicaragua by **rs, this Ecuadorian Connecticut Wrapper is reported to be 20 years old, draped over a milder Nicaraguan Binder and Filler blend that really lets the wrapper shine. With subtle hints of leather, wood, the experience is warm and welcoming with a nutty creamy finish on the exhale. Absolutely a winning collaboration between these cigar makers. **rs
