Tried the Oscar Leaf Sumatra based upon a comment in this thread. Very good and smooth. I’m of the opinion that the last third of a cigar is where it really tells you what it is. This one really became smooth.

Ive always had issues with tunneling, burning out, or falling apart on me with Rocky Patel cigars. The only ones I didn't have issues with were the Mexican San Andreas Prohibition cigars and the Gary Sheffield cigars. I really enjoyed those two and wanted to enjoy the others. Just don't want to risk wasting money on them anymore tho.
 
So a question for the in crowd... I haven't been paying attention but has San Luis Rey been discontinued? I'm gonna cry if they have... The Regios is/was probably my most favorite CC. Say it ain't so!
 
I hear ya; I'm happy with my Oliva Series V Melanios...

Was looking at some Upmann's today though....
I have 1-2 a year, I don't need any more expensive hobbies haha.

Sometimes I'll go to a local shop just to walk around and smell the pipe tobacco in the air and walk through the humidor.

Damn pipe tobacco smells good.

I'll say it, never impressed with the Opus'. I sat on some for three years, heard they really shine around that point. Meh. Give me a nice Padron or Partagas No 4.
Do I still have some in the humidor? Yes.....
Which opus’s do you have? I find that’s just run of the mill opus that are released around this time every year need a lot more time to ferment and age. Sticks like the forbidden or lost city’s with a date on the band tend to be ready sooner when you scoop them up.
