I only like 1 Bourbon, 2 Irish and 5 Islay distilleries. Started drinking & smoking in 1977 so I know what I like! Semper Fi

Like the FH 660 as well, got a FH 554 tried it and thought, it's okay, didn't smoke that great and was hard to keep lit, got soft through the smoke. Had another in the humidor, dry boxed it for about 8-10 days, cut it and lit it up, game changer, it was Fantastic!!! 🎉

We have the same taste I love those cigars also,Melanio, pensado, Bolivar and especially the Don Carlos my absolute favorites. And when I want to treat myself, the God of fire-Carlito is my goto. Love your videos, you keep it real no fancy tasting flavors like some others do. I’ve been smoking for about 2 years on an everyday basis and very rarely have I picked up any of those flavors, the only time was when I first smoked the Padron 64 natural, I picked up a faint flavor of Cocoa.

Cuban cigars can be quite complex and nuanced, offering a broader spectrum of flavors than many New World cigars, though they tend to be milder. As a result, their flavors may seem muted if your palate has become accustomed to stronger, bolder tastes

You had recommended the Alec Bradley Prensado in a previous video a short while ago, so I went out to a few of my local cigar shops in search of it with no luck. Then I went into a local Binny's liquor store and asked the guy in the cigar room about it. He said that they didn't sell them individually, but they were included in a Alec Bradley sampler pack they had, which was a steal for the price, so I bought one of those the other day. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but looking forward to it. Although I like trying different cigars, my go-to is the La Gloria Cubana "Series R" Maduro cigar. It's like smoking chocolate French Silk Pie! So good!

Prensado is a great choice. The Honduran tobacco gives it that spicy kick and the Nicaraguan tobacco really rounds it out. You're right about the Cubans, a lot of hype and since the Chinese have bought S.A. Habanos, the prices are absolutely ridiculous. Rumor has it, demand for Cuban cigars has been so high, that the Cubans are just buying tobacco on the open market and making cigars out of it. There are some very good Cuban-esque NW cigars and one of them is a staple of mine (it's actually Cuban seed Crollo I think) but Padron thousand series. The 1964 is excellent as well. I also love Tatuaje cigars. A recent find of mine has also been Warped cigars, specifically isla del Crocodillo.
