Burned a 5 Vegas Relic after work tonight. After reading through the forums a bit I honestly was expecting to be disappointed, but I enjoyed it. Burn was a bit uneven and it required a few re-touches. Wrapper got a bit flaky at the head. Both could be due to construction or maybe I dry-boxed it a bit too long (36 hours), but all-in-all I didn't think it was as bad as it's made out to be. Nice thick smoke with what my newb palate perceived as an overall leather/earthy taste. Definitely enjoyed this more than the LPH Grand Pearl I had recently.
Started an Espinosa Habano robusto. Getting a hernia trying to smoke it, so pitched it in the huckleberry bushes.
Fired a Cubao Maduro robusto that is not drawing well, but is smokable. And tastes good.
