I'm thinking black market. Great smoke but it's not so high end you will be sad you smoked it already

If I were reaching into that humidor this very minute, my hand would go for the Illusione. Can't say why, just feel like it would.

i would choose illusion, my father, black market
-
It's too hard, I can't do it!!!
-
Go with the Mi Amor
-
I can never say no to Epernay...
-
that mac looks tasty
-
cohiba
-
in that situation i will almost always go with the mild selection first.
i dont wanna accidentally age that one too much....
doesnt really make sense in the grand scheme of things. -
I agree. The Black Market is one that, IMHO is great ROTT. I say this because I've had a few of the others fresh and with age and I would take the AB fresh over the others, and I don't know how much time the others have had in your humi.xIcedGuardianx:I'm thinking black market.

I just got my humidor about 2 weeks ago... most of my cigars have either had 2 weeks or less than a week in the humidor. I am fairly new to having my own cigars - I've smoked a lot before, but they were always a friend's or a single purchase from a B&M. I am just starting my collection. Maybe I will do the black market tonight. It's super cold out, and I will be by a fire with some scotch, so it'll either be BM or I am going with the Camacho.OchoZacho:

Black Market jumped off the page when I saw it. I like those a lot

That's where mine would go.Ken Light:If I were reaching into that humidor this very minute, my hand would go for the Illusione. Can't say why, just feel like it would. -
La Aroma. Pepin + Ashton = can't go wrong.

I ended up smoking the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor. Here is what I said about it in another thread:
I just smoked a La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor - started off as a decent cigar, ended as a fantastic smoke. I smoked it till I couldn't hold it any longer, and the feeling after the smoke was wonderful. Great flavor through and through, and the constrction was one of the best I've seen in a long time. I highly recommend it. After I smoked it, I finished off a bottle of George T Stagg with my brother.... I am now drunk. True story.
Just be ready for a "different" kind of smoke. We both commented on how "dry" the smoke was for the first 1/3d, but then it really opened up into something incredibly flavorful and unique. I keep my cigars at 70%, so the "dryness" wasn't from it being physically dry, but rather, the smoke was not "chewy" or "creamy." I would recommend this cigar with coffee, or even a rich meal - the flavors are incredibly and I feel like pairing it well with something makes it shine. We were drinking Hot Toddies at first, and the dryness of the cinnamon in the drink was too similar to the smoke. But like I said, once we got a ways into it, we were both constantly commenting on how great it tasted and how well it was burning. I usually go for thick, chewy, creamy maduros, but this was a pleasant change. Would I make it my every day? no. But I most certainly will have it in my humi for those days when I am craving it. Great cigar.
