Happy Monday, folks!  

For the first time in a long time, I’ll be stateside for the spring!  And since it’s right around the corner, I’m doubly curious what you’ve been waiting to fire up in your humidor during an extra chilly winter.

What are YOU excited to smoke as we thaw out from the winter? 

Log in and comment for a chance to win a Small Batch gift card this Sunday! 

Myself, I’m particularly curious about new cigars that I’ve not been able to smoke while I was away. Cigars that I felt quite good about while making the purchase but have never been tested by the Court of Ash.   

I snapped up the Daughters of the Wind ponies as soon as I saw them available on the site, and they might be the one box I’m looking forward to working through the most in this category. Bespoke has treated me exceptionally well in the last few months, and I have extremely high hopes for these ponies since the other DotW reboots I’ve tried hit all the right notes. 

I’m also extremely pumped to try JRE’s Aladino Reserva.  Diving into the family ties of that brand really gave me an itch to smoke JRE that I’ve been waiting for good weather to scratch.  As odd as it sounds, I’ve yet to try Aladino even though they continue to receive high praise from the community in recent years.  

In the cigars I’ve already become acquainted with category, I’m not-so-patiently-waiting to smoke another Aganorsa Leaf Signature Selection.  Tomorrow might just be the day now that I’m home, and I can’t think of a better cigar to pair with a High West Double Rye old-fashioned.

And in the Unicorn category, an amazing friend sent a Warped La Colmena Unico Especial a little while back that is begging for my undivided attention in the spring.  He’s one of the most generous folks I know with his time and cigars and I can’t wait to thank him again with after it’s gone.
