Haven't seen this post in a while so let's see what everyone is getting.
My only problem is I just can't post pictures because I'm as dumb as a rock with the computer. I ask the Admin's if someone else could post the pics and there was no response. I asked because of the monthly point system. I'm not complaining just can't show what I'm smoking or purchasing. I know their are 4 or 5 Geeks that I split and or purchase from so I'm legit with everything. Here's what arrived via mail Friday from the West coast:

Blackbird Cigar Co. Minnesota Fats (Privada CC Exclusive) (4.5 x 58, DR)
That one was a monthly selection from PCC last month and the blend notes that came with it say it has Cuban tobacco in it. Don't know how that's possible, but that's the claim... :?:

I did see the write up on the paperwork they send with their cigars, I get my COTM really late in the month from Privada, this is the Sept. offering (I do believe).
Wrapper: Cubra Brazil
Binder: Indonesian
Fillers: Pennsylvania Ligero, Corojo Viso, Cuban Criollo 98 Viso & Cuban Criollo 98 Seco
I do believe the Cuban Criollo 98 Viso & Cuban Criollo 98 Seco are cuban seeds grown in different countries soil
From https://wholeleaftobacco.com/product/criollo-98-seco/
Criollo 98 Seco: This earthy tobacco leaf can serve as your primary cigar filler by itself, or it can be fortified with a portion of any of our viso or ligero offerings. Grown in the Dominican Republic in 2015. This tobacco burns well and has a medium brown color.
5 pk of these, arrived while away from a fellow Geek brother:
Casa Fernández Reserva Maduro (6"x52)
And a La Aurora Corojo Robusto (5 x 50, DR) hitch hiker!!!

FWIW, I emailed Brian and asked if "Cuban" in the notes was a typo and he replied and said it wasn't and then hinted an explanation would be coming soon. In my experience, "Habano" is used to describe Cuban-seed tobacco and "Cuban" means exactly that. But we shall see....
Point well taken Todd. LMK what Brian says on this issue if you would be so kind.
Picked up these from a great retailer out of Scottsdale Arizona

Welcome back. I do like those Punch Gran Puros from time to time.
I've enjoyed the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Reserva Maximo.
Ahhhhhhhhh someone just doubled the bid on the Santa Rita's....still a good buy...so trying to decide if I still want to go after them....I see a possibility with the Padilla Artemis...so possibly a box of those instead (or maybe in addition if I decide to still go after the Santa Rita's)
Good to be back Pete...
Missed out on the Punch's but made sure he over paid for them....lol

How were they Neal? Always liked the Southern Draw blends. Lancero's can be difficult sometimes, but can be a very tasty size.
