    Probably '19, '17, '18 the '20 is still pretty fresh but I think that will slot into the 2 spot eventually.

    But I might wait to buy a fiver if I had an outstanding MAW. That's just me, you do you

    Sorry I missed this entire thread up to now, thanks for the tag Ryan.

    Hi Matt will be happy to help. I can tell you some things, probably a lot of personal preference here though.

    I have had almost all except the Master and Pupil (need to get my hands on these but they never seem to be in stock at smallbatch). I really like Archetype as a whole because I am a sucker for Nicaraguan fillers which almost their entire line is except their medium bodied cigars. Since I am maduro/oscuro/ full bodied guy most of their line falls in my wheelhouse.

    Dawn of Destiny and Sacred Scales are box worthy for me, can't tell you why exactly as they are not maduro but def best of their lines for me with both pretty equal to me.

    Axis Mundi close third, the Maduro wrapper and Habano Nicaragua filler are really good here. Strange passage is good but multi-country blend as the filler is not my thing, no idea why.

    The Fantasy series are great medium smoke, not box worthy for me but you should def try them as a fiver or such to see if those are your thing. I think they were going for a more widely liked setup there for those not into some of their other lines. Also two of which are connie wrappers and to light for me, and as much as @DogRockets tries to get me to like all things broadleaf they are not my thing either.

    With that said take all those notes and what ever your go to profile is apply it here even if it is opposite of me. Also shameless plug that was unasked is that I am a Diesel whore, try all of them lol.

    Thoughts on these two and the Cornelius & Anthony brand in general?
