I had a La Flor Dominicana Limitado III that I swiped from A Pass Deux, by way of Jozer. This thing was an amazing powerhouse with incredible stamina. I think I've found that my favorite drink/cigar combo is a Diet Coke with anything that has an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Odd. Next up would be a porter with a maduro, or a Tom Collins paired with a Cameroon. I think I have weird tastes. Anyway, back to the cigar. It ranged from smooth and creamy to spicy, and varied this theme repeatedly. It had a full-bodied start and finish, but seemed to mellow in the middle. I consider that pretty ideal as well. I wish I could find more of these. I've updated my "Favorite sticks" list.
Not sure. I'm still trying to figure out how many *** there are in a Brazilian.
Last night was a Camacho 1962 Churchill. First time for this size; I think the torpedoes are a bit more flavorful but this was still a nice relaxing smoke with no issues. Still trying to decide what's on the menu for tonight.
Today i had a 5 Vegas Miami. its been sitting in my humi for about 2 months and I was stoked to finally smoke it. What a disappointment. It had too tight of a draw, and a canoeing problem.I got a headache from trying to smoke it. I hope this was just a bad one because i did notice that it had a really nice oily wrapper. Maybe just my bad luck.
L'aroma de cuba that i got from cotmc...I liked this a lot. Nice cedary flavor, draw was kind of dry and loose and there was some slight burn issues. But all and all, a very nice smoke.
1 hour and 20 minutes in the hot tub, a gurkha ancient warrior ( about a robusto size) reduced to ashes and a couple of tumblers of tortuga and this work week is in the history books. very relaxed right now....certainly enjoyed the ancient warrior. cannot tell you why, was more interested in just unwinding than trying to discern flavours but this is one i would buy again, noticing a certain gurkha profile flavor in the few i 've had....which i like. cheers guys ...
Today was a good cigar day, cleared a lot of pages from the book I'm reading. Started off early with an El Rey Del Mundo choix supreme, which is quite a tasty medium bodied treat. In the evening I had a Tatuaje Cojonu 2003, which was pretty good, build from medium-full to full bodied over the course of its 6 inch length, a darn tasty cigar. Given the pretty mild weather tonight, I went out for yet another, an Oliva Serie V double robusto which is, as I've mentioned, probably my favorite size yet...Good flavor, near perfect draw and just the right amount of oomph, me likey, muy muy.
Had a gurkha titan that's been sitting for 6 months. about 3.5 inches left the thing went out on me. I was a little baffled as I was getting plenty of smoke then it went out. very strange. I like the titans but I don't think they are worth the price.
had an uber reliable ccom brazilian today. Have never been disappoiinted in this cigar. In fact, it's one of a handful i've had that i always find myself wanting more of right away. tout de suite.
Had a CAO Gold this morning and a nice, very large,. CAO MX2 after dinner. I'm not sure what size the MX2 was but it was bigger than a Robusto. Honestly, I think the Robusto has more flavor.
Had a Perdomo ESV '91 second today while I started a new book. This one was more dense than usual, felt heavy in the hand and made for a tighter draw than usual, though usually the draw is pretty loose, so this was almost perfect, in addition I'm tempted to say it had more flavor, perhaps due to more tobacco. Fired up a Padron 3000 a bit later, I don't think I need to say anything about this one, awesome cigar.
Placed a nice order today. Two Ashton VSG 1999 Rounds, 3 each of the Oliva Series G Cameroon and Maduro torpedos, 3 each of the Series O Natural and Maduro torpedos, 3 Series V Torpedos and 2 100 Anos Belicosos. I'm over my March budget but it's not another $400 and up month so I'll be ok.

sounds like a sweet order...
Oh, I added 3 of the CAO CX2 Toros. I hear that they aren't going to be offered anymore by most shops. Wanted to try them before they are gone. Plus, I would rather give my business to ccom than another place I don't know or that doesn't offer the same level of customer service.
