Perdomo Patriarch tonight. Decent smoke, burned good and draw was perfect, though it seemed a little underfilled as it felt squishy and was difficult to cut as a result. I thought at first that it might have been too humid, but the lack of any burn issues at all makes me think otherwise. Oh well, good smoke nonetheless.
Just got done with a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Churchill. Excellent burn and draw, tons of smoke. Flavor was pretty decent, and developed alot as I smoked it down, hitting a really nice spot about 3-4 inches in, but I prefer the double Maduro.
I had a Decade last night. Not as good as the first one I had but still nice and tasty. Got a bunch left. Maybe 7 or 8. Not sure when I got it. I ordered some from Tim back in September/October but I also got a few from a B&M months before that. I didn't seperate them because I didn't have room.
Just finished an El Mejor Espresso. I loved it, I am going to have to smoke a MX2 and one of these in the same day to determine which I prefer, it is that good. Started off just okay, but less than an inch in, it really picked up and continued to get smoother and better the rest of the smoke. I smoked it down until it was burning my fingers, definately one of the best sticks I have had in a while.
I broke my Gurkha streak for a day to go with old reliable .. Bauza. Once again, Great in every way. This one had 18 months on it. Age only makes these better and better.
Have a bunch, wish I knew. Could have thrown a couple in your pack. Assume you have tried the 5 Vegas A - think that is better than just about all the maduros I have tried.
I'm smoking an Oliva V Torp in the comfort of my new place. Our sun porch will become my new smoking abode, and tonight it's getting it's christening experience. I have an exhaust fan running in a window and a space heater pumping out some warmer air. I'm sitting on an old fold out chair with my laptop on my knees. Couldn't ask for much more tonight!

Is that what they're calling strippers these days? Creative
I had a Cusano 18 paired maduro.
I didn't really care for it. Lacks a bit in the flavor department - the main flavor I was getting was the flavor of burnt toast.
I might try another one though. Maybe I just got a bad one out of the box.
Smoked a 5 Vegas Miami that I just got. It was ok. I think that it was to moist. It started to get better at the end but I was not impressed. I've got 4 more to age and see how they evolve.
Had me a gurkha turk, a very creamy smoke with an okay aroma and mild flavor. some coffee like hints, some chocolate, and some other goodness which my limited tasted detected. For a cigar in the gurkha line that isn't really $$$ I was both surprised and lucky as I will be getting more. I compare it to a 5 vegas Gold. Though maybe better, I would need to smoke them back to back and several to really say that but it is damn good. I do think the vegas gold had a better aroma. That made my work van smell like vanilla!!
I sent you no Playboy, Maddy, but I have raved about them a few times on here... I've only ever sent you one stick. The Gurkha G5 Avenger. It was a stowaway in A Pass Deux. What size was the Playboy? I really enjoyed the toro. The robusto seemed a little more bland. They're fairly mild, but oh-so-tasty. Tastes like a long-filler version of the ccom Cuban Cabinet.
Heh ... I assumed it came from you but I just checked the spreadsheet it was actually from a guy on another forum. My bad. Still a very good stogie.
I burned a Vegas Gold and must say i really enjoyed it from start to finish, It was a really relaxing evening on the patio with a good smoke and watching deer feeding out in a corn field behind our house.
Nothing for me in the last few days... It's pretty cool out in the evenings and raining like crazy here so I'm READY for the weekend! Supposed to be back up in the 70s with sunny skies!
