I just finished up a Perdomo habano conni, Freaking wow, what a great cigar. I had the 6x60 and talk about a cool, nutty-toasty, mellow smoke. I really want to try the maduro now. I totally recommend this cigar.
Had a 5 Vegas Cask Strength 2 this morning. Awesome, awesome stick. I think is my favorite 5 Vegas so far. I then had an El Mejor Emerald at lunch, always a good go-to. I am eyeing a RP Edge for after dinner, I have been itching to try it.

I too thought the cask strength was a great cigar. Have you had the Relic? Which one had more of a kick, that is if you had the relic. I thought the cask was a bit heavier.
Had a La Flor Dominicana this afternoon, then this evening I lit up one of my last CAO MX2's. Went through a box of these pretty quick.
Getting a box of Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic's next week - definitely one of my favorites.
Had a Carlos Toraño Casa Toraño toro this afternoon, a pleasant mild-medium bodied cigar, very nice flavors going on. Later was an ITC 10th second toro from alien, this was really good too, I haven't had one since October and I really liked it then.
Well I didn't get to smoke last night but I'll probably need to tonight since this my post number 1000 for me! haha Gotta do something to celebrate, just not sure what I'll fire up yet...
Had a Gurkha Nepalese Warrior yesterday. It was stronger than I remember. Near the last inch and a half I started getting an amonia taste but that was the only down side. Good cigar that I ave a bunch more of.
Well I won't be smoking anything for about a week, had two back teeth taken out this morning.. but I can still surf the web. Nice thing is I get a 4 day weekend, though no smoking which does suck.
ITC maduro...probably the worst smoke I've ever had. It developed a few splits and I just could get a draw on this sucker...no idea if it would have tasted good or not.
I had a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet #4 today, fresh out of the box from ccom. It was good, pretty much what I've come to expect of a SC CC, though a tad harsh...6 months will do it well. Don't know if I'll have another tonight, it's kinda windy and chilly.
I had a smoorgasboard of cigars today since I was on the road all day. I started the day with a 5 Vegas Gold Double Nickel and then I went to an Edge Lite toro. After a break I lit up a 5 Vegas Classic torpedo. One my return trip i had a 5 Vegas Serie A Alpha. I stopped at a B&M that I discovered a couple weeks ago and had a Camacho Triple Maduro 11/18 and then to make sure I stayed awake while I drove in the dark I had a Camacho Diploma. Thats the most cigars I've had in one day and I'm suprised how well my palate handled it. I was able to taste the nuances of each stick. So that was my day. CK
Smoking this three days out of a B&M. I am thoroughly enjoying thiis smoke, Its the robusto sixe wiht a Cameroon wrapper and Hond ran binder and wrapper. Now I will tell, I am full body Pepin style Nicarugan fan. I am a rookie, so Icant begin to pick out alll the nuaces(sp), but I get a bitter sweet bite to it that I find enjoyable, and seems to mellow out about half way through. the core taste reminds me or punch but more subtle. While only two thirds into this, I am quite convinced I must purchase a box of these immediately!!!
Man, it has been a busy smoking day. Started off this morning with one of my favorites, a Vigilante Maduro Robusto. Followed that up with a ITC 10th Anniversary Second, another of my favorites. Later in the afternoon, I had a 5 Vegas Gold and some Glenfiddich 12 Year with some friends. Then rounding the evening off, I had a Casa Torano. Awesome day filled with awesome smokes. Can't get much better than that.
A Camacho 1962 Robusto.. I have not had many Camachos, but this one won me over. Nice medium bodied smoke with a pleasant woody. leather flavor, with just a hint of spice. The burn could not have been better. Great draw, Very pleasant cigar.
Went out and had another ITC 10th Anniversary this morning. This was another one that I had trouble understanding why it was a "second". It did have a slightly heavy vein on the wrapper leaf, nowhere near heavy enough to effect the burn however. The deal on the seconds is awesome, I really don't ever see myself buying any firsts of these, or any of the other seconds offered if they are all as goos quality as these are.
RP fusion torpedo...um, um good. Ok, I must have a humi problem because the wrapper on this guy was falling apart in my fingers. But it still tasted awesome, lots of woody, nutty, toasty flavors...just what I love. Have to get the humi working properly and get another one, cause the wrapper issue was definitely annoying.
Yesterday was a Gurkha Centurion to start with. Could not really describe a lot of the flavors but suffice it to say I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. A very good smoke with ample flavor. Second smoke of the day I enjoyed as I sat in my open garage door and watched the lightning/thunderstorms show for about an hour. This one was a Camacho 1962 perfecto compliments I believe of bbc (Brandon). What an awsome smoke. Construction,draw and burn were top notch. I am starting to think about a box purchase (although I'm not sure where I would put them, maybe another tupperdor). I smoked that one down to the point it actually burned my fingers it was that good. Today nothing as I worked around the house and took care of errands and so forth. Sunday I'll chill, smoke 2-3 if all goes as planned. Watch some of the NFL draft ,grill steaks, hit the hot tub and I'm sure there will be some drinking involved. Cheers .....:)
Started out with a 601 Black toro - probably in my top two or three connecicut wrappers. Next up was a Blue Label corona. Just ok, but I am liking this size smoke more and more. Finished up with an Alec Bradley Ovation(from Joz), first one for me and was a pretty good smoke
I wonder about the La Aurora 1495 seconds ...anyone had those yet? The 1495 is an awsome smoke and I'm always keeping these on hand. Wish someone would find some 1495/1994's stashed in a warehouse somewhere and offer 'em up....well its nice to dream...
Had a Montecristo this afternoon, then this evening I had a Carlos Torano Exodus Silver.
Last night I had a fantastic cigar - Tempus by Alec Bradley. If you haven't tried it yet - don't pass it by. It's awesome.
Today's my birthday, so I broke out the God of Fire that I've had resting since january. It was good, but not $26 good. I'm not sure why they are so stinking expensive! I've had better smokes that are much cheaper.
