Had a 5 Vegas Miami knuckle this afternoon. Not bad, but I think I like the robusto and toro more. Tonight was a Gurkha Master Select torpedo. First one and it was excellent -very tasty.
I had a Padilla Achilles Torpedo. Not a bad stick. Very good quality. Nice white smoke, great draw, even burn, and very little after taste. My bocce team was 0-3 tonight so I doubt I will bring another one of those again. Would buy again if they went on special. It was one of those cigars that I would not write home about, but have zero complaints.
On a whim, I had a 5 Vegas Classic torpedo that has been sitting behind as a part of a sampler pack I received a few months ago. I recently got the 90 rated sampler here at ccom, so I got another one of them - and decided it was time to smoke one. I lit up while doing yard work - and let me tell you, I was shocked at how refreshing it was! Kinda like I don't drink light beer, but on a hot summer day, it sure is hard to beat a Shiner Light. Well, 5 Vegas Classic has a special place for me now - the perfect smoke for when you aren't relaxing. Ha!
Just had a La Aurora Barrel Aged Robusto. I normally love these, and while the flavor was good on this one, the draw was much tighter than I am used to. It kept almost going out on me, and I had to pull so hard on it it kinda ruined the flavor. First one I have had like this, I'll chalk it up to a bad stick.

The one I had had a pretty tight draw too, but my humidity goes up and down like a roller coaster.
Just finished up a Conuco i got in a sampler. For all the negative stuff surrounding this RP blend, its not too bad. Nothing to do backflips over but not bad. Tasted kind of like a cross between a REO and a Honduran Classic.
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.
Just smoked a Relic, and it hit me with a little more oompf than I remember the Cask Strength having. I need to smoke the two of them closer together in time to really tell. By the way, the Relic is a damn good smoke, but I think a little age will make it even better. I'm not sure if I prefer it to the CS, but its close. Again, I need to smoke these two closer together.
Just got back from the B&M and smoked an ITC 10th Anniversary. What a finger burnin good smoke! Started off with a pepery kick and mellowed out into a really nice smooth woody flavor. Rocky did a really good job with this one!

That's one fine smoke. One of my favorites. They come in 2nds. also that are the same as the 1st to me. Tonight I'm smoking a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet. Also one great smoke.
Nothing Monday but today was a DE Java Maduro robusto....very relaxing and just the right mix of tobacco and 'Java" flavor. Stopped by a small B&M close to work and they are re stocking finally. Owner says big order of Rocky Patels be there in about 3 weeks including Nordings which I'm excited to try...
All the chatter about Sol Cubanos had me pull out a Cuban Cabinet robusto today. Glad I did, hadn't had one for some time and it was great. Finished off the night w a Fuente Curlyhead corona. Kind of blah.

Well, of course the Fuente was blah. You had the Sol Cubano first. A curly head can't compete strengthwise with Cuban Cabinet. It's like a women getting, well you know...
