Just finished an Onyx Reserve, man I like those. Its been a while since I had one, I had almost forgotten how good they were. My buddy was smoking a Java Latte and let me try it a couple of times throughout the smoke. Gotta say the Maduros (Java) are considerably better with the Javas.
Not a bad day. Started with an Oliveros with my morning coffee, very nice, my first one. Then couldnt decide what to have to i lit a RP 90, always a good smoke. Tonight....i dunno, thinking Carlos Torano Virtuoso or Camacho Triple Maduro.
Haven't had the Triple Maduro, but the virtuoso is really good. I need to get some more of those.
Had a Rocky Patel American Market this morning, very good smoke. I followed that up with a RP Honduran this afternoon, another great stick. I really dig these small-production RP's so far. Still have the Conuco, Cruz Real, and Nicarao to try.
I was greeted at work today by an employee who stopped at the B&M on his way in this afternoon just to buy me a cigar. It is a Romeo y Julieta Cedro No.2, It is the first of this brand for me and I must say that it is quite a good smoke.
Had a Fonseca Cedar while my two buddies had a Gran Habano and a Punch. Boy did I pick the wrong stick. Grassy and bitter tasting, and I'd swear I could still taste the ammonia, even though I've had that stick going on 4 months now.
smoking a 5 Vegas Cask Strength II. First time for me and it is a very pleasant smoke so far. Med-full IMO but I'm picking up some floral notes that were there even pre-light. Very nice.
Just got home from the in-laws doin' the whole mothers day thing (MY moms long passed) getting ready to fire something up just can't decide what yet...
I had a Padilla 1932 Friday night and it was ok. I think it was a little strong for my tastes. I got a second one that I will wait a while before I smoke.
Last night was a two cigar night. I started with a Padilla 1942 which I really liked. So far this is the only Padilla that I liked. My second cigar was a La Aurora 100 Anos Torpedo. They tasted similar. When I finished the Padilla, I put it down and left it in the ash tray. The 100 Anos was getting real soft and mushy the last inch - inch and a half so I had to put it down and I picked up what was left of the Padilla and smoked more and it just continued where it left off. I have one more of those so I'll have to get more sometime in the future. To be fair to the other Padillas have had, I only had one of each like the 68, Miami, Obsidian, etc... I do have more lying around and after I feel they are aged enough I will give them another go. They have about 4 months of age so far so in another couple of months I'll try again. So far, nothing tonight and it may stay that way. If I do get out, it will be that Gurkha Castle Hall from Phoebes.
I think I'll be having another one of my Oliva G maduro's again tonight. I don't have a very large spread of cigars to choose from quite yet but at least I found something relatively inexpensive to smoke that I really enjoy.
AHHHH ...a Ashton VSG ...What an awsome smoke...I LOVE these ...just finished it up...got a tv program I've been wanting to see and then about 9:00 ish I'think I'll light up again ...damn what an enjoyable day and I'm not even anybodys mom LOL ...

Hang around here long enough 'moose and that will change ...

That's what I'm worried about!
I just got a box and I'm already looking into more cigars. Can't let a bigger humidor go to waste I suppose...
Started out w a Puros Indios Reserva Maxima. Construction sucks, but I do like these. Next up was DPG Vegas - great cigar, not as spicy as his others. Followed this w a CCom Brazilian torpedo. Thing self-destructed - too bad. Ended the night w a Cusano Xclsivo Diadema- love these things.
Started off the evening with the 601 Reserva Double Robusto. I was pumped about this cigar. I love maduros and was lookng forward to the ring size of this one. I was highly disappointed however. It was rolled too tight and I had to throw it away. Grabbed a 5 Vegas Limitada, and though the draw was nice, I had some burn issues and the flavor was average at best. Not a great cigar night tonight.
Just finished a Maxx Traditional. Not bad, pretty good flavor, but had some serious burn issues and in the last inch and a half it started tunneling worse than any cigar I have had yet.
I pullled out one of the Ghurka Titan II's from the daily deal a few months ago, but...damn, the draw on it was like trying to use a straw on a frozen dairy queen malt. I kept trying to unplug it as i got about a quarter through, but it was a miserable experience, and i ended up destroying it trying to open up the draw. Boy was i angry......HOWEVER...to calm myself down..i pulled out a centurian, and my anger level within 2 minutes went from a 9/10 to 2/10. I was then again happy and all was right with the world.
I lit up a Camacho Select earlier, and got this horrible vomit taste. I tried to burn through it to see if would change, but I could not get past that horrible flavor. Has anyone else had this happen with one of these? I got a 5-pack, so I'm going to give it another shot sometime later, it had to have just been a bad stick, there is no way anyone would make a cigar taste like that on purpose.
To get the taste out of my mouth, I smoked a Padilla '68, like the others I've had, this one was excellent.
Yech, alien I hope that never happens to me. Never had that happen.
I went ahead and enjoyed my Hemingway Short Story. Keyword being enjoyed, nice little smoke. Leaves a fantastic aftertaste as well. I'm looking forward to firing up a 5 Vegas Relic tomorrow, which was sent to me by Rob early on in my cigar career. Has about a month in the humi, I'm pretty excited to get to this one.
I had a good night Saturday. Started with a Don Pepin Cuban Classic robusto, next had an Oliva O Dbl Toro, then topped it off with a RP Olde World Maduro also in the robusto size. All good smokes but the Olde World and the DPG were the best. I'm a big fan of most of the Oliva line, but the O is MUCH better in the Maduro. The G and V are better than the O as well. Probably going to smoke again tonight, but not sure what I'll have. Might have the Gurkha Park Ave... Really not sure yet.

Holy crap Tony - hope thats not the ones they send out in the blackband project !!!
Too rainy to smoke anything here at work maybe when I get home tonight the weather will be better 40 miles away there !!! That brings something to mind anyone else work a long ways from home and drive everyday?
In the middle of a Nub Connie, the thing's a pretty good stick. In general, I smoke a lot more heavy cigars, and I try to avoid milder smokes, but this has opened up the possibilities for me. Not at all bad so far.
smoked my first acid today while mowing the lawn, a kuba kuba. I know many people are not fans of aromatic cigars but for a nice breezy summer day, this thing was great. Once the pool opens up i plan on enjoying many afternoons lounging with a nice beer and an acid, after I buy cigar.com's sampler which appears to be a great deal.
I think later tonight I will have my last oliva serie v to polish off a busy but productive day.

I love the V. Not a bad stick after a busy day either.
I'm smoking a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet that I got in a deal from ccom. Wonderful smoke. I'm glad I have another one.
