I don't remember barnyard out of the padrons either. But other than the 6000 I had the other day its been probably a year, I do remember a swift kick in the pants from most.
Nothing tonight - it's pouring outside and the thunder is rattling the windows. I've been working the overnight hours; last night it was a 5 Vegas Miami torpedo on the ride home from work at 3AM, finishing it up on the front porch.
hey all, i am new to cigars and cigar.com. so thought i would say hi and i just finished a Macanudo corona i got at the local smoke shop. i started moking cigars about a week ago and am loving it. they are very relaxing and flavorful, if you get a good one. i remember trying cheap ones in high school and it was a huge turn off. but now that i tried some cohibas and this macanudo i think i might be hooked.

I settled down with a Gurkha Warlord tonight. I wasn't as wowed with it as when I first tried the line, perhaps its a maturing taste. It was good, just not as good as I remember.
For me it was a CAO CX2 toro. Great construction with a real oily wrapper. I spent the first half trying to decide if I liked it and the second half deciding I liked it a lot. Must try for you cameroon lovers.

Did it smoke surprisingly fast, Joe?
Nah, not really. I had my fill after about 5 1/2 inches and it took me 90 minutes for that. So, I'd say it burned a bit faster than normal, but not surprisingly so. Maybe you got a looser roll on yours... I made sure to pick the one that felt most like a dud for you.
Could just be a degree of variance from one stick to the next. Mine also had a firm draw and I recall you saying your draw was fairly loose. How was your wrapper? Mine had so many problems, cracking all over the place.
Once I started smoking, all the weak points in the wrapper were exacerbated, cracks became more prevalent, and loose spots began to flake away. They have delicate wrappers, the one I grabbed was a little too delicate I guess, perhaps a bit under humidified as well, it has been quite hot and dry these past few months and its been wreaking havoc with my humidity.
Which Nubs did you order? I like the Cameroon quite a bit. Just ordered a few more, in fact. I was less impressed with the Habano and Connecticut. Haven't had the I-Press.
