I'll just agree with what you and kuzi and maddy have already said on the Nub Habano and Cameroon. If the Cameroon didn't exist, I'd probably keep some Habanos around for short smokes.
Do you consider over an hour a short smoke? Just curious.
the nubs are a huge ring guage but they are short. im know that they have the same amout of tobacco as "larger" sizes but i find that a cigar that is 5 inches long lasts me about 1 hour 15-20 min no matter what the ring. now, i still havent had the nub (ill get there) but but i cant imagine that it would last much more than 50- 60 min for me.
The Nub that I smoked the other night was a quick smoke also. About 40-45 minutes. And it got hot, it was odd. If it hadn't got hot I maybe had another 10 minutes smoke time on it but it was to harsh to continue.
Tonight was a Torano Casa Torano torpedo and a Hemingway Signature. The Torano was much milder than I thought it would and flavor wasn't much. Mediocre smoke. Hemingway was excellent as usual.
Sounds good, Lassy. Let us know. I think I'm gonna have this Nestor Plasencia that sdip sent me. I've been making myself not smoke it ever since it arrived.
Cohiba Siglo III tonight. Box date AUG 2007. Smooth, flawles wrapper, with flavors of honey, tea, with a short, graham cracker finish. Somewhat tight draw, but this is still a young cigar. Paired well with the Havana Club rum.
Glad you enjoyed. Cigar Affc supposedly rated it a 93
Sdip, I never go by what CA says. I have seen some of the most one sided reviews come from that mag. I heard throught the grapevine that the more advertising money you give them, the better the rating you will receive. Heard this from a few companies.
My theory is smoke what you like, and don't worry about what everyone else is smoking.
Just cracked the seal on a box of Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.1, box date SXF MAR05.
Nice cigar, somewhat tight draw, but definitely ready to smoke. Notes of honey, cedar and leather, but not much depth. Finish is lasting. I know since I opened this box, it is not going to last long! I usually don't drink carbonated beverages with cigars, but I had a full glass of Maker's Mark and Coke Zero from dinner so I thought what the heck. Not a good combo with this particular cigar, IMHO. Would have been better off with straight MM.
Had a DPG Blue this afternoon.Nice smoke, not as spicy as other DPG's I have smoked. Tonight was a Gurkha Centurion after going to see Jimmy Buffet. Excellent smoke with a flavor consistently through that I couldn't place.
Tonight is a La Flor Dominicana "Reserva Especial" El Jocko Natural.... I'm half in the bag after going to a bar to watch a live Swing dance band, so not much review headed your way, but a good cigar none-the-less
Tonight I smoked a Rocky Patel Fusion Double Maduro toro and it was simply the best maduro I have ever smoked. Lots of smoke, perfect draw and a fantastic balance of spice and chocolate flavors. Wow!

It's been awhile since I smoked NC's, I am just trying to get back into the newer releases.
