went with the RP decade...honestly, there hasnt been an RP that I didnt like, but this one didn't exactly wow me. Still a good smoke, I was expecting a little more flavor.
I spent a good amount of time at the B&M today. I had a San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol and the new Pepin-blended La Aroma de Cuba, not the Edicion Especial. LAdC has re-done the original blend and Pepin is making it.
Tonight I had my first 100 Anos and it was an amazing cigar! It was from the original batch rolled in 05 I believe and was one of the best smokes I've had in a long time. After that I tried the new Antano Dark Corojo which was a great full bodied smoke! I'm not sure if I would say it or the original blend are better because both are fantastic.

From some users here it seams like there are a bunch of Decades floating around that didnt quite get the great wrapper on them. Was it a darker or lighter wrapper?

It was a darker wrapper. Not as dark as the Gurkha Titian I had last night...that was a nice smoke...I thought it would be a nice hour smoke...not so much...a bottle of wine (shared with the lady friend) and 2 hours later it was burning my finger so I had to put it down.

Had my first Cubao early, it was a robusto. Damn good flavor, burn was a little uneven and needed some minor touch-ups, but nothing too bad. I'm glad I got a 5er of them, I'd hate to not have one or two of these on hand.

I was blown away the first time I had a Cubao. The taste was fantastic, and there was a lot of spice. I've noticed that the spice has decreased as they've aged though. It's still a great smoke, but if it's the spice that you liked then you should look into smoking them within the next few months. When you run out, you can always go for another fiver
Had a Gurkha Assassin at the b&m today with Redtailhawkoz, and that was good times. Wasn't a bad stick for the price...I'd smoke it again. Mostly tonight I've been blazing my new pipe, right now on my second bowl. Good stuff :-)
Last night I revisited the Gurkha Royal Brigade. This one was definitely better than the first, and the first wasn't bad. A few minor burn issues, but not annoying or anything. I may have to go back for more of these when the opportunity arises...

I have a couple of Cubaos coming my way in a DPG sampler I ordered from Ccom. Glad to hear that it's a good smoke.
I need to pick up a few more of these. I love the cammi's.....now the Maduro's just need to go up on the Daily Deal ;-)
I haven't had anything all week as I am getting home too late from work (2nd shift). Tomorrow though I will be meeting somebody out at a local B&M around noon for a pre-work smoke.

I've had a couple of the Cubao cigars and enjoyed them very much as well. I was in the local shop here the other day looking at the Cubao Maduro and think I'm going to have to try it out pretty soon.
having a Casa Magna Colorado Robusto that I've had since April 09....the first few from this batch were rough going. The draw was tight, they may have been over humidified at the shop I got them from. This one is quite nice. Draw is pretty free actually and is burning a bit wavy but not too bad. Heavy on the spice and bit of a peppery zing, but nice and flavorful. Definitely getting a grasp on the flavor profile of the colorado wrappers. I tried the Casa Magna Colorado Corona last week and decided to try this one out tonight. I think I like the corona a little bit more, not too surprising.

I liked the Cubao Maduro, it really does carry the sweetness of a maduro to that smoke. I still think I like the Cubao natural a little bit better. Both are great IMO.

Thanks for the info Brandon, I'll have to pick up a couple. I was looking at then the other day, but went with the JDN Dark Corojo instead. It was also a damn good smoke.

Paired well with my sprite.

What Vitola was the Decade?
