This starts out as a decent cigar. Then towards the middle it get's fruity almost like raisins. Good stuff. I like it when they change, or when I can start to taste the change later in the cigar.
Wow is this thing terrible. Uneven burn, won't stay lit. Smoking like a mother. Wife says it smells bad to her and she's enjoyed the aroma of some of the other smokes. Could be the fact that I'm a neophyte, but I haven't had a problem this bad with any other cigar.

Whoa there professor! Stop using big words... take that trash to the Cigar Aficionado forums!
I had a La Aurora Cameroon 1495 Corona this afternoon and it was quite tasty. Good smoke. Tonight was a 5 Vegas Gold - solid and consistent as usual. Only complaint was it burned a little hot toward the bottom third.
I've only had one La Aurora, and I thought it was pretty bad as well. Tonight, for me, was a Fuente 8-5-8. Had to see what all the buzz was about this size. Excellent cigar, and a great size to be sure, but not worth wetting my pants over. The aroma was good, although sullied a bit by the aromatic aftereffects of my wife's BBQ beef dinner.
The S is on my "to try" list and I'll probably pick up a couple the next time I order something from ccom whenever that is. Right now I'm sitting on an Oliva Master Blends III, and I'm gonna fire that one up pretty soon and see how that grabs me.
I had a 5 Vegas Gold toro for a mid-afternoon smoke, not bad, not bad at all. I like a good mild smoke, and this one delivered enough flavor and body to keep from being boring as opposed to the purple label which almost put me to sleep.
Last Night was a Padilla Habano, very nice cigar, even flavor, not a whole lot going on with it, but then again, still developing the pallate. Tonight was the 5 vegas Limitada, It was okay, I wasn't too impressed, but overall a good smoke.
Capped off the night with an Oliva Master Blends III robusto. And what a robust cigar it was, I'm still a bit light-headed from it. Aside from a wrapper issue (my fault for making a cut in the dark) it was a very nice cigar, perhaps a bit pricey for an everyday smoke, but a nice one to revisit in the future.
I just had a Sancho Panza Double Maduro that is about one week out of the Fresh Box I just bought. Started great and just a good flavor, not much complexity but VERY GOOD. Then about the last third it got very harsh and acidic... with some time these may be Friggin' Awesome!!!
