Tonight was a CAO Italia, nice smoke, still liked the Brazilia better which will be a permanent fixture in the rotation. But Overall Good Cigar, Tonight was a relaxing night so I didn't try to pick up on alot of the tastes just enjoyed a good Cigar and the mild weather that's Slowly creeping in here in East Tennessee. Won't be long until nights get cool, then how will I smoke, Quite distressing but I'll enjoy it for now and figure the rest out later.
The first quarter had some harshness to it, past that...it got better and better, i was pretty happy with it. Reminded me of a Romeo Juliet 1876, medium..woodsy flavor.
I had myself a Gran Habano #5 Corojo gran robusto this afternoon... a treat for a job well done at work today, if you will. It was quite nice, a touch below excellent, but given some more rest I think it will be very good. I got a flavor I don't often get, a light cherry flavor was detected somewhere near the middle. Now if you know me, you'd know I like cherries...and the fruit ain't half bad either Hi-Oh!
I just had a 5 Vegas miami... DAMN fine cigar... I didn't even have a nub left when it was all over with... It was hard to hold on to without burning my fingers but I just couldn't get enough of that thing... That was an awesome smoke considering how cheap these can be had at times... Even now the taste left in my mouth is just making me wish it wasn't over!
Yesterday was a Nub Cameroon middle of the day and a Nestor Reserve Maduro last night.
This afternoon I enjoyed an Indian Tabac cameroon and for tonight I am trying to decide between a Padilla '48 and a Perdomo - either Sun Grown reserve or Habano Maduro.

buy a corn cob pipe and stuff that last little bit of it in there. smoke ALL of that thing.
Tonight was a 5 Vegas Miami robusto. This one was a considerably better experience than my first go-round with this cigar... though, in all fairness, I was so new to cigars when I had my first one that I didn't know any better than to smoke it hard and fast, so I ended up burning the tobacco and inhaling more than a little bit of smoke. I consider myself redeemed with the Miami tonight .
5 Vegas Classic...I think I pulled a joe, smoked it too fast and hard and ended up not enjoying it much (and a little lightheaded). It was OK, I was just in a hurry and didn't love it.
It was the Graycliff Legend last night, for me. This one was plugged, and even after some work with the paperclip, it was tough to get a good mouthful of smoke out of it.
Tonight I had one of the Nestor Reserve Maduro Torpedos that Urby sent me a while back. I've put this off for a while because I've been so excited about it, and I wanted to find the right night to enjoy it. Urby said this reminded him very much of the Onyx Reserve, and I have to completely agree. The flavor wasn't as subtle as a lot of maduros (I think this leave has some artificial darkening), with lots of dark chocolate and hints of coffee. In the middle, the coffee flavor really came out and reminded me a LOT of the Graycliff 1666. I think Scrambler would absolutely love this smoke. It carried very little body, but the smoke was cool and smooth. I am definitely glad I have more of these on hand, and I will look to share them with a good friend in the near future, either backpacking or when we head up to DC for the US vs. Cuba World Cup Qualifier. Thanks, Urby!

lol, I had that happen over the weekend when I was at a bbq with the family, my father really can smoke cigars quick and after his heckling I just had to keep up, but man did it do me in. Though I also think it was the crappy cigars he buys...
I got home a bit early, ok a lot early, from work today and with little else to do decided to spark up an early afternoon smoke. After a bit of digging, I came across a Greycliff Double Espresso and decided to give it another shot since I didn't love the first one. It was much better, perhaps it just needed a couple months to rest. I just finished up, or was fed up rather, with an El Mejor Emerald torpedo... I don't know about this one, I kinda liked it and kinda didn't, guess I'll have to wait and see what the rest of the 5-pack is like.
Nothing for me today... Was gonna watch the Godfather with the Misses... but she fell asleep right as Don Corleone got gunned down with the oranges... so I tucked her in and now I'm on the forum... (With beer of course)
I'm in Austin, Tx and picked up a couple of locally rolled cigars from a shop on 6th st. A cameroon maduro that was excellent and a corojo that was pretty good too.
