In the middle of smoking a Gurkha Legend Perfecto... Completely different from the Legend churchill I had just a couple weeks ago... Quite a testament to just how much shape can affect a cigar. One thing that's surprising is that I've had to do ZERO corrective burns so far... Obviously well made... Taste wise I gotta say I found the churchill less complex, but more to my tastes...
Ahh, while we are on the subject of the Gurkhas...I think I am going to fire up the Beast tonight...if it's not absolutely pouring outside. It has been a long week. Haha.
Had a LFD DL Chisel Gordo last night and it would have been a great smoke if it didn't have such bad burn issues. I had to re-light 3 times and touch up at least 5 times. Maybe it was just a bum smoke.
my first gurkha titan...man, I've had jobs that have lasted less time than this thing. Fortunately, it was great. drank some sam adams oktoberfest (which I learned is actually held in sept) and smoked the hell out of this thing. Burned great, great draw, great flavors, although they didn't seem to me to change that much throughout.
Had a CAO America Landmark tonight... I'm thinking it probably lasted longer than Luko's titan.. LOL... Was a great smoke, but it had pockets of barnyard that popped up... Not a little barnyard, a LOT of barnyard... Goats, cows, pigs, horses, mules... You name it, it was in there... To the point of being very distracting and almost ruining an otherwise terrific smoke... The first time it happened it was a little unexpected and caught me by surprise... Still overall it was a decent smoke...
Tonight was a Rocky Patel 2008 Summer toro, a very enjoyable cigar if I do say so myself. One of the things I really like about RP cigars is how well they are constructed, I left this one on its own for better than 5 minutes while I attended to something, and when I came back it took one puff to get it going, not to mention the burn is always razor sharp. Right next to flavor, construction is my biggest nitpick with cigars, and thus far RP's have been the most solid on the construction front. I wish I had bought more than 2 now.
I've been sick, so it's been a full week since my last smoke. I wanted to light up something a bit more exotic, but I'm out seeing a friends band play, so I can't really focus on the smoke. I went with a reliable standby, the 5 Vegas Classic Torpedo paired with an Abita Amber or six.
Yesterday had a Tatuaje Reserve SW on my way down to the football game. It felt pretty strong while smoking it, and I stumbled a little as I got out of the car. People must have thought I was tailgating early. It was a fantastic smoke that had a lot of pepper and nut flavors. I would definitely recommend if you can pick up some.
Well last night I had my first Perdoma Habano and WOW! Great flavor and a very full bodied smoke. I've heard a lot of good things about this cigar and was not dissapointed at all!
tonight i had a gurkha legend compliments of zoom this is my first gurkha ever i enjoyed it very much it was everything i thought it would be and more i cant wait to try more gurkha cigars!
