Well, I finished the I-Press tonight. Threw t away with over 2 inches left. I know what I did not like about it. The draw was way to free. I only used a punch but it drew to much for me to get a good taste. Felt kinda soft when I was feeling it. Maybe just a bad one. I'll try again though just not right away. I have a long drive on Saturday. I have to pick out two. One for the ride there and one for the ride back. Not sure yet what it will be. I'm thinking maybe that Ashton ESG and the Decade or the Triple Maduro that I still have not smoked.
After reading Duty's post last night, I decided to try out the 601 Connecticut robusto that I've had for a few months tonight. And a little more than an hour later, I'm ready to throw out everything I thought I knew about a Connecticut wrapped cigar as this one laid my previous experience with that wrapper to waste. Full flavored, medium-full in body and oh so delicious. Needless to say, I enjoyed this one a good bit and will be looking forward to the next one, whenever that may be.
Well, just got back inside from smoking a fuente hemingway and drinking a bottle of shiraz from a texas winery Llano. Both were awesome and now I need to crawl into bed.
Tonight the B&M had an Ashton tasting. I smoked a Heritage, with a few glasses of scotch. Quite tasty. I bought a few various sticks with the event discounts, and won another Heritage in the drawing. Then went to Hooters for dinner. Not a bad evening.
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I probably won't get one in until Sunday, if I'm lucky. I was planning to have one tonight. It's my wife's turn to host the women's neighborhood Bunco group, so I was gonna make my way outside after the kids were in bed. It's outrageously windy, and likely to rain. I hate smoking in a strong wind (not to mention reading a book, so that's out). Same forecast for tomorrow night, with almost certain rain. Saturday, I plan to go out rock climbing wherever the rain isn't fallin in NC, and probably won't get one in then, either.
OK. I did not like the Signature. Not a lot of taste and the last 3rd tasted like amonia. I still have 5 or 6 Signature 500 that I do like so I am ok with it. I think of it as a learning experience. No smoking for me tomorrow. Saturday I will pick it back up.
Well that would explain why we haven't seen much of you these past couple days. I hope you're feeling better soon.
Indeed... I'm feeling much better now though... Actually I was considering going out to have a smoke tonight, but it's pouring the rain and the few other times I've tried smoking while it was pouring I found my smoke got screwed up about half way through... Too much humidity I guess...

If you're gonna do something, you might as well put your full effort into it... If it's time to dump the stomach, might as well make sure there's nothing left...
I should have had the honor of saying that. Tonight I had a Oliva Series G Cameroon. I enjoyed the sweet spot. The after taste was of coffee, maybe even mocha. It also went well with the Goose Island I was drinking. Smooth cigar, smooth beer. No burn issues at all. Taste was creamy. When I finally break down and buy a humidor, I will definitly have a couple of these in there at all times. I'm done until monday or tuesday. I'm going on vacation to Colorado and I have a plan to buy a cigar, drive to the mountains, park my car where I can see the sunset and have a smoke.
Tonight was a RP Edge toro. First time, started out just ok, but got better as it went along. Overall it was ok, but I there are many other RP's (90,92,99, Decade, Olde World, Sungrown) that I like much more.
