Just finished an early smoke, one of my locally rolled lovelies and Rodriguez cognac blend panatela. You guys have seen me post several times about these, so I'll save the praise this time around. Suffice to say, these are really nice mild cigars, and the panatela was very good.
Last night was at a wedding and then an after party. Had a Tat Private Reserve at the reception and a Cohiba Esp. at the after party. A very good cigar day.
To start my day off I had a small breakfast of rye toast and a Gurkha of some sort...I received it in a sampler some time ago. It is mild-medium in body, has a Connecticut wrapper and the Legend band.
Yup. When I smoked my first one of those, I think I said it was the barnyardiest cigar I'd ever smoked. Odd how so many unlit cigars have flavors/aromas you wouldn't think of as pleasant -- barnyard, gas station men's room -- but you find you like them very much once they're lit.
You have probably tried them, but a couple of CT wrappers I particularly enjoy are the RP Vintage 1999 and Perdomo ESV 91. The Perdomo is one of my absolute fav's!
Tonight was a Legends Plasencia. First maduro I have had from the line and it was excellent. Have some Legends Perdomo on order and looking forward to them too.
Had an Arteuro Fuente 858 last night. Had some serious draw issues. It was like drawing through a stir straw. Outside of that the flavor was great. I want to try it again back at home. I think the humidity was off with it before I got it. I went to a shop that I've never been to before in a state that I don't live in. They weren't even a smoke shop. They had a very limited selection of smokes.
