Earlier today I smoked a Cuban Cohiba that was gifted to me (but it just so happens to be a counterfeit but hey I'm not complaining) and currently I'm thoroughly enjoying a Gran Habano Vintage 2002.
Smoked a Forum Blend Maduro last night in the fucking 93 degree temps. It was brutal. If it wasn't so hot I would have been able to enjoy it more plus it took me 2 hours to get to my destination where it should have taken me 45 minutes. Burn and draw were perfect.
On the way home from said destination, I had a Monti White. It did nothing for me. It is from the cotm club 6 months ago. Something strange did happen though. When I took it out of the cello I got this cognac smell. This is the second time I have gotten it in the last week. Ironically, the first time was from the R&J that was in the same cotm package. I have 3 more from that package that I am going to smoke soon. No other cigars in that humi smell like that. The 5 cigars were stored for 5 months in the ziplock bag they came in witha humi pillow and then 1 month in my smoking humi.

I got that same cognac smell from that Cotm pack...and all of the cigars performed horribly.

JJ20030, thanks for the Warlock. I did something different tonight. I paired it with a Woodford Reserve. It was all I had and guess what. It was very good. I will do that again.

Weird. What are your thoughts about it?
That's what would happen if I worked at CCOM... All the cigars would smell like Miller Lite
Headed to the pool with this J Fuego origen Alien sent me.
In my opinion that is a very flavorful smoke! I bought a 5pk not long ago, I've already smoked 2 and sent one to Rick. I was impressed for such an ugly little un-banded stick. J. Fuego is doing some great stuff!

Woodford is some good bourbon! Actually just finished off a bottle Tuesday night with a friend of mine. I've never had the Warlock, but Woodford pairs well with most smokes IMO.

I didn't really know what to make of it in all honesty, except that I was pretty disappointed with the whole thing.
