I just finished a CAO Brazilia Amazon. As always, a great smoke, although I did have a few minor burn issues. We've also been having some good sun in the Puget Sound area, so it was a perfect day to be out on the balcony with a good cigar.
For those of you with cold weather issues (it's gotta be in the mid-40s here), I have a recommendation: the Avo Domaine. Aside from being a great cigar, the 2d-hand smoke is so mild I can hold the thing in my mouth without complaint -- all the way down to a nub. You can keep both hands in your pockets.
sunday night-- cao mx2 /rum & sierra mist(actually very good- kinda tropical) hot tub at 102 degrees-cool carolinas night. smoke lasted about 2 hours-hints of coffee beans and chocolate,little peppery. had just bought and could not wait to try,flavors not as pronounced as some reviews i had read.overall good smoke/good time- should i have let it set awhile?
Last nite I had an Ashton VSG, actually my first one, and man was it good. Have three more I got in a sampler can't wait to smoke them now. May have to get a box if they are as good as the first one. Urbi have you had any of these.
Just finished off a Gurkha Centurian. Excellent cigar. Although I found it to be a little too earthy or woody for my tastes. Also, during the first third of the cigar I had a small wrapper explosion, but with some TLC the burn eventually got corrected.
Last night I had a great Onyx Reserve Robusto! Awesome smoke! Had it in the humi about 6-7 months and it seemed to mellow a bit and some of the flavors were more pronounced. Took about and hour and ten minutes to smoke and tried to get a bit uneven about 2 inches in but corrected itself. Was a great smoke to cap off a great weekend!
So I decided to give a Cigar.com Cuban a try.. Well after about 3 weeks in the humi, the cigar got a little softer, not so dried feeling. The smell was rather pleasant, a little earthy smell. I got some grass taste off pre light, and it was a taste throughout the cigar. Mixed with some earthy and wood tastes. The cigar kept pretty even, though it started to wander. I would say that this wasn't a cigar I would buy again, but it wasn't bad, just not up my alley.
Well, it is snowing here! So, I can't really drive my car in the snow so I went home for lunch, dropped my car off and got my truck. Along with that, I got the Perdomo Lot 23. Didn't like the first couple of puffs but then it mellowed and is developing nicely.

What !! How much snow can you be getting now, or better yet, what are you driving that is so snow proof ?
Back to cigars, I found that the Lot 23's I have had take a few minutes to develope too, and get much better when you let them rest a few months..

My car has performance tires on it and I learned a long time ago they SUCK in the snow. So, I went home and got my truck. I have 4 wheel drive and my tires are pretty good in the snow. My car has AWD but that doesn't help with performance tires.
I love snow! Maybe because we never got much of it in Texas or maybe because i spent too long in the damn desert that all I ever want is cold weather. Tonights' smoke happens to be Partagas Naturales but im new to the cigar world so any suggestion from you guys and or gals would be greatly appreciated.

If you end up liking the Partagas Natural, try the Partagas Aristocrat. It is one of my favorites.
