This afternoon I decided to try a Rocky Patel OSG robusto. This one just really didn't do much for me, it was ok tasting, but nothing really grabbed me. Tonight I was put to shame by a Nestor Reserve maduro torpedo...this proved to be too much cigar for me. I liked it quite a bit, but I just didn't have the stamina to finish it, a robusto would've been perfect tonight.
I'll be up for a while, writing one of my 4 papers that are due over the next 5 days. Just lit up a Graycliff 1666 robusto and got a tall glass of cafe au lait.

Today was a Fuentes Cuban Corona.. A nice little cigar. It was sweet, nutty on the last half, with a cocoa taste throughout. Medium bodied and a great example of what Fuentes can do for just a few bucks. Pick some up and you should enjoy them.
Partaking in a Hemingway Short Story as we speak. It had a small draw issue early, but after a few minutes was able to loosen it up. It is drawing like a champ now. A very fine taste and aroma in such a short stick. I may be buying a few more of these soon.
I finished up with a Rocky Patel Honduran Classic in the short torpedo size, 5x54. This was a pretty nice cigar, medium, maybe medium-full in body, good flavor and a solid performer...no touch-ups here thank you kindly. Perfect size for an afternoon smoke too, runs about an hour or a little more.
I got one of my orders today, in fact one of the Olivia Serie "O" maduros felt good enough to smoke so I did, a pretty good cigar, strong but in that good way. Some cocoa hints, grass/earth, spice and wood/cedar. I'll have to crack open the other in a while. It's always nice to see that you have filled up your humi! I put in the last 8 sticks I think my humi can take, now I need to get another for my infused cigars, then I think I'm going to get a 400+ sized humi. It's funny, I have a 100 count and already the thing is full, it's because of all the good smokes you all talk about! damn you, damn you all
Finished up with a Perdomo ESV '91 second...have I told you guys that I love this cigar? Well if I've somehow managed to forget that part...I love this cigar, it's just fantastic.
I'm smoking a Don Carlos #3, first one out of the box I recently bought. The foot seemed a tad underfilled and it's burning kinda quick, but it still tastes great. Hopefully this was the one poorly constructed stick out of the box.
Tonight it's a Natural Limited Irish Hops. I've been wanting to try this one and just received a Drew sampler. Interesting smoke, I enjoyed it but would have to try another before deciding to grab a box. Definitely some hops flavor there, probably should have cracked open a nice IPA to enjoy with this.
I finished up with a Nording robusto a little while ago, pretty good cigar. I've seen mention of burn issues with this cigar, but mine burned straight and even the whole way through, a couple prominent veins proved to be no problem. While the flavor was good, I think this one needs a deal of rest as I did note some bitterness at times. I'll get back to this one in a few months and see where it is.

i could see that. the one i had was fairly young as well. i did have burn issues with mine but im guessing that is a bit more rare than i thought. I may go out in a week or two and get a few of these just to age. I bet about a year on em would do it wonders.
I don't doubt that one bit. Though on a young cigar, an additional 90 days can do quite a bit in my limited experience...of course I'll be looking forward to these with a year on them too.
