Today is my sons' 23rd birthday. I have a couple of Opus X #4's that have been sitting for about 3 months. I figure it will be a great time to break them out. I have never tried an Opus X before so...
Tonight was an El Cobre toro. I gotta say I enjoyed this one, good flavor and a pretty decent amount of body to it, the strength really ramped up in the latter half. Good stuff.
5 Vegas Gold...nice smoke. Very good mild cigar with a nice nutty flavor, maybe something like almond. I only got through half of it, but it was about 25 degrees. My lungs was crystalizing.
I can help you free up some space... I smoked a RP 1992 and it was rather good, though I couldn't finish it as my company was getting annoyed since I couldn't smoke it fast enough. If only I could smoke inside....
Man that sucks! thats a great cigar to finish! At the moment I got some time to kill so i'm smoking a ccom brazilian churchill. It's the last one from the brazilian sampler, good smoke! Lots of sweet cedar flavor and a little cocoa and earth. Good burn, good draw, good ash, great value!...need to buy more.
Today was a La Aurora Cameroon 1495/1994. This one was great.. A word of advice if you get these, let them rest a few months.. I had one right out of the box and it was a little overpowering.
Today the stick was perfect in it's burn, and flavor.. A very relaxing hour plus from this corona.
I had myself a Padilla Obsidian today. This was the first one I've had that I was able to finish, the others have been too tight and I didn't feel like fighting with them to get a decent amount of smoke. This time I made sure to cut higher up on the taper, and that seemed to do the trick as this one was a smoke bomb. And it's a good cigar, certainly not the best Padilla has to offer, but still an above average smoke.
fired up my first trilogy tonite (trilogy exotic maduro). prelight draw good. started a little strong but quickly moved to smooth flavors of pepper and spice and another flavor i just could not identify. solid ash ,burn was great-minor touch up one time. lasted about an hour and a half which shows just how much i enjoyed it as it's cold as hades here (low 30's). priced around 3.50 so i will proably add this to my everyday rotation as a change of pace. good relaxing smoke. now it's time for a mug of rum.cheers!
Smoked a Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles tonight. For a 4.6" x 42 cigar, this little thing packed a small kick. Was overall a bit on the spicy side, but definitely complex. Was the first cigar of this line I have tried and have to say I really enjoyed it. I picked up a few more of these and bought one of the Verocu #2 after reading the love it has on this forum. I can't wait to try it!

I love the Tatuaje brand! They have some awesome smokes! I picked up the Lancero and a few of the Limitadas at the event I went to.
The other night I smoked a Rocky Patel Reinasance. Wonderful cigar. Very well made, even burn. Medium bodied cigar with a medium finish. Very spicey with woody undertones. I enjoyed this cigar a great deal, will buy more! Since the cigar is so new, it is hard to find at the moment. If anyone else had tried this cigar or planning on smoking it soon, let me know what you think!.
lol, I'm sure you've been stocking those for some time, I was able to order a 5 pack of the royals and I only found them in stock at one place. hard as hell to find.

I wasn't impressed. I liked the Grand Reserve and the Platinum better. Maybe it was just the one I had. I have 4 more that I am waiting to smoke, so we'll see.
today could be the rare 3 smoke day...had a day off somewhat and drove up to my bosses' house to work on her network, on the way up I had a Ashton Cabinet Belicoso. Nothing new here, just a solid mild smoke for the morning. On the way back I had a Butera La Penna EX, a tobacconist I met in a B&M out of town, suggested I try it out. It was a solid smoke. Had some nice coffee and Cocoa flavors to it. Who knows what is on the agenda tonight...but there is time for another one!
Do you have the churchills or the perfecto? I could only find the perfecto
Torpedo. That's all I could find.
That's what I meant. It's triple infused, I would think it would be better.. hmmm.
It got harsh and sour half way through. It may have just been that particular one but I got a few more to try so we'll see. Their not exactly the most economical cigar either. There is a new cigar out that I want to try but noone has then in stock. It's the new Don Arturo Gran Anniversario. They are like $60 a piece. That's tough to stomach.

Finished the night off with a Padron 64 Exclusivo - even shared one with a friend - damn good as always. Burn was perfect and was an awesome way to cap off a nice day away from the office: dinner with a friend, followed by a 64.
