Had a ccom Brazilian churchill last night. Been aging since around May. I thuroughly enjoyed it. Tasted a little like the 100 Anos but soooooooooooooooooooooo much better.
I would be smoking if I could, it's a cool night, and sort of mellow, but I'm working late. Hope it stays this way, though it's suppose to snow this weekend..

vegas limitado 08 - It was just starting to bloom and I was really liking it when I was pulled back in to watch the Bear game. I have re-lit, but am not recapturing the moment.
It's cold out, but not windy (unlike earlier today) or raining, so I'm gonna head out and have a Padilla '68 torpedo. Haven't had one of those in a while, and I'm overdue.
I haven't smoked in two days. My tongue hurts. Not the tip but further back. It feels raw. it is better today but then my throat started hurting. Maybe if I feel better tonight or if not, maybe tomorrow or Sunday.
It's a great day, 2nd smoke of the day, a padron nat 26. I really liked this guy, very smooth and creamy. Glad I have a few others.. Anyone have a 80th or 40th? I'm thinking about picking up a couple, is there a preference?
You can't go wrong with either, I've had them both and they are outstanding smokes. I do however prefer the 80th natural.
I think tonight I am going to have one of the two nubs that I have gotten from Maddys pass. Got one from each pass, and the first one has been in the ready to smoke humidor for a while.
Today was an ode to Oliva day. Started out with a NUB Conny 354, nice smoke for the 55 minute drive to our warehouse...then on the way back, an Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso...two fine smokes for the day...too bad I couldn't fit in another one today!
So the other night I lit up a Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic (black label) Robusto. I was expecting a really good experience out of this one seeing that it's gotten rave reviews. I am new to the hobby of cigars and am still developing my own taste. But when I lit that thing up, it smelled like a drugstore cigar. And tasted like one too. Dry and bitter. I have put my humidor (now tupperdor) through the ringer with the RH levels dipping into the upper 50s for about a month and a half. But they've been keeping at 73 for about 3 weeks now. I don't think it was dried out, seeing that the wrapper was perfect and it had a little give when I squeezed it. What do y'all think could account for the flavor?
