had a LFD El Jacko Maduro tonight. What a full bodied little beast. Love the shape. The burn was pretty sharp for a perfecto and thing burned nice and slow. Glad I have another one of these to age.
Started off with a 5 Vegas Gold Rubusto for breakfast with my morning cuppa joe. This afternoon had an Oliva "G" Maduro Torpedo. Lovely as always, rich, smooth, a little pepper and that wonderful mellow cedar aftertaste.
well last night i stopped by a local b&m and had a ton of luck. picked up my first cao sopranos, 2 nub habanos, an italia, and another opus x . so today i had my first nub out of the two i bought and i must say, i have heard many negative things of them, but I really enjoyed it. I love habano wrappers which probably accounts for a lot of it but i took a good hour and 20 to enjoy it and thought it was great. i had a few toffees with it and it paired AMAZINGLY well i have never had anything to eat while smoking it was interesting to say the least. it was a 358 size i belive
go into it expecting a positive experience, i know a few people dont have nice things to say about them, but in my opinion oliva came out with another great cigar
Today i had my first Cohiba red dot curchill. A well filled, well constructed cigar. Draw was a little tighter than i like(though each puff produced a ton of smoke), even for a churchill, but the taste made up for it! This thing was so sweet i thought i was smoking a maduro or a flavored, that lasted almost the whole stick. Then a touch of leather, almond and soft cedar developed. The burn on this thing was picture perfect the entire way. I'd put it at the lower end of medium but 100% damn fine smoke!
While playing a game of risk I had a camancho triple maduro toro. Good smoke, loved the aroma, hazelnut and vanilla! Only thing was it went out 3 times. Perhaps it was that I had it sit too long..

Right now i am enjoying a la aroma de cuba (one of my favorite smokes) its a robusto, the only negative? for some reason this one is having burn issues, the first time i have had them with one of these, its also the first time i have had it in robusto I cant help but wonder if its related

or your RH is a tad bit too high.
It stays between 67-70.. so I don't think that's it. (as far as sit, I meant not in the humi but holding it while lit)
I decided to go out for another one since it was nice outside, settled on a La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet #1. This has been probably the most reliable cigar I've had in my relatively short time smoking cigars, it's just fantastic every time and seems to only get better the longer they sleep.
A friend and I had ourselves each a Oliva Master Blends 3 robusto tonight. Was an amazing cigar...reminded me of a Padron anniversary,but I would say it may be a bit stronger than most oliva's and padrons I've smoked.
Just finished an Oliva G Cameroon. Great stick, great price! Started off really sweet and woody with nut tones, developed a bit of leather. Very smooth satisfying smoke at a great everyday price.
H. Upmann, for me. Lotsa good flavor, perfect burn. These have turned into one of my faves. I'm finding Upmann and Montecristo aren't classics for no reason. These cats know what they're doing.
Just got in from a local B&M --had some Christmas grab bags made up thrown down on a bottom shelf--- well lookee here -one bag had 2-Anejo #77 SHARKS,2 Anejo #55's and a Anejo churchill for 34.95!!! Another bag was Fuente Don Carlos-A #2,#3,#4,A robusto,a dbl robusto and I think a presidente/ Total of 6 for 48.95. The Anejo's are now with me and the Don Carlos will be if there still there about 5:30 this evening! The only reason I didn,t get the DC's while I was there was I have never smoked one, I have a Don Carlos # 2 resting in my humi but havn't burned one yet, but now regret not picking these up while I was there.....may have to sneak outta work for about 20 minutes as this sounds like too good a deal to pass up.
