Today was a Cuvee Blanc Robusto. I keep a travel Humidor in my truck with six various cigars in it. I reached in and picked this one blind. I have had several of these previously so I knew what to expect. A very fine cigar. I really enjoy Ecuadorian wrappers, and this one has it. This one is well worth a try.
Ah tonight was a 5 Vegas Classic Churchill. Came with the 5 for 5 sampler. I got my second 5 for 5 today and it had a nice surprise, I guess they were out of Oliva G so I got a Robusto Comacho 1965 ... how about that for a $1 stick. Gracias ccom.
nothing last night but today im gunna try and get in a RP honduran classic. Its one of the RPs i havent tried. I hope it goes well. Ive been a big fan of honduran tobacco for the last few months. ill keep all of you posted.
Maduro.. I ordered the same 5 for 5. How can any one not put that on their order ? I am waiting by my mailbox to get my hands on it ! CAO Black VR Moby today and that should appeal to the Madoro lovers out there. It's a black with an extra kick from the great Maduro wrapper. Find them amd try one!
I just finished smoking a Gurkha Titan, not the regular size but the one I got in a five pack at checkout. It was very delicious. I don't know exactly what the flavors were, I think I tasted leather. Nice even burn, and smoked beautifully. I would never pay regular price, but when I get a deal, I can't complain. Along with the beautiful weather and wine I accompanied with this cigar, it was a fantastic afternoon.
Cusano 59 rare cameroon preferido. Havent smoked too many perfectos or cameroon cigars. They live up their name though. The draw was tough at first as expected and cigar was really toothy. Mellowed to a great smoke after the taper and the ash was a gorgeous white. This cigar had medium flavors and a full body. I was pleasantly suprised and I wish i had a few more to smoke. I'm halfway in and fully enjoying this one...way to go CCOM and cusano.
Yesterday I had a couple of cigars for the first time. I did a Rocky Patel OSG robusto first. It was a great cigar and full of flavor. Liked it so much I went and ordered another box. Last night I had a Gurhka 1887 - mild but a good cigar. Selected the same cigar in maduro first, but it was bad. Very plugged and quite dry. Had to toss it.
BTW - just signed up for the Cigar of the Month club. Looking forward to it.
This morning I did an old favorite, a 5 Vegas Gold with coffee. As usual, an excellent morning smoke. I tried a cheap cigar this afternoon, an Oliveros Classic and got what I paid for. Poorly constructed and lacking flavor. Tonight I tried something new, a Padilla Hybrid and it was very good. Great construction and good flavor that stayed consistent until the end.
Leaving on a 10 day vacation tomorrow and I stocked myself up with over 25 cigars. Got some real good ones in the mix and I look forward to smoking them all!

Yesterday I was able to have a couple of smokes. While out relaxing on the patio had a Maria Guerrero petite corona, it was ok. In the evening while getting ready to grill, a Padilla 1968 robusto was going to be had. Well, as it turned out I was the one to be had. The person that rolled it must have had a really, really bad day. This was the worst Padilla I have ever had. The flavor profile was terrible, the burn was even worse. This is not the Padilla quality that I am accustomed to. I will have to give this cigar a second chance. Oh well...can't win them all.
Hawaii with the family. First time here, pretty excited. I travel a great deal, so I was able to turn in various points for my hotel rooms, flights and rental car. So, for the most part it's a free trip.

Today was a camacho 1962 robusto. I expected this one to be pretty full bodied and it delivered. It actually made me a little light headed but was very pleasant. Had a nice aroma and a taste that seemed like black coffee to me with a nutty taste as well. Burned this one down to the end and had a long aftertaste as well. I got a few more that I believe I will age.

A Fuente 858 Maduro that has been calling to me every time I open the humi.
I'm glad your getting to come home! Thanks for your service.
