Taking a few days off while fighting a nasty head cold. On the plus side, I won an auction for some 5 Vegas Cask Strength II's last night... I was despairing of finding some without having to buy a sampler.
I had a La Gloria Cubana robusto this afternoon, I've been wanting to try this one and it didn't disappoint...though it did tunnel a few times due to me letting it sit for too long. I would definitely have this one again...Thanks for another one Vinny, you're 2/2 pal.
Let me tell you guys about a cigar I had a few minutes ago. La Aroma de Cuba, I got this cigar in a sampler. Actually wanted the other three brands that were in the sampler didn't pay much attention to this paticular one. Well I got it out tonight, its been in the ready to smoke humi for a while, prolly six months. This cigar was exceptional, perfect burn, lots of smoke, not too tight of a draw. The cigar paired with a Texas Port was perfect. Tasted some nice earth flavor, followed by a nutty flavor that lasted throughout the cigar, and the finish was a mild pepper. If you have a chance to get this one I highly recommend it.
Well now after looking the cigar up no wonder. Ashton product blended by DPG no wonder how did that get by me?
Smoked the Anejo churchill I mentioned in an earlier post today. This was a wonderful smoke, lasted 1 hr and 45 minues!!! Tasted great, good construction/burn and about halfway thru a couple of puffs tasted like a BBQ smokey flavor. I smiled to myself as I thought the cigar gods were messin' with me-two of my favorite things cigars and BBQ. LOL.

Are you sure that wasn't just a burb from lunch.. Never tasted BBQ in a cigar, but will keep a tastebud out for that one. Did 'ya call grandma yet ? She ain't getting any younger.
Hey Kas didn't have any BBQ for lunch but I did think it was one of the strangest sensations/flavors I ever had from a cigar - just a smokey bbq kind of twist that only lasted about 2-3 puffs,go figure. Grand ma ma isn.t answering her phone lol,

lol.. I had a BBQ chip tonight, had a slight burn issue at the beginning, corrected itself. 1/2 way through some slight mesquite chicken flavor with a hint of nutmeg and grass. near the end I got a pinch of honey dipped ribeye. Man what a smoke!
Started off the night with an Isla del Sol coffee flavored thingamajig...naaahh not really feelin it. Not so much a fan of flavored cigars. Then had a Ashton VSG followed up with a RP Decade. Te VSG was outstanding and the Decade was phenomanal!!!!! Think old world corojo with the body and spice kicked up a few notches. My strongest reccomendation to everyone!!
I finished off last night with my first Padron 1926. Wow. Loads of smoke, perfect draw, rich flavor with some spicy notes. This is a terrific cigar. Enjoyed the hell out of it, even out in the freezing cold.
I smoked the Ancient Warrior and it was really good. My second cigar on the way down to VA was the Crest. I think I cut too much off because te draw was a little too easy. It definately had a lot of strength. No one to smoke with here so I'll have to wait to smoke to when I leave.
Tonight I had Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur Epicure Maduro. A well constructed cigar with nice earthy sweet notes. I think these may be excellent with about 6 months of age, this one may have been a little young.
wow, your lucky. I was charged before they shipped. Unless your CC is slow on getting the charge. It was pretty much what the description stated. The wax was a pain to get off. There's a lot of flavors going on there and it's pretty sweet. I would class it as a desert cigar, lol. I went ahead and ordered a few more. I was pondering on ordering a box but for the price I can't see smoking 22 of them anytime soon. Though I am wondering since I've never heard of them before and they seem to be off the grid if I might bite myself in the rear if I don't. You'll have to let me know what you think. BTW, are they worth the price, maybe. They are different.
