Today was an Oliveros Maduro. What a surprise, I Can't remember anyone ever talking about this stick, so I didn't expect much. It was a very pleasant cigar that deserves a few good words. Much milder than I usually smoke, but it had a nice flavor profile, good construction, draw, and burn. It is the kind of cigar that would be pleasing to any level of cigar smoker.
Today I overcame my obsessive compulsive cigar-dor and opened up a box of the original 5 Vegas 'AAA" that I bought in January of '10. So far it's mighty tasty and hope for more good things to come! This was a weird box. I got two as a Christmas present from my boss, I smoked them and loved them, then bought my own box and sat on them ever since
Tonight, I break in my new meerschaum pipe with some Penzance
How does someone get some of this Penzance? Happy smoking!
It's impossible to find online - literally impossible - it's either sold out, or if it's in-stock, they either ream you on the price, or it's sold out within 1-3 hrs of being listed. Only way is to google for various B&M's around the country, call them and ask if they stock pipe tobacco, ask if they have Penzance, and ask if they're willing to ship it out to you. I found mine after an hour of failed attempts, in some B&M in California - they wanted $52 for 8oz, but when I asked them how much it would be if they shipped it out of State, the price dropped to $32
Last night I started out with a Punisher from Jan 2011 the spice has really faded, I slipped the band up for the picture. I then followed up with a SCCC from November 2010 ands finshed with a Gurkha Park Ave Maduro from Jan 2011. Pretty go night over all.

I'm just glad to see something in focus. Jiunn gets a B for bush.
It is a phenomenal cigar. I hope you had some age on it.
