The first Ramon Bueso Torpedo from the box I bought and am laying down for Peanut's birth.., great great cigar but I think age will do nothing but help an already killer stick.
2011, so far so good but lots more spice as should be expected, when compared to the 2010. Only at the first half inch though. As we speak it is getting way creamier. And getting some herbal spice now as opposed to the initial pepper blast. This should be interesting although it is young to expect too much I suppose.
It was a really good day at work... Rewarding myself with a Cohiba Puro Dominicana I've had sitting in the back of the humi for a special occasion... Goes really well with two fingers of Macallan 12!
The burn started a little sketchy but an inch in and it has opened up nicely. A great classic cigar flavor!
Today was a Padilla Dominus.. After I heard these were no longer going to be produced, I decided to give it a try. Very solid stick.. Not as Full-bodied as I thought it would be, Leather, earth, and a spice that faded as the cigar went on. I have a few more that should only get better with time.
I'm smoking the "GURKHA VIPOR" the one that comes in the COTMC package, it's hard to agree with all the hype in RE: to flavor and punch that this smoke is or should have, it's hard due to the very very small smallest of sizes they send to test, I understand that GURKHA is unable to send out the actual size, do to loss of $, but it would have been nice, my opinion only
90+ Irishman, it's AWESOME RIGHT, I had written a review on this smoke in the review section I have to tell U I could not wait for the box I ordered, so i went to a what U all call a B&M I drove over 25 miles not far for most but when U doon't like to drive any mile is far, anyway I love this smoke and agree I'm going to age a few myself, it will bring out I think even a flavor even better than what it has now.

Both great choices Taylor, thanks for reminding me of that pairing!!
it was great, only downside was the group of asian girls that walked through the smoking area in the complex (only place with benches and ashtrays) who then stopped and glared at me... so i waved. lol

Now youre just messing with us right? "Actual size"?!?! That is either the "Grand Corona" (6x46) or the "Fang" (7x42) Lancero/Lonsdale. That is the "actual size". Not everything is in Robusto and Churchill only.
I have a couple of 26s sitting too, will have to try them next. True about consistency; I'm in the last third and a bit of leather has crept it, but it's still mostly the same. Better than those sticks that turn bitter in any case!
