Had to take a trip to the Airport today, and Smoked a Fuentes Cuban Corona on the way home.. It has become my favorite from the original line. Cocoa and nutty with a slightly sweet wrapper taste. that keeps you interested throughtout. But on the way in, I had one of my first loves. The Montesino Robusto.. One of Fuentes first offerings, and a constant favorite for me. This cigars is as pleasing today as it was when I had the very first a long time ago..
Hey Kas never had the Montesino,never really paid any attention to them, are they full,med or mild and taste close to what?
With the Montesino the Natural tends to run on the medium to mild side, it has the Fuentes perfect construction and great flavor profile. The taste would be similar to maybe a Cusano 18, or the M1, Kind of somewhere between a 5 Vegas classic and the 5 Vegas Gold. It is unique in it's taste but one that I find pleasing. I know what you mean about not paying attention to them, because if you didn't know Fuentes made them you might think they were a Fuentes knock off.

actually thats exactly what i thought -did not know Fuentes made 'em .....since i like both the cusano 18 and m1 should be a good try-thanks
Smoked a Titan yesterday and a Titan II today. Started a Sol Cubano Artisan last night after the wedding but it was so cold out everyone went in. I got about an inch done. I popped it back in my travel humidor once it went out. To big to put in the glass tube I got. Hope it will be OK for now. Would hate to have to throw it out.
Smoked a 5 Vegas gold nugget while mowing the lawn this morning. Just finished a Java robusto latte.
Mowing the lawn ? You **** ! It's Zero degrees, with 15" of snow on the ground here and you are mowing the lawn, and smoking a Gold Nugget. I hate you ! J/F/K. Good for you.
The last couple of days out here on the ship have been a real b!tch! I finally got a chance last night to smoke a 5 Vegas "A". After not smoking and working my ass off for a week, it more than hit the spot! Today flight ops start up later in the day so i'm thinking either RP 90 or Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet.
In Dallas, the temps around 50 or so... nice smoking weather. Just not for me...still in recuperation from a number of mouth and eye surgeries...really bites !
Oh damn Cub, sorry you're healing up and not in good smoking condition. So do you live in Dallas or just visiting? I agree tho, great smoking weather here in the big D. Last night I enjoyed a Graycliff 1666 VERY much!!! Awesome smoke with a perfect draw! Had consistently good flavor all the way through but not much complexity. Next I had my first 5 Vegas Serie A and wow! Another great smoke! The only problem on this one was a tight draw but the burn was perfect. It had hints of something that reminded of another cigar I've had but couldn't put my finger on what the flavor was, or what other smoke I've tasted it in... But great stick! Glad I have a few of them on hand now!
Smoked a H Uppman Vintage Cameroon this evening as i watched the snow settle in....really like this smoke....had to touch up once but overall that may have been due to the cold or my lighting. Have to pick up some more of these as that was my last one. Love the flavor.
I had a disappointing Nub cameroon this afternoon, it didn't seem to have much flavor at all. To make the day right, I had a Perdomo ESV '91 second, always a nice smoke and this one was tastier than usual. Love that cigar.
Headed out to the smoke deck tonight for a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet. It was a really tasty smoke but i think it would have been better if it had a little more punch. Still good enough for me to order some soon!
two cigar day for me. I had a Gurkha Regent Robusto tonight after dinner. I didn't like it as much as I enjoyed the Regent Toro that Kuzi sent me, but was tasty. Could've used another month in the humi I think. After a funky evening with some friends, a couple of us had a couple Oliva O Robusto naturals that had prolly 6-7 months on them. These babies never disappoint for a smoke under 5 bucks. Even with a few cracks, I think due to cold weather, these burned impeccably and I enjoyed mine until i got burned trying to enjoy it too much.
I'm smoking that Sol Cubano Artisan that I started on Saturday. Doesn't seem dry or harsh. I think because my one travel humi is in the car, the moisture was frozen in the cigar.
