urbino's log

urbino

Inspired by kuzi, and wishing to keep a log of my own thoughts on the cigars I've tried as well as learn to be a better describer of flavors, I'm starting my own little cigar log (clog?).

Wow, nice review. That was as good as a commercial. I'm sold. Will surely give that one a try.

i hate it when a cigar that you have had before doesnt live up to what you remember it being.

I'd just recommend letting them rest at least a week or two before picking up another, that'll answer the questions.

urbino

Yeah, I'm going to try to keep my hands off them for at least 2 wks. -- a month, if I can do it. I have enough samplers on the way to keep me busy for a while.

You've got me all fired up for a Fuente, its been too long, way too long.

urbino

Heh. Well hopefully yours burns/draws better than the one I just had. They are always tasty smokes, though.

the hemmingway was actually the first cigar i rated in my catalog. I think i gave it an 88. I should pick one up to see if i would still do the same.

urbino

I read that review the other day, but I can't remember what your overall rating was. I was thinking it was a 90, but maybe not.

Great reviews! That one on the Hemingway made me want to try one even worse than I already did even though you did have a few issues with it.  I am planning on starting a cigar log/jornal on here once I get time to smoke some that I have resting.  Got probably 30 that have been resting since Feb or March of this year.  I'm planning on hitting the golf course this weekend with a CAO Mx2 so that may be a good smoke to start with.  Look forward to reading more from you! Keep it up!

Earthy/sweet/woody sounds pretty good. I'm guessing the "M" is for maduro. Is the "C" for Connecticut or Cameroon?

PuroFreak

Thats what I'm guessing too.  I am really looking forward to it.  Have you tried the Tatuaje Havana VI?  I tried one of these a couple months ago in a robusto and was very impressed!  I read a write up about them in Cig Aff and had to try it.  I would be interested in reading a review from you or Kuzi on this one.  Totally different than my usual dark warpper cigars, but very nice.  I thought I caught some hints of honey in it.  If either of you have tried this what did you think?

cameroon. the Cx2 has a cameroon wrapper and binder. I like the Cx2 a lot. this is strange because (with a few exceptions) im not a huger cameroon fan. It isnt bad but i like corojo or a good maduro better. I did do a review of both of those (Cx2 and Mx2) in my catalog. it was early in my catalog and i think my taste identification has gotten better. my style has improved greatly since then as well.

If you have a chance to pick one up and give it a try I'd be really interested in your review of it.  I might have to stop by and get one of those for the back nine of my golf outing this weekend!  I believe it was March when I had the one that I tried and I remember a very distinct honey note.  A very flavorful full bodied cigar.  Had a great burn and dang near perfect draw.  Was pretty consistant throughout but did have slight variations as it smoked.  I remember it being more complex than the other cigars I was smoking at the time.  Yea, thats it, I have to go get one now for the weekend... Might have to pick up a few! haha See what I talk myself into...

I haven't had the Tatuaje, Puro, but I think I've seen kuzi praising them somewhere around here. I may be getting him confused with someone else, though.

not me. Ive never had one. its on my list though.

PuroFreak

I think I saw some posts where Madurofan was talking about the Tatuaje cigars.  But regaurdless of who it was, I would love to see a review of the Havana VI from either of you two when you get around to it.
