Twas a good day for Maddy. I worked from the B&M today. Started with an AVO Classic Toro, dissappointting. I haven't had a classic in a while and after smoking it I remembered why, quite bland.
Then I had an Ernesto Perez Carrillo Short Run. GREAT SMOKE, even better price point. -
Nub CT 460. Yummy little smoke Last one I had was meh, this one delivered.

I never got into that thing either. I do like the maduro, just way more money for it than I like.madurofan:Twas a good day for Maddy. I worked from the B&M today.

I broke out a gurkha double maduro tonight. Pretty good stick. I haven't had one in a very long time. -
Had my first Alec Bradley Family Blend. Not impressed with it at all. Tastes like a Padilla Achilles or Gurkha Grand Envoy with fewer flavors and lots of burn problems. My humi's running at 68 rh, but it went out completely twice - both when I left it alone for 15 to 20 seconds.
I've had that problem a LOT with the Tempus box press, Maxx, and Maxx Vice Press. Anyone know if the burn problems are a consistent blending or rolling problem? -
Yea I love the AVO Domaine Madurophobicsquirrel:

I've never had any issues with AB sticks. Also didn't think the Family Blend was ANYTHING like the Achilles. Strange... Makes me wonder if you got a bad stick or something. I have enjoyed every AB stick I've had. Also have a lot of flavor.wwhwang:Had my first Alec Bradley Family Blend. Not impressed with it at all.

Alec Bradley are terrible. Like trying to smoke pocket lint.
-
Had a Carlos Torano Exodus Silver courtesy of Goldy, how much time on it Goldy 3 or 4 years? Nice stick...
-
I'm just messing with ya puro. But in all seriousness Alec Bradley suck.
Also I tried to enjoy a Sccc. I don't know why I keep trying that stick. I haven't liked it yet.
-
just smoke a RP Renaissance. It was very smooth with a little spice to it and peppery, wish it would of be little bit stronger though.

DPG Cuban Classic 1979 with about 18 months of age

Started up a JdN Dark Corojo Azarosa and the thing was over filled. Nice hard spot right in the band area. Re cut it, didn't help. Chucked it and grabbed a Graycliff DE. That was fantastic.
-
Mmm. I have some with 18-24 months on them, possibly a bit more. Need to pull one out here and give it a whirl.bandyt09:DPG Cuban Classic 1979 with about 18 months of age -
Update, I've had them for at least 18 months, likely 24+, but the box date is Feb 08. Smoking fantastic too.j0z3r:

Had a Diesel Unlimited this morning...
-
had a ccom brazailan label last night and a half of bottle of wine to keep me warm out there. Great stick for the price!!
-
Had a Forum Blend Maduro last night. For the most part the burn was good and the draw was great. I swear this think lasted for about 30 hours. I don't know if I was smoking slow of what but man it was a long time! After that I had a Tatuaje Black Tubo. Have been resting since March. I let this one sit in my smoking humidor for the past 30 days. Flavor was good but burn was ehh. Had to correct and relight a few times. Draw was good though. I have a red from the same time period also sitting in the smoking humi that I am gonna have really soon.

-
I had a Camacho Corojo Ltd today. Great stick. After that I fired up a Cuba Libre Epicure.
-
Having a Oliveros King Havano thanks to Alex' suggestion. I'm really into it! Thanks for the suggestion, Alex.
-
CAO Criollo from the aging humidor here. Pretty good. Had some odd spices that I had trouble putting my fingers on!
-
Just fired up a CAO Mx2, my first out of a box I got a few months ago.

MOW Special edition...loving it so far, a little easier than the ruinations I've been smoking in regards to "strength"
-
decided to dip into the stash that my wife gave me for our anniversary. 777 belicoso - in the garage door partially opened and the space heater set on high.
not a bad smoke.. not as heavy as i hoped, the maduro wrapper gave it a good hit and taste. it got better towards the end - and as i type this now 1hr after finishing, i'd buy some more for sure.
overall, a good smoke - i would compare it to an illusione #88.

Just finished up an Oliva V...
