    Tried out the Cain Daytona finally. Got it in the cotm a few months ago, so it's had plenty of rest. I was unimpressed. The draw was too tight. The flavor and aromas I got out of it would have made it a nice stick if it was made better, but this one I actually laid down about halfway through. I know it's just a bum stick, but I'm not a big enough fan of Oliva to try it again.

    Dude, try the petite corona. They cost like 4.50 or something, and I have never had a construction issue with any of the handful I have smoked. Also, they have a really unique nutty flavor that was definitely worth experiencing.

    Had 2/3 of a Johnny-O! Magnum Culebra, 8x47 of shagfoot goodness. Smoked with Leonard who had the odd third. Fantastic fresh rolled cigar.
    Any idea how long ago it was rolled? In my experience (and according to John) his stuff is great fresh, for a few weeks, and then get sick until almost a year after rolling. I recently got a bunch of stuff from him, and loved them fresh, but they have since definitely gotten sick. I have only had one Johnny-O with age on it (almost 2 years old), and I just pray that my small collection of his stuff turns out as great as this one was. Also, his culebras (being shaggy footed, and 8x47) are MONSTERS!
    What are these Johnny-O cigars I've been reading about and how can I get my hands on a couple?

    Perdomo 10'th Maduro Robusto. A solid smoke. I personally score this one A well deserved 94.

    I can estimate within the last 2-3 weeks based on when they came online.

    601 red churchill with the original band. Age has mellowed this one too much for me. Its much smoother now though.

    601 Red robusto. It was okay; nothing special. It seemed to have a very short finish.

    Having a friend over to help me smoke the rest of my Frank's Way cigars. They're not horrible, but I need to free up some space in the cooler, and they're the low man on the totem pole.

    It's 108 degrees here, so I'm staying inside with the a.c. and an ice cold sam adams, no cigar for me unless the temp drops A LOT when the sun goes down.

    At first, I was not a fan of the 601 Red. When I first got them I put em with my 601 Blues and Greens at 65% RH...somehow a couple got mixed in with some of my Connies at 70% and upon smoking one I noticed a remarkable change in the flavor profile. Since then I have experimented with a couple more of my natural wrappers...some improve in the 70% and some don't.

    Did a little test last night, I had a Padron 3000 Natural that I bought from the B&M about 13 days ago. The walk in humi is kept at 70%Rh and I bought three of them. I plan to smoke one at 2 weeks, one at a month and one at three months.

    This one was bad... Good flavor but burned too hot, burned uneven and put it down a little early (not too early, but not as much as I usually smoke)

    It did leave some burnt flavors in my mouth so I lit up a Perdomo Champagne 10th anniversary that was nice and rich and smooth... That one had a year and 4 months on it
