I'm going to try an Ashton VSG Corona Gorda. Had one before but don't remember a whole bunch about it. This has been resting for about 16 months, so I'm looking forward to it.

Illusione Epernay. Amazing. Thanks Rick!

Man, you waste no time, lol. Glad you like it, BlueRings put me on to those. Stay away from that guy. He's just as bad as Kuzi with reviews. If he likes it, you'll buy it. If he doesn't, well you still might try it. But you'll be hesitant at first, lol. Hope you enjoy the rest of them.

I don't waste time on anything that comes sans cello. I simply don't have a humi set up with enough dividers to keep singles without cello safe from mixing with each other...

sounds like a legit enough reason, right?? lol

truth be told, I started drooling the min I looked at the stick... I'm actually amazed it made it this long LOL!

Carlos Toraño Exodus Silver. Its been a while since I've had one of these, but I can assure you it won't be so long next time...this thing is delicious!

Park Ave maddy. Started great, but was frought with burn issues by the 2nd third and never got itself together (despite my desperate attempts lol). Shame, it started out very nice!

It is not going to blow anyone away but it is a decent everyday stick. I put my thoughts in the thread currently going on it

Band. Heh. Now I'm curious about the unbanded. Are the Banded ones still in production? I could definitely see a cab purchase, or split in the future.

Earlier this afternoon I partcipated in a Ghurkha C-10... Nice smoke, took a long time though!

As far as I know, the banded ones are newer production, I don't know if they're making more or if they're done.

Had a My Father last night, had my first 5 Vegas Limitada 2010 tonight. I was a bit disappointed with the My Father, but I'm pretty sure it was just a bad stick. I was thoroughly impressed by the Limitada, I will always be keeping them in my humidor, if I can.

The My Father really needs some time to shine, I'd recommend no less than 12 months, and more in the neighborhood of 24-30+ months. Recently I smoked one that had right around 2 years and it was fantastic, smooth, complex and just bursting with flavor. Your patience will be rewarded.

Tonight I am having a Diesel Unlimited with several pours of Bulleit Rye.

I appreciate the suggestion, I'll have to get some more and set them aside for a good while. Its hard to imagine aging something for 2 years, since I haven't even been smoking for two years! Do you feel the same aging is needed for the Le Bijou?

I haven't had the experience with the Le Bijou to say how much time it needs, but I do feel it needs at least a year. That's my opinion though, I can't really say if you would agree. I will say that in general DPG cigars tend to do well with time, so you can't really go wrong aging any of his blends.
