Rate cigars you've recently smoked

While I love the high dollar stogies my newest everday smoke is Trinidad y Cia ( corona ). I smoke 3-6 a day every day and found this one from JR's to fit the bill.( I think their less than 15$ for 20 ) It's a sandwich cigar that burns great with a smooth flavor. As some of you might remember I smoke 3-6 stogies a day and for my wallet I have to have an inexpensive daytime smoke. After the day is over I get a cold one or a three finger JACK and smoke a better one. I like Baccrat and Punch. I While I prefer them there is no way I can huff 35-45$ a day. Sorry guys, i'm just a working man with expensive taste, but I will make do when I have to. GOD bless ya'll who can afford to smoke the good stuff reguraly.


Go for it Rick

I smoked a Don Lino Africa last night. Was an okay smoke. I would say medium building up to somewhat full at the end. Did not change flavor throughout the smoke. Could not really pickout any specific flavors (see my post - Developing your palate). The burn was very uneven and I had to re-light several times. I would not get another one at the price I payed.

So there is my poor attempt at my very first review. lol. Hope it is alright.

oliva o bold omni - 87

bad draw. about as bad as my flor de canos. a little tighter, i would've threw it away. as it hit the last third, the bad draw was gone, though, and i really enjoyed it after that. i like the maduro better

Partagas Black Maximo - 91
very nice oily oscuro wrapper. medium bodied, with a very clean and mild finish, with loads of black pepper from start to end. sweet taste and aroma as well because of the wrapper. a spice bomb! will get more when i can.

Macanudo Cafe Hyde Park - 90
