    Partagas series D no. 4. Right now. Had a Davidoff Gran Crue #3 yesterday. Picked these up at my fav B&M yesterday in the city.

    They didn't have the gran crue in #2 and the other Davidoff's CC mentioned in another thread were all $50 - 75 up here. Guess I'll be waiting for my next trip to the US to try those!

    Damn VAT!

    Many moons ago I very much impressed a Canadian sailor with an Opus X. I could not believe his reaction when I gave him the cigar ... At the time I had no clue the were $75+ In Ontario! I wish I could blow people away all the time like that (it did not cost me anywhere near $75., and truly was not a big deal...). But damn glad to honor our military brethren in that way!

    Very cool, I have two brothers in the military and both smoke cigars! My son's thinking of joining up and he has the odd cigar with me too! And yes, the tobacco prices here are ridiculous. As a rule of thumb, we pay three times what you do for the exact same cigar in the US.

    I'm not sure which of the Davidoff's were the most expensive but I believe it was the "Davidoff Double R" and they were $75 each. I'll get some in the US next June to try! The Gran Crue #3 was only $25.00 so that's why I went with it. There were two special edition Davidoff cigars in that same humidor that sold for $795.00 each. I just about threw up in my mouth when I saw those prices!

    Had a Padron 3000 Londre last night. MMMMMMmmmmmmmm

    Another RASCC. This box is nearing 3 years old and they are getting really good. It's going to be tough to not finish it off this fall.

Great flavor in others, but you have to earn it with the tight draws.

    I've noticed a tight draw on several smokes lately. Too tight. I'm smoking this Cohiba Black right now and it too has a restrictive draw. It's doable, although not optimal IMHO. Compared to the LGC Corona I had earlier which had a great draw.

    Yummy.

    Light years ahead of the Cohiba Black Pequenos I had last night.

    Rocky Patel Ocean Club (Holt's RP house cigar).

    Been smoking stronger cigars lately, so I thought I'd switch off to something that looked lighter for a change.

    Not a bad cigar. Nothing bad to speak of. Looked nice, burned nice, no bad flavors. There were decent flavors typical of a mild Dominican (Though the binder is Mexican, the wrapper is Nic, and the filler is Dom/Nic mix), and no bitterness at all, but the flavors were very subtle. It was a very mild smoke and thus kind of ho-hum. Descriptions label this cigar as medium, but I have no clue what they were smoking. The cigar I smoked was well into the mild range IMHO. Probably a decent choice for morning coffee or some other light morning beverage, a walk, or yard/garden work, but definitely not a memorable smoke.

    My second AF Exquisito Maduro. First was last night. Real good smoke. I may have to box up on these. I burnt my fingers last night and headed that way again. Dayam.

    The pre-light sniff is barnyard no doubt.

    I will be reviewing this on the third smoke tomorrow. For now, a few more notes here:

    Dominant flavors for me at this point are sweet Maduro mixed with leather and strong smooth tobacco. Pleasant pepper throughout.

    Perfect burn, great construction and a lot of smoke for a small stogie. Worthy of a home in my humidor.
