I am not sure if I can do this but I couldn't find any rules against posting an attachment. Any ways here are my smokes for the week end. I have never tried any of them before so hopefully its all good. Let me know your thoughts on them or the photo.
Thanks
Dave
I've never had that particuliar Don Tomas, but the RyJ, MX-2 and especially the Padron, are outstanding cigars!
Nice Lineup, cool picture, too :smiley20:
Enjoy them :smiley37:

That Short Churchill looks box pressed...if it is, consider yourself lucky. Apparently they had some serious quality control issues with older runs, and started box pressing newer runs of Short Churchills to indicate that the quality was again being regulated. A buddy of mine got a box of an older batch; almost half of the cigars weren't even satisfactory.
I just smoked an RyJ Short Churchill this afternoon and it was slightly box pressed. (Fantastic smoke by the way.) I thought that was a little weird. I wasn't aware of the info you posted.Quote:

Nice photo, and good line up. I'll have to say I haven't enjoyed the Don Tomas smokes I've had in the past though.
Can't go wrong with the Padron, imho.
Easy choice --- RyJ Church. Short!! The others don't even come close. Hope you enjoy it.
Nice picture and nice line-up. Hope you enjoy them. The MX2 and the Padron are more medium to full.....but tasty. The RYJ might be a little bit on the lighter side but a nice smoke indeed. And I haven't had the Don Tomas.....I'd love to hear about it though.
Hope ya have better luck with tha MX2 than I had...I've had two MX2's and haven't been able to finish either...something about the taste just rubs my tastebuds the wrong way....
the MX2's must be a love hat thing. Personally they are one of my favorites, very creamy and smooth. never had any of the other. Enjoy!
Had a Quintero Brevas last night and for this weekend I still haven't decided yet.
On Friday night I had the R&J. This is the best cigar I have had yet even though it is a little mild. It burnt well, lots of smoke easy draw. I had it with espresso which seemed to compliment it very well. If it wasn't so expensive (Canada) I would definitely get a box.
After reading every ones responses I thought I would smoke the Don Tomas while doing yard work. This worked out well. I wasn't overly impressed with it but I did enjoy it while I was cutting the grass and doing a bit of pruning. I will buy more because they are inexpensive and not a bad smoke while doing something else.
Saturday night I tried the Padron 2000. Wow. Immediately after lighting it I realized that coffee was not going to go well with it so I poured a couple of fingers of Scotch ( Oban) to go with it. This was a very full bodied cigar. I smoked it until I couldn't hold it any more. The tatste of it lingered in my mouth for a long time after I was done. This was not a bad thing. I will try these again.
Tonight If the weather cooperates I will try the MX2
Thanks for your responses
