Flor de Oliva Gold, Toro. Not bad. Since I'm a newbie, I'm cycling through contestants for the "everyday cigar" slot. This was the first of four I picked up at the local cigar shop. The others are:
The Brick by Torano (Robusto)
National Brand (Corona I think)
Savoy (Robusto)
July 25th:
Quintero Brevas
7/25 Montecristo Le Cigare des Arts what a POS :smiley21:

2 Gin & Tonics with my Partagas Black from Superman78 (very good smoke I though, and no black teeth :smiley20: ) and a 1808 (local shop cigar, owner gifted it to me for a try-out to let him know how I liked it).
How sweet it is, first non-humid day in chi-town all summer.
i'm with you on the humidity ,70 and cool today,torano tribute :smiley20:Quote:

Sean - sorry we didn't meet up... Had to do the golf outing thing... How'd you like the 1808. I was gifted one of those last week by a coworker. Looks nice - but might be kinda mild???Quote:

But, again, definitely not mild :smiley1:
July 27th:
SLR Serie A
Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo des Dieux
Aņejo 48
La Finca Casadore: Mild to medium sandwich that lights and burns well and has a nutty flavor that I'm fond of. Of course the big bonus is that they're cheaper than dirt. My hands down favorite for the price. I keep a bunch of these on hand, I can enjoy them while doing something else and not feel guilty about not giving them their proper attention and respect.
Carlos Torano 1916 Camaroon Robusto: First one of these I've had. Very mild smoke of outstanding construction. Flavor is tough for me to describe, either my palate is so shot to hell that I can't sort it out (it's really mild) or it's just too suptle and complex for my limited experience with fine smokes (I think it's more the former than the latter). Odd as it seems, I did enjoy it and will have another to see if I can sort out why I liked it so much.
JDN Celebracion
Camacho SLR Maduro
Cubita SMS Robusto
H. Upmann Connaisseur No.1
Tonight I had a Perdomo Reserve Maduro "P" while I was grilling some shrimp...
Tonight was The Brick.Quote:

yeah i like them, i have a few more of them, this one i knew i shouldn't of smoked it because my humidity was way to high about a week ago, so cigars still need time to level out, kept tunneling and going out about half way, but i do like them, when my humidity is right :smiley19:Quote:

Had a Joyo de Monterey Antonio, omg, it was the strongest smoke I've ever had yet!!
Plus I had a LFD Ligero, the largest ring gauge, also pretty damn strong.
Someone catch me, I've got a buzz!! :smiley29:
Had a Helix of some sort the other day, it was in a purple tube.
Also had a Rocky Patel Vintage 90 Churchill, as well as a RP V'90 Robusto, good stuff.

Cuaba Exclusivos April 2003
Folks this cigar possibly had the most Cuban twang of any Cuban i have ever smoked. You Havana Heads know what I mean. :smiley20:
Hey George, how are those? I've yet to find one in my neck of the woods.Quote:

They're still a bit on the mild side, but a tad more flavor than the regular line. I couldn't get them around here either - it was a gift from another BOTL (knifeman). If you wanna give 'em a try, let Chris know - I'm sure he'll pick one or two up for you...Quote:

I see you're keeping it real lately, eh? A nice ISOM would be great right now. I smoked my last Upmann (Coronas Junior) yesterday, and didn't have a stick today. However I did finally find a good tobacconist. The nearest good one I could find is an hour away from here. I plan to pay them a visit soon.

Had the following this past week.
Romeo Y Julieta Churchill Tube Cigar
Don Diego Privada No. 2
Carlos Torano Tribute 2003
Ancient Warrior
Bobalu white Label
Arturo Fuente Cuban Belicoso Sungrown
Ancient Warrior? The name makes it sound like its either a really good smoke or a terrible one, lol. How was it?
Last night I had me one of those Sancho Panza Double Maduro La Mancha's I got from Hevyboy. Very nice!!! Thanks!!!
If it's the newer Ancient Warrior (the new purplish colored band), it's akin to the CAO Brazilia's (although I think it's a tad more flavorful). While similar, they are different. I like each for my own reasons. Pricing is pretty comparable to the CAO Brazilia too.Quote:
