I picked up a few of these today. I'm an 8-5-8 virgin!

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.

Cohiba Black Pequenos

I believe I will fire this bad boy up right now and see what gives. :)

Why can nobody else roll a consistently great drawing cigar? Especially Cubans. I think maybe they like resistance? I don't get it. 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.

Rocky Patel Decade while grilling. Nice smoke!

My second AF Exquisito Maduro. First was last night. Real good smoke. I may have to box up on these. [emoji106] 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.
