just disrespected a CAO black
Just hit up the local B&M and smoked:
Graycliff Crystal Torpedo - Great cigar, awesome burn, nice nutty/oaky and toothy flavor
Diamond Crown Maximus Toro - Also an awesome cigar, was really impressed with the nutty flavor of this cigar. Delivered tons of smoke and was very pleased with this cigar. It won't be my last Maximus. Thanks to the BOTL who traded this with me.
Savinelli Churchill - Was gifted this by a BOTL at the B&M, very subtle flavors with a lot of earthiness to it. Very classy cigar but the draw was a little hard.
El Baton Double Torpedo- New Nicaraguan puro from Fuente. Great price and delivers the same flavors as the hemingway. Definitely looking to pick this up as a daily smoke. Probably going to smoke another one of these soon.
Wednesday:
Don Lino Africa Kuro - Havent had one in a while. Had about 8 months on it and was fantastic.
Pirates Gold Maduro Corona
Thursday:
Double Happiness Corona
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
Friday:
CAO Cx2 - Not sure how old this was, but it has been sitting in my humi for a long time. It was pretty damn good. Gona pick up a fiver next time Im at the B&M.
Ive got a Napaless Warrior for the ride home today, and not sure what I'll be having tonight yet.
Enjoyed a CAO Sopranos Boss last evening. I had accidentally left this in my dry box a few days too many, so I was a bit worried about it being too dry and almost put it back in to choose something else, but the cigar was just so damn inviting. I kind of screwed up the cap, but it was a great smoke! Burned even throughout, never harsh, easy draw, no spice though, but very nice.
Thanks to a very generous BOTL on the board.
I stomped another scorpion last night.

Cuestra Rey Stanfords Cameroon #9 in my hands right now :smiley20:
CAO LX2 Corona Gorda...... aren't bad, I think i like them. I can taste that little bit of cameroon they put into the blend - a very subtle sweetness, with a little pop from the x2 ligero.
AF Hemingway Signature
Just put a Onyx Reserve to shame
Weather finally got good enough to go out for a cigar (albeit, only for a small cigar... still got another month or so before I can break out the big ones!). I had a Leoninos Corojito tubo - a nice little cigar that hit the spot. I'm not usually one to classify smokes with the 'food terms,' but I was literally tasting cherries with this one. I may pick up some more in the future.

I enjoyed an AF Anejo 77 last night, after a hectic weekend of Valentines Day and Mardi Gras parades. Good stuff. I've never been able to get a box-pressed cigar to burn evenly.
Indeed it was.Quote:

Weather was a little better today, so I risked a bigger cigar - a Nording Torpedo. Draw was a bit loose, but otherwise I really enjoyed it. Particularly for the price - I think I dropped $4 for that thing (although the price may be going up with that forced pay raise in Honduras...)
CAO Criollo Mancha

Sunday and today: Johnny O
These things just keep getting better :smiley1:
La Gloria Cubana Serie R #5.
smoked a CAO Soprano Associate on Saturday.
Anyone have an opinion on this stick? I found the beggining very bland, but the end was super tasty. Not worth the $14 I paid, maybe half of that though.
Smoked another El Baton double torpedo - love this cigar although the cap cracked on me when I cut it. Still smoked great and had great flavor throughout with plenty of smoke to go with it.
Also smoked a Johnny-O Mag 50 - pleasant cigar, probably should have smoked this first but the flavor was still smooth and delicious. Thanks DG for putting together the box split :smiley20:
Illusione -88- with coffee - it's a good day!
Smoking a Graycliff Crystal Torpedo right now. Pleasant smoke, always love the boutique style cigar with its awesome draw and pleasant flavors. Plenty of smoke too.
Smoked a Sol Cubano Sumatra - Great smoke, loved the deep sweet flavors of the sumatra wrapper/leaf. A little tight for my liking but definitely not bad. Nubbed this one.
Probably going to smoke a few more before the nights over. Great weather today and a good day to spend at the local B&M
Smoked a Isla Del Sol that was gifted to me at the B&M. It was a super smooth smoke but didn't dig the flavored cap.
Then smoked a Punch Champion. Tasted like most of the Punches, had a really cool figurado shape but tunneled and corrected itself in the last 3rd
Last smoke was a San Cristobal Monumento. Wish I saved this smoke for a clean pallet. I had some food before I smoked it but it didn't taste like anything. Great smoke though, awesome construction and tons of smoke. Have another waiting in my humi that I'll try with a clean pallet.

Last night I had a La Flor Dominicana Limitado III - I've decided that Lito Gomez and I just don't have the same tastes in cigars.
Started with a PL Montecarlo - a classic cigar with coffee.
Main event was an Oliva V Torp - too much spice for me. My mouth is numb. I was hoping to work in a third stick tonight, but I don't think I'll be able to taste anything :smiley29:. Awesome construction, as with all Oliva's.
Friday night I had a Camancho 1962, double corona & and a Sol Cubana
Tonight I had a Fonsenca Habana reserve. That one started off very smooth & 1 dimensional, and ended in a complex (and still smooth) bouquet of flavor.
Awesome!
Will
Had the reverse engineered PAM torpedo from Funky. Good cigar, pretty dead on for the flavor but didn't get a whole lot of smoke. Not bad for a $6 stick
Also smoked an Oliva G Figurado, great smoke and burn... I can always depend on Oliva
Then I smoked a LFD Chisel Maduro - awesome smoke... I like these as much as I like my Camachos.
Smoked a Graycliff 1666 Presidente yesterday while watching the first half of "Che" -- nice cigar, decent pic (so far) -- still mulling over my choices for today.
Friday I had a Partagas Black Classico and an CT Signature toro. Saturday I had a Cruzado Dantes.
I was celebrating last night so I smoked a Padron 1926 80th Anniversary followed by a Padron 1926 No 2 Maduro...a good night...
Perdomo Habano
Smoked an Illusione 68. This little cigar packs a punch. Awesome cigar, gratuitous amounts of smoke and flavor to go with it. Very toothy cigar with some very complex flavor. I would pick up more of these if they were easier to find.
Smoked a Graycliff Chateau Gran Cru Presidente - Awesome mild - medium smoke. Sweet flavors, couldn't really discern which ones but pleasant nonetheless.
Smoked a Padilla 1932 Churchill - Also a top notch cigar with wood/oaky flavors. Medium to full bodied with a classic flavor comparable to the PAM IMHO. Wished that I didn't have so many duds in my box. Had to clip off an inch off the top because the wrapper cracked. Had a few others with cracked foots.
Montecristo Platinum vintage 99
Tasty!
Monticristo White ~ not sure the vitola maybe 6x50
Very good
Will
Smoked a BTL, wasn't that impressed.:smiley13:
Rich
Padron 6000 natural. Great draw and plentiful smoke!
I remembered i had an Isla Del Sol in my humi when i read Silencei2 smoked one
Nice draw, uneven burn and a little too sweet
