Tasting notes?
:smiley36::smiley36:
I had an Excalibur Dark Knight II this morning.
Is this hinting at a dog rocket? :smiley22:Quote:

I can assure you, I tasted notes.
Oliva Serie G Special G Cameroon
Avalon Honeyboy Edwards
Consuergra #84
:smiley37:
Liga Privada #9 Robusto - Good smoke. Great construction, burn, and draw. These need 6 more months in the humi to round out a bit.
Gurkha Connecticut Reserve Robusto
Nice mild smoke but not my cup of tea.
Last night I tried a Cubao No. 4 Maduro - I had it with Baileys, which was fantastic.

Oliva Serie V Belicoso
Padron 1926 Mad. #6
Last night at the bar while watching my Yanks pull out a win I enjoyed a Savinelli Liga Especial Torpedo.:smiley4:
Cubao Lancero
Oliva Serie V Belicoso
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 - an older one, before the taste (blend?) changed. Age hasn't really improved this cigar, and this one was past its prime. Just about my last one.
El Titan de Bronze Gran Reserva Maduro - kinda bland when bought, but after a few months, it has become a very nice mid-day smoke. Booked construction, but no burn or draw issues.
Bolivar Short Bolivar RE Asia-Pacific - a rarity - a loosely-rolled Cuban. Very easy to over-heat and subsequently turn bitter, a pain in such a short cigar (about 4 1/4"). Has to be sipped and is then rewarding right down to the nub - I keep thinking this tobacco mixed into a Padron 1926 would yield a cigar better than either. Probably going to go into a sick period over the winter, but still full of young tobacco strength - I think I'm going to lie down now :smiley9:.
Rocky Patel Edge Lite
5Vegas Miami that I got in the Newbie Sampler...I was waiting for a full 2 hours to really settle in on this one, and boy am I glad I did. This is one NICE stick, thanks James, you did wonderful with this one.

I tried a Tatuaje Regio last night with some Baileys on the rocks and it was pretty bland the whole way through. I was surprised because the guy at my B&M said it was medium-full flavor and maybe I am too new at this but I didn't get any flavors out of the cigar at all.
What is good to know is that Friday night when I enjoyed the Cubao No. 4 with Baileys I thought the drink was contributing the majority of the sweet cocoa and creamy tastes - now I think it was more from the Cubao (or at least paired better).

Smoke the same cigars again, but this time try water as your beverage. It will help you determine what is the cigar.....what is the drink.....and what is the combination of the two.Quote:

Yesterday - Excalibur #3 - Not great but any means but it reminded me of one of my first smokes. Had a tough draw but I liked it because it still had plent of smoke.
Tonight - CAO MX2 Beli
Last night-Rocky Patel Rosado Robusto
Tonight-to be determined
LFD Limitada IV
CAO MX2 Man what a nice full flavored stick.
Last night I tried a La Cuna Bin No. 85 Robusto (light wrapper - I assume Natural) - good smoke, didn't get bitter and didn't get hot at the end either. I think I prefer the Maduro wrappers though.

It sure was. I'd been choking down so many dog rockets lately I forgot what a good smoke was. I enjoyed it so much I indulged in a second cigar in one night and had a Partagas Decadas LE 1998 No.2Quote:
