Thanks, the long exposure resulted in a two-position cigar, which I thought ended up looking pretty cool.Quote:

Had my first Gurkha last night, the Ancient Warrior. Not bad, but had a weird burn/draw spot in the middle that I had to power through... construction-related I guess.

Yesterday I had a Vieja Hacienda. This is a bundle yard gar for sure. But it was actually good. Kind of a mild to medium smoke with a hint of spicyness. I have the pyramids. This is a common bundle available through CI. Not bad.:smiley20:
Earlier this evening I enjoyed a Savinelli Rico y Raro Toro Grande. This cigar is definitely one of my favorites.:smiley20:
LFD Salamone with a glass of Founders Breakfast Stout
El Baton Robusto
Opus X Perfecxion #4
and i haven't decided on what to have after Christmas dinner
Man O War Torpedo + Dogfish Head 90 Min IPA :smiley21:
Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute
Partagas 150 Churchill
Oliva Serie O Toro
next up ... hrmm... La Aurora barrell aged! These I just discovered and I really like them, a lot.
I got three in a three dollar bin and I love them. If you have not tried an aurora get any size. I personally picked up some #4's.
The aurora's are for those that say they do NOT like flavored smokes but I will venture to say that anyone would like these.
UN-like a Maker's Mark they are not NEAR as sweet and the Barrell aged flavor is just great.
Last night's and this morning's smokes:
Alec Bradley Prensado Corona :smiley20:
Padron 3000 Natural :smiley37:
Room 101, the 213 size. It was a decent smoke.
This evening's smoke was a Black Pearl Morado Torpedo Cameroon accompanied by some Bourbon Barrel Quad from Boulevard Brewing in KC. It was definitely a nice pairing! I'm not a Bourbon drinker, but I would think if somebody made a similar pairing with a nice Bourbon of their choice, rather than this beer, it would be equally enjoyable.
Xmas was a RyJ Escudos, only my second ISOM, & a very tall Macallan 12 :smiley37:
Last night was another tall Macallan and a Torano Virtuoso robusto.
I don't consider these "flavored" cigars in the same vein as Makers Mark at all. BTW, hell of a deal on a box of #4's at CI last time I looked.Quote:

El Triunfador - Stronger than I expected. Needed a few re-lights, but otherwise a good smoke.
Last night, for my birthday smoke, I had the Camacho Liberty along with a few fingers of Jack Daniels black.
Man oh man, what a nice cigar.

I've smoked the many liberty's in the last few years they have come out. What does the box look like this year?
I'm really starting to enjoy living in Europe. Today's smoke is a...
La Gloria Cubana Tainos (ISOM) with a Havana Club 7 Year/Coke.

2005 Camacho Liberty (Scroll almost to the bottom to see)
The 2006 came in a blue coffin Camacho Liberty 2006
The 2007 came in blue and gold coffin Camacho Liberty 2007
This was also the last year that I smoked the liberty line.
They always tried to release these around 4th of July, however, the 2007 were released in Sept if I remember correctly.
Here's the 2008 2008 Liberty
Lastly the 2009 2009 Liberty
They averaged around $13-$15 a smoke.

Note: I see my post after ashauler's posted his saying this liberty wasn't in a coffin.
Very cool, I really didn't know all that, thank you. I had made my comment kind of toungue in cheek, but now I know alot more about the cigar I am becoming infatuated with.Quote:

Bad part is I read it as if it was spelled correctly.
I missed the 2008 because I deployed to Iraq when they released them and the 2009 I was moving to Europe when they finally got those out. I always enjoyed the liberty's.

Wish I could get my hand on a 2004 Liberty. I have 2005-2009 but am missing that first year:smiley6:
Today, I am almost finished with a Don Pepin My Father Robusto. Great cigar!
