Vegas de Santiago No.1 - This is a Small production Costa Rican cigar - Wonderful
I washed it down with globs of Woodchuck Seasonal Hard cider. Spring 2010.
Smoked an RP sungrown lancero while walking the mutts last night. I'm glad I only have 3 of these fuckers left. I like the sungrown, but this vitola has been a pain in the ass through the whole box.....tight or plugged, cracked wrappers....just a regular pain in the ass.
I thought the little sticker on the back of the plastic wrapper had said Robusto so I looked. It doesn't, all it says is "5000 Maduro. It is about the same guage as the H Upmann Reserve Maduro Robusto beside it in my humi, but it is noticably longer (right around 6" in length). Would I be correct in guessing that's why it's called an "extra"?Quote:

All that said, last night I had that Room 101 corona & a CT 59 50yr short churchill.

Tatuaje Havana
Nice cigar :smiley4:
Today's morning smoke was a Opus X the robusto size one. I was never crazy about the first 1/2 inch on these. Great taste one puff then bitter the next. After the 1/2 mark it's a nice cigar that I enjoy all the way down to the nub.
Great way to start the early morning off.

Cugine Maduro Robusto
A few puffs into a Rocky Patel Cuban blend robusto with a glass of the ol' Glenlivet.
Gran Habano 3 Siglos--Pretty good, but I like the Vintage 2002 better.

Hell yeah man, Buffalo Trace is good stuff.:smiley37:
Gurka Sherpa Toro
Por Larranaga Panetela - Habanos
6 months in the humidor have done wonders for this cigar.
Box date of OCT 09. Six months ago they where a bit harsh.
Now cool volume of coffee, cream & chocolate.
Drink - Red Breast Irish Whiskey
I'm going to an event at our local B&M for the new line of La Aroma De Cuba. I guess that's what I'll be smoking this afternoon at least! Has anyone tried these yet?
Yes. I enjoy them.Quote:

Last night, a buddy and me took down a pair of Anejo #49's. Fantastic, long, and meaty smoke:smiley20:

Flor de Gonzalez Selection Corona - Ugly as hell. Tasted very much like a Gispert Maduro
and smoked fairly well - Although I had a lot to drink by that point.
Can you compare with the original release of the My Father?Quote:

Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve - Perfecto style. I don't know the name and could not find it
on any cigar site. This cigar was lost on the bottom of a humidor and forgotten for about two years.
Flor D Gonzalez Selection - Extra Corona. Not a bad tasting cigar. If they put more effort into the wrapper and band the would have a good product. Wrapper is wrinkled and off color. Band is adhired with Industrial adhesive. First time I have ever seen this. Most use a vegtable based glue that dries well, dry. This is the type of glue that stays tacky and can be stuck back together. Getting the band off will with out a doubt cause wrapper tears. This cigar was a freebie from Famous.

Rocky Patel Cuban Blend Robusto - Maduro wrapper
Always an enjoyable smoke after a long day....

All off which were good flavors with the last 1/4 or so being the least interesting. The originals are start to finish a great peppery experience with immaculate construction. I wish I could afford to smoke either of these lines as a daily or regular rotation....:smiley20:Quote:
