Today's smokes......

Padron 3000 Maduro
Gurkha Napalease Warrior
Anejo 46:smiley4: twas nubbed good!

Padilla Obsidian - great smoke, but horribly uneven burn

JLP - 2nd one in a row that was plugged. Had to throw the first one away.
601 Maduro - was amazing. I had just finished a huge steak which made it that much better. I might try eating steaks before every cigar, see if it makes em better.

Excellent plan. I usually eat a steak before eating dinner.

Last night-GR Specials Black Label Churchill

Oliva V Serie Churchill Extra

Graycliff Double Espresso

I was underwhelmed by the first two of these I smoked, but this one made me grab a toothpick:smiley5:, and I'm smoking it down to the last 32nd of an inch. Defuckinglicious.

Tatuaje VI Almirantes..........:smiley20:

Aside from the Tatuaje earlier,
Nub Habano Topedo..............wow, this things got some zing.
Aurora 1495 Robusto......great smoke.

Edge Lite while sipping Paklum Tips Silver Needles White tea.

A marriage made in heaven.:smiley33:

I prefer :smiley15: now.

Have all but lost my enjoyment for milder smokes.:smiley40:

Saturday:
Review Sick #1
Review Stick #2 both from Corvin

Sunday:
Bolivar Tubo gifted to me by ashauler
Gurkha Black Puro

Mid-afternoon:

Legend Series Yellow Label - Don Pepin

Significant wrapper and burn problems. I've tried to convince myself I like these. Good price. Rave reviews.

They're an average stick that doesn't hold a candle to what Pepin can do.

I'd rather smoke fewer cigars than buy these for a price break.

I think a lot of people have the same feelings on the Yellow Label, I know I do. Don't give up on the Legends Series, though. Try the Orange Label by Rocky Patel. One of my favorites.

Thanks, that's good to know, and not surprising. I have smoked the Orange Label and found it enjoyable, but it has been a while. I have one remaining, so will smoke it this week. As for tonight, I'm going to ensure success and cap off the weekend with a Gurkha Legend Aniversario Perfecto.

smoked a 5 Vegas A tonight. It was my first Maduro smoke. I really liked it. definitely something i'm gonna smoke again.

Well, the Legend Aniversario Perfecto hit the spot, but the Gurkha Legend Torpedo remains my favorite.

last night: Rocky Patel American Market Selection

Hoyo de Tradicion epicure after lunch. Fuller bodied than I had expected.
