Rate cigars you've recently smoked

While I love the high dollar stogies my newest everday smoke is Trinidad y Cia ( corona ). I smoke 3-6 a day every day and found this one from JR's to fit the bill.( I think their less than 15$ for 20 ) It's a sandwich cigar that burns great with a smooth flavor. As some of you might remember I smoke 3-6 stogies a day and for my wallet I have to have an inexpensive daytime smoke. After the day is over I get a cold one or a three finger JACK and smoke a better one. I like Baccrat and Punch. I While I prefer them there is no way I can huff 35-45$ a day. Sorry guys, i'm just a working man with expensive taste, but I will make do when I have to. GOD bless ya'll who can afford to smoke the good stuff reguraly.


Go for it Rick

AF 858 - 90
mild cigar, wonderful aroma

AVO #2 - 90
cedary and spicy, mild

AF Hemingway Short Story - 90
tight draw, good flavor

SRO (Sun Ripened Oscuros) - 91
excellent mild cigar. thick heavy smoke

La Aroma de Cuba - 91
medium-bodied, not too complex but flavorful

Casa Blanca Robusto - 89
mild, like a macanudo.

St. Dupont Reserva Especial Robusto - 90
thick, dense, grainy smoke that i loved. earthy.

Carlos Torano Signature Perfecto - 90
deep, dark coffee and cocoa flavors.

I smoked a Don Lino Africa last night. Was an okay smoke. I would say medium building up to somewhat full at the end. Did not change flavor throughout the smoke. Could not really pickout any specific flavors (see my post - Developing your palate). The burn was very uneven and I had to re-light several times. I would not get another one at the price I payed.

So there is my poor attempt at my very first review. lol. Hope it is alright.

oliva o bold omni - 87

bad draw. about as bad as my flor de canos. a little tighter, i would've threw it away. as it hit the last third, the bad draw was gone, though, and i really enjoyed it after that. i like the maduro better

Partagas Black Maximo - 91
very nice oily oscuro wrapper. medium bodied, with a very clean and mild finish, with loads of black pepper from start to end. sweet taste and aroma as well because of the wrapper. a spice bomb! will get more when i can.

Cubita SMS perfecto - 92
full-bodied, spicy

Macanudo Cafe Hyde Park - 90
very consistent, mild cigar

Oliva Master Blends Churchill - 90
not as full-bodied as i had expected

Bauza Pyramid - 90
medium-bodied, earthy

Vegas Robaina Famosos - 92
nothing quite like Cuban leaf. not too complex but enjoyable.
