Had an AVO No. 2 last night that I really enjoyed. Thanks to the MR V for that, as AVOs were never really my thing before. But I am enjoying them now quite a bit!

drew estate feral... should be a good smoke.
Padron 1964 Exclusivo followed by a Punch Uppercut Ometepe

Had a last minute change of heart and had a Vegas 5 yesterday afternoon instead of the Churchill. Thanks for that Nate, it was a tasty cigar!
I think I'm going to have that Churchill today though.....
Partagas Black Label Corona. Only one so far, but this is my favorite vitola--easy draw and not too big of a RG but it lets you know it's there.
Diamond Crown Maximus
A drew estate Java in corona, I like this stick a lot though it's not as complex as some of my favorites. Good cigar for a change of pace and relaxing quick smoke.
How was it? I bought one a while back but haven't sparked it yet.Quote:

I'm still searching for good golf course smokes myself. So far, I think the favorite with myself as well as my buddies is the Perdomo Fresco Maduro Toro for around $3 each.Quote:

The problem with smoking on the course, for me, is that I always end up walking. I don't really enjoy walking and smoking, because it seems like I become more worried about the cigar not going out on me, than my next shot. I usually take a RP Sun Grown out with me because my local B&M has them for stupidly below MSRP. The Sumatra was a treat to start of Summer right. :smiley20:Quote:

Oh, and I enjoyed a nice year old AVO Heritage Short Robusto today while I was grilling. Smooth perfection!
Walking? You can do that on a golf course? How do you carry your cooler full of beer? :smiley36:Quote:

If you like lighter smokes, don't get the maduro. They make a natural which is good. I like the natural on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I don't smoke many mild smokes personally. And, on the golf course with the wind and open air I always go for a strong smoke. But, that's what makes the world go round. To each his own, and smoke what you like. :smiley20:Quote:

I'll buy a few and check them out on the 19th hole.:smiley37:Quote:

I have heard good things about these. I must say it has started off nicely.
JdN Antano. First JdN for me. Really liked this cigar. Smoked it after assembling one of those boxed gazebos with a buddy. Will definitely be picking up some more of those.

I'm up for a box split if you can get enough at the right price! :smiley2:Quote:

Wifey's gone to the big city to do some work at their main office so I enjoyed a Padron 3000 Robusto on the deck last night. Just me, the dogs, the hummingbirds and some evening sunshine on the longest day of the year.

Excellent little bugger with a couple years of age on it.
Caon Daytona ~ Robusto
Hemingway Signature
Padron 1926 gifted by Cody. Thanks man, this is one heel of a smoke, the hype is valid.
A thing of beauty is what I smoked today I tell ya. Thank you very much, you know who. Excellent!!!! Smoked even better than it looked. :smiley20:

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Padron is always a quality product.Quote:

One awesome cigar.
Padron 1964 Anni Natural.
Tatuaje Reserva
This is actually alot like the ISOMs I've had. The flavor, aroma, crooked burn, tight draw and all. Draw isn't unbearably tight and the burn could be the wind here, otherwise this is a great smoke so far.
If it starts running up one side and you think it's wind, roll the cigar halfway around in your hand and if it is the wind, it'll even the burn out for you.Quote:

I had a Padron the night before last, the Churchill on Sunday, and Saturday I smoked a Camacho Corojo Churchill
Had a Reinado habanito petite corona. Was rated 92 in Cigar Journal. Great spice and rich flavors on it...
Padron 2000
Amazing draw. Burn was fantastic. Nice quick smoke. Aroma was overpowering. Nice nutty, earthy taste.
My Father. Great blend.:smiley20:
I had an Imperiale robusto from Leon Jiminez tonight. I'm new to all this but that's what it said on the wrapper. I'm trying a variety of cigars and this was in the bunch. I wasn't too pleased with it.
Enjoyed aAttachment 3054 Reinado robusto...
Do you ever smoke anything else?Quote:

Two this week, my first cigars of 2012. Discovered my liquor store has a wall humidor stuffed in the back. Bought an H. Upmann Connoisseur and a CAO Gold churchill. Smoked the Connoisseur on Saturday after some great Maryland crabs and was unimpressed with it. The CAO was fine, though, on Tuesday. I wonder if the first one was just my underdeveloped palate; my wife took a few puffs and claimed to taste/smell coffee grounds, when I just got flavorless smoke.
