I tried to smoke two of these. Let me tell you how I really feel, without holding anything back:
The first one was plugged tighter than (fill in the blank with something really tight). I tossed it into the dark before I thought about cutting it open. Oh, well.
So... (hardhead that I am) I dug out another one. It was tight but not plugged. One of the worst smokes ever. Moontrance rated 43 on my scale. This VS rated a 48. Nasty. If you like 'em I have 3 more.
ramon allones specially selected
Smoked my first Champagne today. Awesome smoke. Personally, I think the 80 rating is waaaaay low. All of the Perdomos I have smoked have been awesome (and I don't overuse that word - even though I've already used it twice in this post ). I have a few Cameroon Torps in the La Tradicion line resting in the humi and will give one of them a try in the next couple of days. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
This last weekend I grabbed some Camacho corojos before heading out of town. They were toros, w/ bands, and one torp, unbanded.
This is a cigar I've not really gotten around to before, but I gotta say, that while I've enjoyed Gran Habano #5's and others, these were outstanding. They were a full, rich experience that IMO, the Punch Rares just don't get to. These are going in my regular rotation.
I had a cheapie $2 smoke last night. A little Fonseca 2-2 Maduro. It was the first 2-2 I have tried and it really hit the spot in the short amount of time I had to smoke. I am going to snag some more of these up for the price. A great mild cigar.:smiley20:
Just got in from a having a CAO Italia, pretty darn good. the burns on my fingers can vouch for that.
great smoke. even burn, smooth as, and went well with the brewed coffee for breakfast. not great on reviewing smokes yet, but nothing time wont fix :smiley20:
Hemingway Signature Natural. -- Just ok in my opinion perhaps I am learning that this line except for the madro versions does not really do it for me :smiley22:
Since my last:
Monte #2
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Toro
5 Vegas Panatela......:smiley20:
All I can say is wow...that was a good cigar! Burned even, never got hot, had a nice mild-medium taste to it! I can see why its #1 on CI top ten brands sold! :smiley20: Took me about 30 minutes to smoke that size, so its perfect for a quick smoke!
