Some kind of a maduro Padron. It may be a 3000, not sure, got it in a trade. All I know for sure is it is good. Enjoying a Depot Street Freight Hopper IPA with it. Very nice.
It's actually a Forbidden X and i've never been overly impressed with Forbidden X. The Lost City tastes very different than any Forbidden X I've ever smoked - a very nice spiciness to it, but not overwhelming. The same kind of spice as in an Opus, but definitely a fuller flavor. It's the first Forbidden X I'd want to smoke again (I actually afterwards smoked a Lost City Lancero - I did not want to put it down!)Quote:

I've had a fantastic week of cigar smoking! Wish it would not have ended...

Enjoying a LFD Ligero Mysterio Oscuro with a Deschutes Red Chair NWPA out in the sun.
Thanks badwhale.
La Aurora Cameroon Lancero
Montecristo Classic Churchill :smiley4:
La Sirena Mermaid with a Brooklyn Pilsner.
Friday - Bobalu Texas Select Corona -good
Saturday - Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Natural Corona Grande - good
Sunday - Padron Family Reserve 45 Years Maduro -if you've smoked one, I don't need to tell you. If you haven't, you probably should. Worth the over $20 price? Not everyday, but, occasionally. Today, though, yes.
Friday:
Cuban Stock Royal Selection (Torpedo)
Saturday:
Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro
Sunday:
My Father Flor de las Antillas
Monday:
Today is going to be an Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Sungrown day
Does the Antillas live up to cigar of the year? I bought a box of AB, last years cigar of the year , and was not impressed. We do not have the Antillas in Ontario yet but I'm heading down to Florida come May and will hopefully get to try one.Quote:

Enjoying a My Father #4 Lancero.

Cool. Did you put one of those "cigar of the year" sticks in the PIF you owe TheGreekTitan? Have you sent it yet? I'm sure you have since you said it would fly on the 27th......and you have time to post.Quote:

I thought the Antillas was milder than the My Father le Bijou 1922's. It was tasty enough, but I'm not convinced I'd buy more. If I buy more My Father's it would likely be the le Bijou's.
There are threads for you to try to sell your cigars - and this one is not it. Not a very classy move... :smiley2:Quote:

Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend Robusto Grande - cheap, but I always like 'em. And I never have any burn issues with them.

Had an unholy cocktail last night and now enjoying an AF GRAN RESERVA green label. Wow talk about flavors both are just great.
