Don Diego Aniversario Lord Rothschild:smiley37:

Litto Gomez Small Batch No1 Especial :smiley41:

Plasencia Nestico's - small cigar that has become MUCH better after a year or so.
Partagas 8-9-8 Varnished - This is from a fresh box that was bought in Cuba. Underwhelming. First third - meh. Second third - getting interesting. Last third - interesting, but nothing near the mythical status given this cigar. Banished to long-term storage. I do wonder if these are fakes, though.
Bolivar Short Bolivar RE AP - The first two out of the cab smoked hot, fast, and not very good. This last one is a totally different story. Definitely Bolivar, but nowhere near the best Boli for the money.

Gurkha Legend (torp.), RP Vintage 90 sec.,sunday and Oliva Master blend#3 today

The little Nestico's aren't bad when aged a little. They have pretty much replaced all the Short Story's and Special G's that I went through. Perfect for a quick smoke or early morning with coffee.

Oliva Serie G. Nice way to relax this evening... :smiley41:

Romeo y Julieta Bully while working on my motorcycle

Padron Delicias Maduro- this cigar was mistakenly shipped in the place of my usual 2000 Maduro. Same gnarly construction but much more powerful than the 2000 making me thankful for the large meal I just finished. Tasty enough to smoke down to the nub.

Last night while playing poker I smoked the following two cigars:
Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto (ISOM version)
Don Kiki Limited Reserve Brown Label Figurado

La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial El Jocko Maduro

Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve

5 Vegas Miami - awesome smoke. Probably the best pick-me-up for the day I had!:smiley20:

A Bahia Blu Torpedo at 1:10AM.:smiley20:

Ramon Allones Gran Corona

I'll be smoking a CAO Brazilia Anaconda this evening. I've enjoyed Brazilias in the past, but I've never tried the Anaconda size. I'm guessing it'll take a while to smoke this monster.

Welcome from Central Texas. I would eat first, stay off ladders and other high places and not drive for 2 hours thereafter.

Thanks from Kansas City! I'm not sure what concerns me more...the huge cigar, or the amount of Scotch I can drink during the smoke time.

Welcome from northwest Louisiana.

Smoked a Graycliff Crystal the other day.

Perdomo Reserve Criollo. Good, not great, smoke. :smiley41:
