Padron 3000M with coffee
I can't compare to a Maduro. I've had 3 Natural, 1 Sungrown and no Maduro. I like the Naturals and the SunGrown. I would have to have a few more back to back to even give a fair comparison of the natural and sungrown. Plus, I'm a little partial to cameroon wrappers which the naturals have. You can't go wrong though. Look what kingbeefy and BowHuntnHoosier said about the SunGrown. I'm sure these guys have smoked more of the sungrowns than myself.Quote:

Community Dark Roast? Nice... You must be from the south. Love that coffee. It's my staple. TheQuote:

Although, one must be careful what he asks for North of the Mason-Dixon line, as the term "decent coffee" can be vastly misinterpreted by someone who has never even heard of Community Dark Roast. I've learned to make room in my suitcase for 3 pounds or so (enough to enjoy, as well as share with the uninitiated) when I travel.Quote:

That sounds yummy. I may have to get you to send some (if you're willing of course) to my daughter in Portland, OR next June so I can try it when I go there to visit.Quote:

I've been drinking Timmie's Dark Roast lately. The dark roast has a nice strong flavor without ever being bitter. It pairs well with any cigar and I'll me drinking some with the AF Shark (my last until the split gets here) I'm going to smoke this afternoon...........assuming it warms up enough for the heater in my trailer to run...........LOL
Smoked a Te-Amo #4 yesterday with my coffee. :smiley1:

This morning:
- E.P. Carrillo INCH No. 62 Natural w/ Community Dark Roast
(Excellent coffee, not impressed with the smoke)
This evening:
- Probably nothing, if this crazy wind doesn't die down...
(Wishing I'd picked something better this morning) :smiley18:
Cool, that's very kind of you SPEED. I will most certainly PM you the addy when we're almost ready to go. If I'm not mistaken, we'll be leaving for Portland the first Saturday in June. I'll bring a 1 lb bag of the Tim Hortons dark roast to send you back.Quote:

Awesome! Sounds like an even swap deal to me! Enjoy that AF SHARK, I'm a little jealous, they're extremely scarce as of late... Can't complain much though, I was fortunate enough to have enjoyed one a few days ago, and I still have one more in the humi. :smiley1:Quote:

I usually get the French Roast (Dark)... Columbian which is smoother compared to the French Roast. It is really not a fair comparison with the "French Roast Dark" and the "Columbian Supremo" as they are totally different profiles. Both good coffee though. If you have a Brookshires near you see if they have the whole beans section. If not, I will gladly send you some of each of the two I mentioned. Matter of fact, PM me your address and Santa will see to it that you get some of each. :smiley37:Quote:

Looks like these are getting hard to come by. Damn.. I say DAYAM good smoke. I have 5 left in two sizes. I should have grabbed the whole box back in August at my local B&M.
Wood (hickory like) and white pepper.
Chocolate chewy raisin. Full bodied in the first third. This is my third one. VSG type of profile to me.

No Brookshires anywhere close that I am aware of, but I'm quite a bit further South than you are. If I ever happen across one though, I'll be sure to check out the whole bean coffee section.
I like receiving gifts as much as the next guy, but also enjoy giving, so no anonymous bombs, and expect a return package! That being said, PM inbound! And thanks!
About the coffee thread... I'm not sure, I'll have to check. But if not, we should start one!
No offense intended, but you really don't want a coffee thread. If you like what you are drinking now, then just keep on enjoying it. The rabbit hole to great coffee can get very deep.
There was a coffee guy that used to post here, but I think we made him mad or sumptin'.
LOL, I forgot all about him. He was way over-priced for what he was trying to sell if I remember correctly.Quote:

I think I hear a Family Reserve calling out to me from inside that humidor over there...
Nubbed.Quote:

Great smoke. I had a few ESG's some years back. I would smoke another for sure. Enjoy your Padron! This feels like a two cigar night for me. I'll be back. I'm thinking about a San Cristobal to wind it down.
Ended up deciding upon a '64 Corona M instead of the FR, but nubbed mine as well!
Good Cameroon flavors.

Nice! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
This evening I had an AF Hemingway Short Story Maduro w/ coffee that definitely wasn't Community
(Folger's medium roast or something) not horrible, but not great either... Excellent smoke, of course!
Ortega Serie D No. 12 Maduro - Birthday smoke number 1 - Thanks man! You know who you are. :)

1st third says: Wow. Smooth smooth smooth. This cigar is totally different from any other AF that I've smoked. 8 to 10 years age on the Ecuadorian sun grown wrapper works. Draw is perfect. Creamy. Excellent. Not the typical power of an AF. I think mild to the mild side of medium.

2nd third says: Sooo smooth. This cigar screams "retrohale". One of the most pleasant retrohales I've experienced. Light nuts and cedar. This is a perfect morning cigar. Burn so far is A+. I taste citrus and cocoa but not over powering. I'm looking up box prices now.
25 count box
$185.00 @ www.holts.com
$160.00 @ http://cigarplace.biz/

I think this is my 7000th post.
I'm having an ErDM ~ Choix Supreme tonight with some Lagunitas Hop Stoopid.
Thanks for the years of fun and learning everyone. I would also like to take this moment to reflect on a very important lesson I learned from Cinda: "Refrain from getting wasted on Xmas Eve....cause you have to get up and do a lot of stuff, and that's what Xmas day is for!"
