Mid-afternoon; Thompson Phoenix Natural
Late tonight; Indian Tabac Super Fuerte natural :smiley20:
I tried to enjoy a Bolivar Belicoso but 1/3 of it was packed way to tight... After fighting with it for an hour I sparked a Hoy de Montero petite robusto. No problems there :smiley20:
Friday's smokes:
Padron 1926 #1 maduro
Diamond Crown Maximus #4 Toro
Davidoff Millennium Blend Robusto
got a little tipsy (ok, maybe really drunk) last night and couldn't finish my sancho panza caballero. i've never not been able to finish a cigar. so, i lit up the second half this morning with my espresso. first time i've ever relit a cigar. it was smokable, but not very. i feel like i wasted the half i smoked this morning becuase it tasted so much better last night.
One fine bolivar petit corona. At a family bbq :smiley14:
alright, finally decided to have the montecristo le cigar des arts cigar, getting ready to smoke it cuz found out boxing is on tonight woo. :smiley20: :smiley37:
Yeccccchhhhhhhhh!!!! :smiley11:
Very few cigars survive a relight of just half an hour let alone overnight!
What are you ? A sadist?! :smiley4:
I don't care what anyone says. Once a cigar has heated up then gone cold and then relit, it changes dramatically. ANY cigar. Some are OK for a short time, but changed. Sharper. Most taste like a campfire.
Was alright, nothing great. Then again it was a little rough lookingQuote:

I smoked a Quai d'Orsay Gran Corona on the way to the Judas Priest concert tonight and an H. Upmann Magnum 46 on the way home.
I didn't have time to finish the Qd'O since I only live 25 minutes away from the Mohegan Sun where the show was.
I thought about relighting what was left but I didn't want to take the heat from MMAB :smiley36:
After smoking half a RP 1990 I let it go out. The next morning I sparked it and I have to agree with what you descibe, although you make it sound like a bad thing. I enjoyed it, what a wake-me-up :smiley37:Quote:

In smoking this one, I had no idea what nations contributed to the blend, but I accurately predicted the presence of Mexican leaf in the filler. :smiley14:
Quote:
The taste is medium to full-bodied, powered mainly by the H-2000 wrapper, accompanied by a complex, five-country blend of Dominican, Honduran, Mexican, Nicaraguan, and Costa Rican tobaccos.
****Now let's not get this thread moved o.k.? :smiley37:
Had a Padron 6000 today. Just wanted to say that. I love those! :smiley37:
H.Upmann Robusto :smiley37:
also had an edge corojo toro and a padron maduro 6000 yesterdayQuote:

Here's a couple of sources, if you're interested...
Rocky's Cigars
Nick's Cigar Worl
Smoked a Punch Petit Coronation Tubo this AM. Full of that ISOM twang. :smiley37:

Sorry guys, had to do it... It was a curiosity thing more than anything else....
I had one of the new Drew Estates Java "Waif". What a strange looking cigar!!! If you look down on it, it looks like a pox pressed cigar. When you pick it up and look at it sideways, it is wafer then.... Very strange...
And I should have known from the shape it was going to have draw problems... The flavor was OK - not like the robusto size (for some odd reason). Thankfully I only bought one (at $4.00!). I did buy a few of the robusto size and put them away for momma....
And I picked up a box of the Griffin's XXI today!!! I'm telling you - if you can find them latch on to them!!! This is an incredible smoke for roughly $8-9 each (in the 10 count box).
Returned to an old favorite - the Partagas Black Label Clasico. My lips are still oily with taste. Delightful. :smiley20:
Went to my new favorite-Indian Tabac Super Fuerte natural. yummy!. :smiley37: :smiley37:
