Drew Estates Undercrown and La Gloria Cubana
Smoked a Drew Estates Undercrown Robusto about 530 this morning. Great draw and burn. That was it, though. Completely flavorless.
This afternoon, I smoked a La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiale in the Habanero size. It was really nice all the way through until 2" from the end when the wrapper completely disintegrated. Man, was it ugly undressed. Made a huge mess in my lap, too (I drive a truck for a living). It still drew fine, though, so I nubbed it and shed a tear when it was gone...
Gurkha Warlord and Perdomo Habano
Six pack of three Floyds Gumball head wheat ale - $10
Cigars collected throughout the summer - $200
Round trip ticket to Phoenix for the wife to visit a friend, leaving me to sit on the patio every night this week smoking cigars and drinking beer unfettered - Priceless
Saturday - Gurkha Warlord in a 6"x60. A troublesome smoke. I had to touch it up constantly for not much payoff.
Sunday - Perdomo Habano Corojo Gordo. A slow starter flavor-wise, but about an inch and a half in became very pleasant and maintenance free clear to the nub.
The jury is still out for me on the 60 ring gauge. A liitle hard to handle when they get short.
