Started off with a Gurkha Legend Torpedo. I was not very impressed, taste was so-so and the burn was horrid. My second smoke I went with a Oliva Series G Special G based on DeeDubya's recomendation of a smoke similar to a Short Story. It was great! :smiley20: Maybe I'm making it out to be more than it is after my miserable Gurkha, but I definately will be smoking one again.

Keep in mind, the one you smoked has had a year or so on it (I believe last release of '07). It should have mellowed out, but not that severely.
Smoke that other one....I'll smoke one at the Herf as well and see.
A Maduro Serie G? I recently had my first Serie G Cameroon and it was a pretty solid smoke. I would occasionally get a bad puff and it was little light on the weight, but for the price it's a good value.Quote:

CAO you got me this time shame on you, never again though. I think I paid 3 for the cigar and 11 for the name sopranos
And today I'm on a La Gloria Cubana Serie R and its kickin my ass! Been on it 2 hours and still a 1/4 stick left
Sir Winston Churchill No.10 by Davidoff. What a great early am - mid morning cigar. Though, I am very partial to Davidoff.

Smoked a Fumadore earlier, now i'm well into a Cuesta Rey Stanfords Cameroon #9 :smiley20:
Alec Bradley Trilogy Exotic Maduro.
Made by Henke Kelner, uses a Brazilian maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan/Columbian filler. My step-sister's husband's favourite $3 smoke. Pretty damn good alternative to the CAO Brazilia, although my favourite NC $3 cigar remains the Gran Habano Corojo #5 (which isn't a mad).
Promptly had a Indian Tabac Maduro from my newbie sampler.
Good to the last drop.

Just had a C.A.O. Criollo Pampas - initially had a tight draw, but that loosened up about half way through (either that or I got used to it...). Pretty good then, and certainly lasted longer than I expected from such a little guy. I didn't mind in this case since the weather was (relativly) good outside, and will be my last opportunity to get a smoke in before the weather turns nasty for a good week...
