Carlos Torano 1959 Exodous ...had to see what all the hype was about. Man this was a tasty treat!
Afternoon: Arturo Fuentes Don Carlos #4
Early Evening: Bolivar '05 Robusto
Late Evening: Padron Anniversary Maduro '64 Torpedo with a very, very large glass of 10 year old Fonseca Tawny Port...
Edited: The morning after the night before syndrome...oh, wooo...was a tad out of it...sorry...
Sorry...threadjack over...

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990. Gotta say, I wasn't overwhelmed by the cigar. A good smoke, good construction, although the draw was a bit tight. Overall, probably an 85. I'd much rather smoke a Toraņo 1956 over a Patel Vintage.

Had a Sherpa something or other from a CI brownbag. Rather nice little smoke. Burned well, had a good flavor to it. Nothing I'd really write home about, but it provided a nice break from Home Theater Hell. (reorganizing all my entertainment electronics...ugh!)
Sorry about your loss, Neuro...
I hear the '92 is supposed to be better. The '90 is labeled to be a medium, whearas the '92 is supposed to be a medum-full. They use a completely different wrapper between the two (but you hafta give up on those 2 extra years of wrapper aging).Quote:

H. Upmann Cameroon. Nice even burn, easy draw...other than that I was unimpressed...pretty tasteless. :smiley21:
Being a newbie, I'm starting to really enjoy having a good flavored cigar like the Torano 1959 or the Padron 1926 #9 (recommended from a smoke shop I went to)
Taste is starting to become one of my #1's when smoking a stoag... :smiley20:

Something else but I forgot...
October 12th:
Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro Imperial
Onyx Reserve Robusto
Rated "94" by Cigar Insider.
Heavy manure aroma. This is a very good thing. Must be the Connecticut broadleaf wrapper. A rich, medium-bodied smoke.
Somehow, I can't imagine seeing that in a CA review... :)Quote:

VERY nice little fingerburner! And damn near one of the prettiest cigars I've ever seen....
Last night I smoked a Victor Sinclair Series 55
Last night I had a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real...great flavor, even draw...a relaxing night.

CAO Braziia Gol Robusto
Earthy, full-bodied, toasted with a hint of cocoa.
Good, but not a memorable smoke.
Fire petite corona at lunch
Gurkha regent class torpedo when I got home.
Romeo y Julieta. . . ot sure what kind :/ (it came naked from the box and was pretty small).
I had an incredible AF Royal Salute Sun Grown tonight . My first and what a great smoke . I have 2 more in storage - now all I have to do is find a couple more 2 hour time frames to enjoy them .
Padron 4000. Started off as one of the best inexpensive smokes I've had, lit better than the PAM '64's I've had. But, the last 1/3 exhibited such a harshness, it was like I was chewing the tobacco in my mouth. The first 2/3's were awesome though. I'll have to try a couple more before a box though, don't like to waste 1/3 a cigar.
