V Centennial Oxford Series
Flaky ash, med strength, nice aroma, good construction and perfect draw. Overall, a good smoke. I'd give it a 78 out of 100. Looking forward to the remaining 4.
Torano 1916 Robusto Cameroon
If you haven't tried these... you need to. My first one was today. I never want to run out of them if they are all as good. I only thought the 1959 Exodus were good.
Some people think these are bland. Those people should try another one. Yum!
'Nuff said.
Victor Sinclair Series 55 - Sun Grown (Green Label)
I tried to smoke two of these. Let me tell you how I really feel, without holding anything back:
The first one was plugged tighter than (fill in the blank with something really tight). I tossed it into the dark before I thought about cutting it open. Oh, well.
So... (hardhead that I am) I dug out another one. It was tight but not plugged. One of the worst smokes ever. Moontrance rated 43 on my scale. This VS rated a 48. Nasty. If you like 'em I have 3 more.
Perdomo La Tradicion Champagne
Smoked my first Champagne today. Awesome smoke. Personally, I think the 80 rating is waaaaay low. All of the Perdomos I have smoked have been awesome (and I don't overuse that word - even though I've already used it twice in this post ). I have a few Cameroon Torps in the La Tradicion line resting in the humi and will give one of them a try in the next couple of days. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
