Got back to the states yesterday. Celebrated with a Tatuaje Cojonu 2003 and a glass of Captain Morgan Private Stock:smiley20:
God, I hope the dude I sent the Macanudo Vintage 1997 doesn't take it as an insult! (Oops.) :smiley5:
Knowing my luck, I'll get Acids in return!
Working on an Alec Bradley tempus
Graycliff double espresso tonight.
Last night I had a Gurkha Legend Torpedo that I got from bigbill forever ago and was just sitting in my humi getting even more delicious. Very nice smoke. Thanks again Bill.:smiley4:
Tried my first Carlos Torano this evening- an Exodus 1959 Toro. (Pretty sure it was a toro.) Rather tight draw to start with, but that mellowed out into the 2/3rd. Rich, smooth, flavors of coffee and oak, little sharp on the nose exhale at points, but all in all a nice little cigar.
Makes me look forward to the MegaReview just that much more!
Gran Habano Vintage 2002. This is a strong candidate for my everyday cigar. It was really good and I think a bundle goes for ~$50.
Tonight I had the very first Padron 3000 maduro. I must say this is a very excellent stick! I was amazed by the burn and the draw on this one. I had little problem with it, and only had one or two relights in the last third, probably because I was savoring the experience between puffs. The flavor was outstanding! Very complex flavor throughout, it exhibited deep ceadary notes with a bit of pepper, and I even noted some floral hints in the last 1/2. I am excited to get more or these perhaps even larger sizes.... although this size at 5 1/2" x 50 or 54 was a great size and a first experience. From this one try I would definitely smoke these again. Very much looking forward to smoking a 1964 anniversary one if I can get one. I would highly recommend this cigar. I am sure many of you already know and agree. special thanks goes out to cigar sarge for this wonderful opportunity. No pics for this mini review but I and my wife sure did enjoy this stick. Roger. :smiley20::smiley20::smiley20:
