Well, due to an outage at work, my Saturday was spent answering questions from our managers about why it wasn't fixed yet. :smiley5:
So I finished the night up by having a Gispert Churchill. :smiley1:

There were a few rough spots on the wrapper, and it wasn't firm at all, but a little squishy. I read somewhere this morning that it's preferred that these are taken out of the humidor to rest for a few days before smoking, but..... I didn't. Reasonably interesting scent, however.....
The pre-light draw was very loose. It lit up rather well, but did take a little longer than normal, noting it's a full inch in diameter. Nothing spectacular about the taste. Nothing bad about it either, for that matter. This cigar isn't boutique in the least bit. It produces lots and lots of smoke, the ash holds up reasonably well, and I had to touch up the burning problems only twice. After the second time, I guess I got it right, as it burned evenly from about halfway through all the way to about an inch and a half left, at which time I put it out. The cigar is very mild in strength, and it does get spicy as the smoke goes on. The cigar is also very loosely rolled. It's very squishy towards the end of the cigar, but stays together, and is still consistent in its other aspects. The after-smoking scent doesn't linger too long, nor is it too unpleasant.
I would take this cigar fishing, or doing wood working projects in the garage. There are times the amount of smoke get annoying, and the looseness of the cigar is of a concern, but they are so doggone cheap, I would buy this again.
I hope that helps.
Cohiba Genios maduro 5. It may be as close to perfection as God will allow man to achieve.

Perdomo 1991 ESV Imperio
had to clear some room in the cooler for this.
CAO Black VR on the ride in this morning.
CC Brown Label on break just now.
Famous Private Corojo for the ride home tonight.
Had my first CAO Vision today while walking the dog. Was a good smoke, enjoyed it from beginning to end. Only problem I have with it is the price. I dont mind paying $12+ on a smoke, but would like to get some time out of it. Will probably get a few more for rare occasions.
Was a gorgeous day so I smoked 2 cigars. Hope the weather stays like this for the rest of the week,
First smoked a Gran Habano Habano #3
-Wonderful smoke, nice white smoke with a smooth taste.
Later I smoked a La Vieja Habana by Drew Estate.
-Great smoke.
Ashton VSG Sorcerer. Yum.
Graycliffe G2 robusto. Good...overpriced.
I expect to smoke this weekend:
Cabaiguan Double Corona
Padron 7000
A couple of Perdomo Reserva Maduro petit coronas.
Oliva V lancero at lunch..........yummy.
Java by Drew Estate (meh...)

Diamond Crown #4
They were on sale. The guy said it would be a good morning smoke. I puffed away like a madman, wanting more flavor, because I don't know what I'm doing, because I'm such a newbie. Now I feel like poo.
Yesterday was nice.

CT Virtuoso earlier and working on a Perdomo wheel gar and a boat motor.:smiley7:
Yesterday, at the Foxfield horse races in Charlottesville, I had a DCM robusto, really good cigar. Then a Perdomo Habano Corojo, and finally a 898 barber pole that Mark (597) gifted me. It was suprisingly decent.
Today, i had a RyJ torpedo.
