So I haven't bee online lately due to work, weddings, and travel......but I did happen to have some nice smokes during this time. Here's a brief cliff notes version.
Opus X Belicoso
Oliva V Torpedo
Cuvee no. 151
A couple of Nub Cameroons
Coronado by La Flor Double Toro
Flor De Oliva Churchill Maduro......first time I've had it.....pretty tasty for what it is.
Nepalese Warrior
Cheers!
What a wonderful Tuesday evening...
Yesterday,
Nepalese Warrior
Don Tomas Sun Grown Robusto
CAO Maduro Gold
Yesterday, for Monday night football, lit up a Soprano. It was a little lighter than I thought it would be, but a good smoke.
Had to skip tonight due to kid duty.

I'm working on an SLR A from 2001 right now. Though the draw is quite tight, the flavor and burn are excellent.
Ecuadorian Sungrown Maduro puro
Rocky Patel Sungrown
partagas spanish rosado
DPG My Father Belicoso
Yesterday I tried a Camacho Negro. Really wanted the triple maduro, but it was a little out of my budget this week.
Anyway, the draw was very tight. I was very dissapointed in this smoke. I hope when I finally get that triple it's nothing like the negro.
Rich
Oliva Series V Churchill Extra
Hope everyone has a relaxing holiday weekend!
smoked an Ancient Warrior perfecto last night. I was pleased with the flavor, but it seemed to be lacking on volume of smoke.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of having an Hoyo du Roi from 2001...absolutely COVERED in plume. It was one of the best cigars I've ever had.
just finished a sancho panza paired with crown and sprite. These two substances get along very well with each other.
last night: Felipe Gregorio Dos Capas

Tonight I had a Cusano P1 - I've got the CC & MC to go, I hope they're as good as this one was.
Started raining on me/the laptop while I was smoking it & had to move to the garage. :smiley17:
Cusano Habano sun grown robusto
Old World Reseve toro
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Robustos silver
In order of preference:
Live Blue - the Argentinian puro. This one was much better than the first Blue I had, and tasted similar to a big ring Dona Flores, but better. My guess is the mata fina tobacco.
Jose L. Piedras Conservas - Two years old, and getting, well, simpler. Time for me to smoke the rest of the packs from this bundle up, I think.
Oliva O Mad - I used to like this cigar, now its just a well-made something to smoke, nothing special. Still, a step up from a Flor de Oliva.
Onyx Torbusto:
Cant say id recommend this cigar to anyone. burn issues plagued this cigar from the start. one half burned at about 1 inch faster than the opposite side, which just tunneled throughout. flavor was decent but the smoke volume i was looking for just wasnt there. It took 3 big draws to get a decent amount.
definitely not worth the 7.25 i paid for it, though i suspect, after checking cigars international, that my b&m back home inflated the price by a fair amount. if i could find one for about $4 I might pick up another one to give it a try.
Today I had a Padron 1964 maduro to celebrate my award at work - wife and I are going to Maui for a week in January... all expenses paid by my company!! :smiley4:
edited to add: That's the first time I've ever burnt my fingers smoking a cigar. It WAS that good.
Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial.
Yesterday: San Cristobal Supremo
Today: Camacho Limited Harvest Toro
Partagas Short, as always the reliable half hour of pleasant smoke
Since I've been away from the forums a bit, I'll do a round-up of the the more memorable cigars of the past week.
- Cusana Habano LXI.................I really enjoyed this one......great flavors, good strength, excellent construction.......just really hit the spot.
- La Aroma De Cuba Robusto......had some draw issues.....always a bummer
- Tat Havana VI Almirantes....:smiley20:
- Flor De Oliva Maduro Torp.........great bargain! Gonna add these to the rotation of daily smokes
- Don Tomas Sun Grown Presidente......nice...well-rounded taste. Might be worth trying if you haven't already.
Opus X Reserva D'Chateau.:smiley20:
My favorite Opus X.:smiley37:
As I can't say this elsewhere (although one never knows) Welcome back! :smiley14:
This weekend was try-a-stick-that-hopefully-has-become-better-after-a-few-months. The first two were from a short addiction to cBid last winter, and the last was a CI superstore pickup that a BOTL this past spring.
Oliva O Mad Torp - no change
Carlos Toraņo Virtuoso Encore - no change
Perdomo ESV '91 Mad Torp - improved a lot from the summer, but more time will hopefully make it better.
All three were not impressive to me at time of purchase. All three will go back to sleep until after Christmas.
Friday: Hemingway Classic
Saturday: Oliva V lancero
Sunday: Cabiguan Guapo RX, and an Old Henry churchill
just smoked a Cubao No. 5 wow.
2 la aurora 100 anos Belicosos. Yummy. I've been smoking these non-stop for weeks now:smiley37:
5 Vegas Gold
Taboo SFO, good full strength cigar with a great finish :smiley1:

Had a El Rey Del Mundo Olvidados Chateau X last night. As intimidating as this cigar looked, it was pretty smooth all the way through..............almost on the mild side.
Also recently had a Hoyo De Tradicion Toro. It was a flavorful cigar but the draw was a little tight. Oh well.
Garycliff Espresso Pirate (torpedo). Its been a while since my last Graycliff - Wow, I forgot how good these are. Too many cigars........not enough time.
Taboo African Cameroon.

Last night the new Macanudo 1968 got free at a promotional event. Not a terrible smoke but I would never pay the 9-10 price they are asking I may buy another if they were $3
The new Cruzado
CAO Criollo bomba
was good but the draw was't what i wanted
I always found the draw to be a little tight on the CAO Criollos, what kind of cut are you using?Quote:

I agree, certainly not a $9-10 smoke........kinda boring about 1/3 of the way in.Quote:

Opus X petite lancero. Great smoke! Thanks Jamie!:smiley20:
