Oliva Masterblend 1 torpedo...very tastey.
Today was a 5 smoke day, I was able to lounge around for th most part and enjoy a few cigars.
1st Caffe Tabac by K. Hansotia (I know it was flavored and not very good, I payed for it)
2nd Carlos Torano Signature Collection (Very good a nice reward for not finishing the Caffe)
3rd Maria Mancini (very good I liked this one) not the Magic Mountain
4th La Perla Mduro (I enjoyed this one as well)
5th Cusano 18 Double Connecticut--this one was a real shocker for me, before I lit it I took a couple of draws and flinched from the bitterness. After I lit it from the first drwa all the way to the nub I liked it. Very smooth and not too heavy on the strength. This was a good mild with a hint of medium towards the end.
A friend from Minnesota sent me a 10 pk sampler of the CI Legend series. Last night, I fired up one of the red lablels (Perdomo blend). A nicely constructed Torpedo loaded with tons of earthy flavor. It was on the stronger side of medium, but mellowed halfway through. Interesting cigar and a great value for $3.
Thursday
Cielo, gifted to me. Very good cigar - kept the label and will look for these.
Friday
AF Cuban Belicoso SG - I really like these except my B&M charges nearly $2 over MSRP the bastards
Last night
Monte #2 ok, this is an excellent cigar. But, for me it just doesn't deliver the flavor some of its island cousins do. I know, sounds like blasphemy, but there it is. Would I get them again? Hell yes. Given a choice between them and P2 or SP beli's? I'd have to go with latter 2.
Had a Gurkha Beast last night, and then today i had a Regant and Sympthony. All were amazing cigars.
Smoked my first Opus X in the park. I can see why people spend what they do on them, cause it was certainly good, and the first smoke I actually nubbed.
Thursday
La Perla Black Pearl. nice stick.
Non ISOM H. Upmann lonsdale (from the PIF brotherhood i think, must start keeping records). Quite pleasant but v mild.
Oliva Grand Cameroon :smiley20:
I tried my first Opus X fuente fuente I will have to say it was a great smoke
Good smoke. I liked it almost as much as a Hoyo de Monterrey in a dark Sumatra wrapper. Almost.
From my newbie perspective-- this beat the hell out of Punch, Upmann, RyJ and most of the others I've tried so far in the past two weeks.
So far, I like the Maduro wrapper smokes best.
Any suggestions from you experts ?
Monday night; AF Anejo #49 great smoke, as usual.
Tuesday night; Padron 1926 #9 maddie Also a great smoke.
It was a good week. I was at the beach camping with my family all weekend and had a few sticks with me.
Opus X Robusto
Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus
Pedromo Reserva Series P
It was a good week.
I had a Partagas Aristocrat ISOM last night as well as a Perdomo Reserve Cabinet series. Both very good.:smiley20:
CT Casa Torano, I still haven't had a CT I didn't enjoy.
I sat on my back porch thinking of how good it is to be able to enjoy a good cigar and watch the sun set. This was first CT Exodus 1959 Perfecto and it wont be my last it was a wonderful cigar.
Punch Punch from 2003...Started off rather mild and built up to a real butt kicker. :smiley20:
