I'm up for a box split if you can get enough at the right price!

I've only smoked a couple JdN's but I really enjoyed them.

Wifey's gone to the big city to do some work at their main office so I enjoyed a Padron 3000 Robusto on the deck last night. Just me, the dogs, the hummingbirds and some evening sunshine on the longest day of the year.

That is one I have been wanting to try. It looks very good. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Just lit cigar #2. Opus Beli. Amazing amount of smoke, and quite a bit of spice that I haven't had with another Opus yet. Is that unique to this vitola?

San Cristobal de La Habana Mercaderes Dec 05 - this LCDH-banded Churchill-sized cigar has been discontinued. Incredibly-complex mild-medium cigar in a style that isn't popular in these ligero-filled days. Somewhat reminiscent of the H. Upmann Sir Winston, but with its own unique flavour profile. One awesome cigar.

**Cody44** · 06-26-2012, 04:21 PM

Padron 1964 Anni Natural.

**kingbeefy** · 06-26-2012, 08:04 PM

Tatuaje Reserva

This is actually alot like the ISOMs I've had. The flavor, aroma, crooked burn, tight draw and all. Draw isn't unbearably tight and the burn could be the wind here, otherwise this is a great smoke so far.

If it starts running up one side and you think it's wind, roll the cigar halfway around in your hand and if it is the wind, it'll even the burn out for you.

I had an RyJ Churchill on the weekend that was a little tight. Not unsmokable tight, but I had to work harder at a good draw the first half of the cigar than I like. Out of a box of 25 (about 10 into it now), that's the 1st one that didn't draw perfectly so I can't complain too much.

I had a Padron the night before last, the Churchill on Sunday, and Saturday I smoked a Camacho Corojo Churchill

Had a Reinado habanito petite corona. Was rated 92 in Cigar Journal. Great spice and rich flavors on it...

**CigarSmoker1** · 06-28-2012, 02:24 PM

Padron 2000

Amazing draw. Burn was fantastic. Nice quick smoke. Aroma was overpowering. Nice nutty, earthy taste.

**FightingFish** · 06-28-2012, 10:57 PM

My Father. Great blend.

I had an Imperiale robusto from Leon Jiminez tonight. I'm new to all this but that's what it said on the wrapper. I'm trying a variety of cigars and this was in the bunch. I wasn't too pleased with it.

Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic (black label) ~ corona

Two this week, my first cigars of 2012. Discovered my liquor store has a wall humidor stuffed in the back. Bought an H. Upmann Connoisseur and a CAO Gold churchill. Smoked the Connoisseur on Saturday after some great Maryland crabs and was unimpressed with it. The CAO was fine, though, on Tuesday. I wonder if the first one was just my underdeveloped palate; my wife took a few puffs and claimed to taste/smell coffee grounds, when I just got flavorless smoke.
