Padilla Miami 8 & 11 ----- not bad but not worth the price INMHO

Later last night I ended up firing a 2nd smoke which I don't do that often. When I was at Corona Cigar Bar looking for their Rocky Edge 2nds one of the guys suggested that I try an Omar Ortez Original because it was similar to the Edge. I have to say

I was not let down at all.

Very nice even smoke all the way through but it did get almost to rich/heavy at the very end. If you like the Edge I'd definitely suggest trying these. I might have to pick a couple more up.

Accompaniment

Entertainment

Construction was nice, rolled for a perfect pull. Wrapper had a few large veins but had a pleasant taste and scent. Cigar lit perfectly first few pulls although not unpleasnant tasting nothing spectacular. Burn was perfect nice white tight ash that had to be knocked off. First 1/2 inch of the cigar was an average tasting mild/medium smoke.
By the time I got to the meat of the cigar a wonderful flavor was developing. It was becoming a nice full body tasting smoke that continued to get stronger and more flavorful. Cigar never got peppery or hot but finished off strong and very tasty. Ash stayed white and tight the whole way. All and all not a bad stick for $7 at local cigar store and about $5 online.

Scotch as always was quite tasty smokey and smooth with a pleasant after taste.

Entertainment was average at best. Go Pats !!

Smoked an Ancient Warrior last night. I liked it, but seemed to taste a little dry.
Sunday tried something different - a Kuba. Suprised that it was good. Different. Wifey liked it. Daughter liked it too.
Night before that tried a Root (ok, it was a party and Drew was the featured maker). This was kind of sweet, not sure if flavored or not, uh, interesting. Then a Camacho corojo figurado.

Summary

Very good looking, well constructed cigar. Lit very nicely with and exceptional draw. First 1/3 was tasty and medium strength. Meat of the cigar developed very nice mediun to full body taste, somewhat creamy. Wonderful finish strong and flavorful. Could have used a rouch clip. Burned evenly the whole smoke. Never had to relight. Nice tight white ash, lasted about 2 1/2 periods. Overall a very pleasant smoke.

Wine was very good

Great game. Why, because the Bruins won

**FunkyCold5** · 10-23-2006, 03:22 PM

Last night, Padron 4000 Maduro and a bottle of Riesling Wine with the GF.
I was quite pleased with the draw and the flavor. I don't know if it was the cigar that was buzzing me or the wine, but I had a good buzz at the end of the evening.

I have a La Gloria Churchill Maduro lined up next.

**stjohnroe** · 10-23-2006, 04:37 PM

RASCC, I love 'em.

**Evillepaintball** · 10-23-2006, 04:50 PM

sunday had a Casa Torano with a friend, his sister, and her room mates down in Tenesee. It was a very nice smoke

**designwise1** · 10-24-2006, 12:01 AM

Well, I'm feeling pretty darn special tonight. Kind of like I just got lucky.

Don't laugh! It could happen.

A BOTL sent me an ISOM; a Monte Edmundo a few weeks ago. I fired it up this evening and -- it was good.

But I've had better.

Did I smoke the whole damn thing? You betcha. And I'd do it again.

**Shelby07** · 10-24-2006, 12:36 AM

Today you are a man!

You're right. There are better, but they are pretty damn good, aint they?

**SmokinDVM** · 10-25-2006, 12:30 AM

Started a RP Old World Reserve, but it was plugged beyond salvage.

Just fired up a PAM Imperial

**sprangalang** · 10-25-2006, 01:23 PM

wish I had friends like you.

**ggiese** · 10-29-2006, 10:11 PM

Watched the Bears dress down the 49ers (that hurt, because Mike Singletery is their assistant head coach) while smoking a Ashton VSG Pyramid. Finished with an '03 Cohiba Sig IV (love that corona size). Paired them up with a coupla snifters of El Jimador Anejo Tequila...

Nice afternoon of smokes.

**drew_goring** · 10-29-2006, 10:28 PM

Casa Fuente Beli Finos with a little more than a year of age on it. Great, but not worth twice as much as an Opus.

**WOXOF** · 10-30-2006, 01:48 AM

Camacho SLR

**SmokinDVM** · 10-30-2006, 02:40 AM

Smoked an Ashton VSG Corona Gorda while watching the Cowboys beat the Panthers. Romo did OK for his first start.

Celebrated after the game with a Cohiba Sublime EL.

I'll enjoy watching Chicago crush the Giants next week.
