Sounds like a great afternoon!

How was the Parti and Boli?

**Diesel Grinch** · 10-18-2007, 01:30 PM

They where great! I was told the Boli is a nice smooth smoke. Tasted great. The parti was impressive. I didn't think it would smoke well because of the twists but it didn't and it had a nice flavor.

CAO Sopranos Soldier
Flor de Olivia Maduro

Both were excellent smokes, Ill definetly be buying some boxes of these. Especially the Oliva since its such a good smoke for the price.

I had a diamond crown robusto #5 last night to celebrate the Gators victory over Kentucky, it was decent, but not the greatest. I paired it with some great coffee, some chocolate and of course with a win from an awesome football team. Go Gators.

It's been a long weekend including a drunkin road trip* to see Motorhead in beautiful Taranaki so my memory is a little hazy but, to the best of my knowledge...

Friday

Roman Allones Gigantes (see photo below)
Bolivar Gold Medal
RASCC

Saturday
Cohiba Siglo 1
Carlos Torana 1916 Robusto

Sunday
H Upmann Coronas Major

Cohiba Siglo 1

*Drunkin but safe road trip, 2 of our number don't drink so the driver was always sober.

Yesterday:

Indian Tabac Classic Tomahawk during the ALCS game (way to blow it Tribe!)

CAO Mx2 late night with the guys outside the bar.

Those Mx2's are probably my favorite cigar. I love the fact that they burn so cool and the flavor is awesome. So if anyone decides to bomb me.....you know what to do. lol

Today:

5 Vegas Gold

Gurkha Nepalese Warrior

Side Note: Im lovin these Vegas Golds, they are such a great casual smoke...
And those napes, wow, talk about some flavor..

**Enhaf** · 10-22-2007, 07:19 PM

Hidalgo Corona

really good stick for a dollar. first off the cello was a nice yellow tint so it had some age.

more important it had one of the evenest burns i've had yet ; held a ash like a champ too.

the strength was a medium strength to me with earthyness being the main flavor.

glad that the b+m has like 40 more of em so i know where to get more

**BDurrani** · 10-22-2007, 07:28 PM

Cusano Corojo 1997.
Had this a few days ago, a good smoke.

**Mizicke5273** · 10-23-2007, 09:49 AM

Last Night I had a Excalibur Dark Knight I. Was a fantastic smoke. Think I maybe buying me a box of these soon, along with a bunch of other smokes.

Sunday night I Had an Astral Talanga Valley Selection while watching the new transformers movie. Fantastic smoke as always, no wonder its one of my favorites. By the way the Transformers movie was awsome, gona be watchin it again tonight while doing some of my expenses for this trip.

Saturday, we hit up Atlantic City for a while since were so close. Had a Flor de Olivia while playin some slots. If it wasnt for the fact that I had a great cigar and didnt feel like leavin I probably would have only lost a few dollars instead of $40. Also had a RyJ Reserva Real as well outside the casino while takin a break and cooling off.

**mithril** · 10-23-2007, 02:32 PM

had an Excalibur 1066

**SmokeRing** · 10-24-2007, 09:25 PM

My most recent:

Cusano 18 paired maduro, Gordo - Not bad but not great. It didn't have much complexity, the flavor stayed the same all the way thru. The flavor was rather sharp though it did mellow about half way in. It did not have any hint of maduro sweetness. Burned evenly, drew well and produced a satisfying amount of smoke. I've tried several of the Cusano line and none of them have really impressed me. I think I shall be moving on.

Drew Estates Natural, Root- I've been rather curious about these Drew Estates Naturals for a little while now. The "Root" was the only one type the shop had so I picked it up. I have to say that I actually liked it! It is a robusto size with a fuzzy, uneven foot ant this caused it to burn a bit unevenly at first. But over-all it burned and drew well. It is a medium bodied stick with straight up tobacco taste combined with pronounced earthiness. I'm definitely going to try out some more of what this line has to offer.

Cheers!

JLP Cremas before hitting a hundred balls at the driving range

Red label on the way to a late lunch.

RAG on the deck with a mate.

Not a bad Sunday.

**Smoked!** · 10-29-2007, 01:08 PM

Nothing too exciting, here. Tried a Punch Pita size Rare Corojo vs. a Reserve. They were remarkably alike, with maybe just a little extra spice from the corojo. Yep. I like the Punch.

**rsanz** · 11-01-2007, 05:26 AM

RASCC with a nice espresso on the way to work
JLP Cremas while out and about
Nic3K after visiting Mum in the hospital, much nicer with a few months humi time (the Nic3k, not my Mum)

**maynard** · 11-03-2007, 06:52 PM

I bought some Blenders Gold Churchill Maduros today, cheap smoke, good smoke, I just switched from a Pipe, I liked the English Tobaccos in my pipe, but Im really enjoying Cigars. I hope to find some good Cigars like you talk about,
