Does the heat come through in the smoke or is it just on the wrapper?

The wrapper leaves your lips spicy rather quickly, but it takes a little time to feel it off the smoke alone....and I'm not talking "Oh man, I gotta grab some Tums" spicy; its just pretty robust...

CAO Criollo Pato

**Smoky Contemplation** · 02-06-2008, 09:33 PM

Fumadores Robusto 5x50. I can't say that I'm a fan of everything Pepin. However, I was really surprised by how good this was. They will definitely be a part of the rotation.

Smoking a very nice OpusX Double Belicoso

**bhands** · 02-06-2008, 09:57 PM

Taboo Special Forces Original.

For those of you that like full strength cigars, this would be a good choice. It does have a nice finish but it was a bit much for me.

'll have to try it again in a couple of months.

Joya De Nicaragua Ant. Machito (Aged for 1.5 years)

....this is a wonderful cigar now. Initially, they were too spicy and harsh for my palate. Last night was pure heaven with this cigar and some weird, organic Indian beer.

Also had recently:

2x maduritos
1 5 Vegas Cask Strength
1 Diamond Crown Maximus #5
1 Holt's Fumadores

**Mizicke5273** · 02-07-2008, 05:11 PM

Had a Roly #4 while shoveling this morning and this afternoon i went to a local B&M that was doing a Free tasting of the Don Tomas Sungrown line and had the Cetro #2 size.

**Taz** · 02-07-2008, 09:30 PM

A glass of Parton Anejo Neat
CAO Vision Prana Not a bad smoke at all not sure it is worth the sticker price try to get them cheaper on the cbid

**pub spears** · 02-07-2008, 11:51 PM

Gurhka Black Puro
5 Vegas Series A Apostle
Gurhka Titan
Perdomo ESV Robusto

**Presideo** · 02-07-2008, 11:55 PM

Yeah, the Vision's are nice and creamy, but I think they're a little too pricey for the outcome too...

First, I had a CAO Gold Churchill....liked the flavor, but didn't have time to truly enjoy it b/c I was running around the house doing stuff..

Also, my first CAO America Anthem...for $25 a pop these are def. only for special occasions, but man was it big and beautiful...tasted just as great; mild and blended for a hearty non-exotic appeal....

Might have a CAO Gold Honey before the night ends...

That price seems a bit extreme.

Today I had a RASCC and JdN Antano. Eww boy. I've had these things for over a year and finally worked up the courage to smoke one. Glad I waited. That's a spicy cigar.

Edit: Size: 8 1/2 x 50 - In the words of my girlfriend, that's a big stick. I looked it up on Top 25 and it says MSRP at $14.50 and Avg Price Paid at $12.

**rsanz** · 02-08-2008, 04:18 AM

RASCC on the way to work in the morning and a few monte minis during the day,

Ha...yah, $25 seemed a bit too much, but that coffin box that it came with was callin' me and a good 2-hour smoke hit the spot that night after a long day (plus, the manager of the humidor gave me a good discount on a few RyJ's the day after...)

Trying a CAO Ann. right now...has a soft taste with what I guess is a steak-ish aftertaste...gets dull halfway through, though...

Had a CAO Camaroon Churchill this afternoon, which was fairly good, but just didn't hit the spot...

Also, tried almost every CAO I know now...time to branch out a little more!

**cls515** · 02-09-2008, 04:45 AM

I'm jealous of all the RASCC being smoked..The one boomer sent me was one of the best cigars I've had in a long time. Thanks again bro. Hope you are doing great in school.

I had a #4 not long ago. A bit tight, kind of muted the flavors. But still not bad.
