Today's smokes......

I waited all day to smoke this Euro Churchill from RP. Now THIS is a cigar. At this point I'm comparing everything to the La Tradicion Perdomo Reserve Maduro that I smoked a while back. It is my favorite so far; this RP 1990 comes closest. The Dark Sumatra Hoyo's have been booted from second place.
I'm enjoying my new hobby immensely! Thanks for all the recommendations.

I have been on a real Padron kick lately and have probably smoked up a dozen ranging from 26's to 64's to the thousand series over the last week. My Dad and I each smoked 3 different sizes of 26's over the weekend as part of my baby sister's wedding festivities.

Anyway, went to a Punch event at the local Tinderbox tonight. Not being in a Punchy mood (I only like the rare corojos and an occasional gran cru), I purchased a Partagas 160- Robusto Major, I believe? Wow. One of the best Cameroon smokes I have tried! I understand these get better with a little age...

It was alright, but I dont think im experienced enough for maduros yet. But at least it burned evenly and didnt unravel on me.

Don't get me wrong here, these are admirable smokes. My prob is they tend to draw loosely. I have tried several sizes and boxes as these are one of my Dad's faves. Every time I enjoy the cigar- yet cannot pin-point a certain flavor (lack of personality???) and feel like I am sucking Willy Wonka Nerds through a straw in terms of the draw. A lot of loose leaf in the center?

I am not gonna tell you it was a very complex smoke but it had lots of chocolate notes and it was a smotth creamy like in texture which Ilike, as far as the loose draw was not a problem here, I find that if it's loose the cigar does not really burn even and gets prety hot, this was a perect burn and not hot I actually nubbed it . Size wise I am not sure Chris ( WOHOF) might remmember

I've been saving these for a couple of weeks...
Tonight I smoked my first Padron 1964.

I'm going to quit saying "this is my new favorite" every time I smoke a new cigar.

I swear.

No, really.
