Today's smokes......

**designwise1** · 09-11-2006, 12:25 AM

I tried to smoke two of these. Let me tell you how I really feel, without holding anything back:

The first one was plugged tighter than (fill in the blank with something really tight). I tossed it into the dark before I thought about cutting it open. Oh, well.

So... (hardhead that I am) I dug out another one. It was tight but not plugged. One of the worst smokes ever. Moontrance rated 43 on my scale. This VS rated a 48. Nasty. If you like 'em I have 3 more.

Smoked my first Champagne today. Awesome smoke. Personally, I think the 80 rating is waaaaay low. All of the Perdomos I have smoked have been awesome (and I don't overuse that word - even though I've already used it twice in this post ). I have a few Cameroon Torps in the La Tradicion line resting in the humi and will give one of them a try in the next couple of days. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

This last weekend I grabbed some Camacho corojos before heading out of town. They were toros, w/ bands, and one torp, unbanded.

This is a cigar I've not really gotten around to before, but I gotta say, that while I've enjoyed Gran Habano #5's and others, these were outstanding. They were a full, rich experience that IMO, the Punch Rares just don't get to. These are going in my regular rotation.

I had a cheapie $2 smoke last night. A little Fonseca 2-2 Maduro. It was the first 2-2 I have tried and it really hit the spot in the short amount of time I had to smoke. I am going to snag some more of these up for the price. A great mild cigar.

Just got in from a having a CAO Italia, pretty darn good. the burns on my fingers can vouch for that.

Hemingway Signature Natural. -- Just ok in my opinion perhaps I am learning that this line except for the madro versions does not really do it for me

5 Vegas Panatela......

All I can say is wow...that was a good cigar! Burned even, never got hot, had a nice mild-medium taste to it! I can see why its #1 on CI top ten brands sold!

Took me about 30 minutes to smoke that size, so its perfect for a quick smoke!
