Cuvee Blanc Robusto
Wonderful cigar. Mild to medium. Vegetal with a floral after taste.
Solid cigar from start to finish. The minute I lit this cigar I was in love.
The last phase on the smoke was all cinnamon, a mouth full on cinnamon. Wonderful!
For those that love pepper bombs. This is not for you. But if you love a delicate flavorful smoke. Try it!

Thanks again for the invite Bill!

I had another RP Fusion last night, in the Lancero size. I am not sure I like this smaller ring size. The draw was tough, and the wrapper separated a bit. I think these might be a bit too moist still.

It's been my experience that smaller rg cigars, lanceros in particular, suffer from hard draws when the RH is fairly high. Try to dry-box one for a day or so next time and see if it helps in this regard.

To be fair, I have had more draw issues with lanceros even when they are at my preferred RH than other larger vitolas......just one of those things imho.

Thats what I was thinking, I will give that a shot next time!

[Cigarbear]

Tonight was Oliva Serie V Figurado - These are great with Scotch but the draw tends to be tight in the beginning. Throughout the whole box this was frequently an issue

Last night was a very green Cuaba Generosos - Far too moist to fuly enjoy yet it was still damn good. I can't wait until these rest a while longer

Rocky Patel Fusion...WOW....Thanks to MemphisFred

Añejo 48
Añejo 48

Yep, my exact experience on Wednesday as well. I've smoked other Serie V and never had this problem. It was tight but not so much so that I had to toss the cigar out the window. I'd rather have them a little on the tight side than too loose. Too loose of a draw is far more annoying IMO.

5 Vegas aren't bad!

Next month, I want you to report that you found the Davidoff Shop in Manhattan and you smoked a Davidoff Millennium Churchill.

It opened up nicely for the second and last third. I'll buy them again when I finish off the box.

I will be in the city this Monday......maybe I'll make a quick stop, tho 25$ a stick seems a little rich for my budget.
