Today's smokes......

[Cabaiguan Juan]

had another Fumadores (toro) and loved it, but prefer the robusto. Also had a Cusano 18 robusto and thought it was pretty good. I thought it was close to worthy of what CA rated it as.

Me too, I had one yesterday and agree it is a good flavorful smoke. The paired maduro is very nice as well......spicy maduro that imho is different than most. Also over the weekend:
Camacho triple maduro
LaAurora 1495
Cusano CC cafe robusto
CAO criollo

Over the weekend I had:

Gurka Napalease Warrior
Camacho Coyolar
Carlos Toranos Exodus 1959
Padron 3000 maduro

I found the Coyolar unimpressive, just didnt taste good to me at all. I also had to re light it about 4 times. I think it might have been a little bit too full bodied for at the time.

La Aurora Maduro

Wasn't reallly too impressed by this cigar. It's been sitting a while, maybe I shouldn't have let it sit too long in the cooler. That white pume or whatever you call it was around the wrapper. Didn't give enough flavor for me to enjoy the freakishly warm day we had yesterday. It's supposed to be warmer today, so I may go for one of my go-to smokes.

I had a Rocky Patel Cuban Blend yesterday that started out with a loose draw and not too much flavor. About a little more than half way the cigar started to taste pretty bad and that was it for me.

Don Pepin Garcia Blue label, I really like this one almost as much as the Black label. Unfortuneatly, Im still a tiny bit congested from a cold I had so I'm not quite getting the full flavor.

My Secret Santa gave me one of those this year, can't wait to try it. Why was it less enjoyable to you than the black?

Welcome to the forum.

Well I'd like to say that I love Don Pepin Garcia cigars, I cant say I've had that many but I have enjoyed every single one I've smoked. I usually either order them or drive over to the Cigar International store which is like an hour and a half from me.

Both have a nice coffee-like flavor with a good peppery taste. Now that I've smoked the blue label down further I actually am changing opinion and I think the blue label is better than the black. Why? I think the blue is a little bit more consistant further down the cigar and the blue is very surprising in middle. Ashauler, you will enjoy these.

had a Phoenix by RP last night, thanks to slcraiders, wrapper was very spicy on the lips, very nice smoke, can't seem to find them though

[SmokeRing]

I recieved my Famous order yesterday:
Bahia Trinadad Robustos and La Vieja Habana 8 sampler

Had one of the Bahias last night and liked it. It's a medium bodied smoke with a little spice at the start and some slightly earthy undertones. I think this will be a regular.
