Today's smokes......

[TravPSU]

Went to a bachelor party over the weekend, 3 days and 2 nights of camping out, drinking, smoking and other events I'd rather not mention in case my girlfriend might be reading.

Here's what I remember smoking, in no particular order:

2x Nub Maduro
1x Cain Maduro
2x San Cristobal (1 robusto and 1 pigtail)
1x Petrus Reposado
Too many Backwoods to count

[TachyCoventry]

Yesterday was a La Aroma de Cuba and the day before was a Padron 7000 maduro

[slcraiders]

Yesterday with coffee- Montecristo #5

Afternoon: EO No 21 Toro (underated cigar for sure)

Evening: a bowl of Dunhill Nightcap- laced with some HdM (ISOM) tobacco shavings in a Stanwell HCA Churchwarden.

A Rocky Patel Edge Maduro while reading The Germans in Normandy by Robert Hargreaves. I'd love to see what this cigar would be like with a couple of years on it.

Bland, and a mere shell of itself, imho.

True that -- not everything gets better with age (think Kirstie Alley, Meg Ryan and an opened jar of mayonnaise...). As an aside, I have an almost full box of Macanudo Jades with about 20 years of age on them -- which category do you think they fall into?

Have they lasted 20 years because they are macanoodles,and you don't want to smoke them???

They've lasted 20 years because they taste like ass -- always have, likely always will -- and not in the good way...

God, I hope the dude I sent the Macanudo Vintage 1997 doesn't take it as an insult! (Oops.)
Knowing my luck, I'll get Acids in return!

Graycliff double espresso tonight.

Last night I had a Gurkha Legend Torpedo that I got from bigbill forever ago and was just sitting in my humi getting even more delicious. Very nice smoke. Thanks again Bill.

Tried my first Carlos Torano this evening- an Exodus 1959 Toro. (Pretty sure it was a toro.) Rather tight draw to start with, but that mellowed out into the 2/3rd. Rich, smooth, flavors of coffee and oak, little sharp on the nose exhale at points, but all in all a nice little cigar.

Makes me look forward to the MegaReview just that much more!

Gran Habano Vintage 2002. This is a strong candidate for my everyday cigar. It was really good and I think a bundle goes for ~$50.

Tonight I had the very first Padron 3000 maduro. I must say this is a very excellent stick! I was amazed by the burn and the draw on this one. I had little problem with it, and only had one or two relights in the last third, probably because I was savoring the experience between puffs. The flavor was outstanding! Very complex flavor throughout, it exhibited deep ceadary notes with a bit of pepper, and I even noted some floral hints in the last 1/2. I am excited to get more or these perhaps even larger sizes.... although this size at 5 1/2" x 50 or 54 was a great size and a first experience. From this one try I would definitely smoke these again. Very much looking forward to smoking a 1964 anniversary one if I can get one. I would highly recommend this cigar. I am sure many of you already know and agree. special thanks goes out to cigar sarge for this wonderful opportunity. No pics for this mini review but I and my wife sure did enjoy this stick. Roger.
