For the special occasion I smoked a La Diferencia Cubana before dinner and am starting a Sol Cubano Artisan Salomon now. What a pretty cigar it is.
The Salomon was really tasty for a 5$ smoke. Minor burn issues but nothing to dig out the torches and pitchforks over. In fact they were probably due to the wind and my bic lighter.

About to light up a Fumadores Robusto (pretty sure). After doing some quick research it tells me there's three different kinds of this Fumadores, and that the Robusto is 5" long. It also says on this page that the Frontmark is #1.
Total Newb question, what is the Frontmark? Am I supposed to see this #1 somewhere or do I just know that since it's 5" long it's a Robusto?
I hear it's mighty tasty, can't wait to try it!

Yes, that would be the Robusto. Most cigars will not have the make (size, #, vitola, subname etc.) of a line printed on the label. You have to either go by what is printed on the box, do what you did and x-reference the size, or just know by looking at it.
P.S. The Fumadore is a sandwich type cigar (mixed long and short fillers) made by Don Pepin. They are tad on the strong side- which I like. They age really well and are a true value at about $1.50-$2 per stick.

Followed up the Fumadores with the JM's Dominican. I need to let them rest in the humidor overnight as they seem to be just a tad dried out from the trip. Nothing a good night's sleep won't cure.
The JM's was a pretty good smoke I must say. Definitely a little milder than the Fumadores, but the Fumadores was mighty tasty! I have a feeling there won't be many sticks that I won't like.
