The new one or the old blend? If new, what were your thoughts.

I enjoyed it, up until the point where I accidentally inhaled. The next two cigars went much smoother although I needed to take larger puffs and hold them longer. The second best part was how relaxing it was, minus the inhaling part. Hopefully next time I'll be drinking less and be able to savor the flavor longer. The best part was on Sunday, tasting the cigars periodically through the day... oops now my mouth is beginning to water.

When did the blend change and is there a way I could tell from the packaging, wrapper? Or are you meaning the Playboy cigar not produced by Don Diego? I've not had the "Playboy by Don Diego" stick, but this cigar was well constructed, burned well and was very enjoyable, although I was smoking it while playing horseshoes, so I had to rest it on beer can fairly often and attempted to only put my fingers on the band.

Last night was an Ashton Aged Maduro #40 with a Yuengling Black & Tan.

Yes, I was referring to the Don Diego, which is the only one I have smoked.

Last night I escaped to the patio to relax with a Perdomo Lot 23 Toro and a generous few fingers of scotch.

What kind of scotch do you like?

Scotch is my favorite libation so I tend to drink a lot of it compared to other drinks. Recently I've been drinking a lot of Glenmorangie 18 year old. The staples in my liquor cabinet thought are Glenlivet, Ardbeg and Glenfidich.
