Today's smokes......

[badwhale]

While on vacation:

Padron 5000 Robusto
Arturo Fuente - Casa Fuente
Padron 1964 Anniversary Imperial
Cohiba Siglo Vi (Nicaragua)
Cohiba Siglo II (Nicaragua)
Frank Llaneza 1961 Double Magnum
Torano Casa Maduro Robusto

Yesterday:

Padron 5000 Robusto (really starting to like these a lot!)

Technically, the 5000 is a robusto extra, as is the 3000. The 2000 is the robusto.

Are you getting the maduro or the natural wrapper? I enjoy both equally.

Smoked an RP sungrown lancero while walking the mutts last night. I'm glad I only have 3 of these fuckers left. I like the sungrown, but this vitola has been a pain in the ass through the whole box.....tight or plugged, cracked wrappers....just a regular pain in the ass.

I thought the little sticker on the back of the plastic wrapper had said Robusto so I looked. It doesn't, all it says is "5000 Maduro. It is about the same guage as the H Upmann Reserve Maduro Robusto beside it in my humi, but it is noticably longer (right around 6" in length). Would I be correct in guessing that's why it's called an "extra"?

I look forward to trying them all, the natural's, 2000, 3000 etc!

Yeah. I understand a robusto to be a 4 7/8 x 50 cigar. I also notice that generally companies call a 5x50 a robusto (i.e. the 2000). The 3000 is a little longer, and a little fatter....5000 fatter yet.

All that said, last night I had that Room 101 corona & a CT 59 50yr short churchill.

Tatuaje Havana
Nice cigar

Today's morning smoke was a Opus X the robusto size one. I was never crazy about the first 1/2 inch on these. Great taste one puff then bitter the next. After the 1/2 mark it's a nice cigar that I enjoy all the way down to the nub.

Great way to start the early morning off.

A few puffs into a Rocky Patel Cuban blend robusto with a glass of the ol' Glenlivet.
