Cuvee Blanc Churchill - Simply one of my all time favorites.

J Fuego Natural corona
Nice little cigar

RASCC on the way to work this morning, typically tasty and an H Upmann Coronas Major in the way home. Actually just finishing it off now. Did not disappoint either.

Don Kiki Red Label. Robusto size. Mmmm!

De Olifant Corona - Not to shabby. My sister sent a box of 5 to me about four months ago.
along with a 5'er of Flor de Selva double corona, of which I have not yet smoked.
These seem not to be available in the USA maybe because the De Olifant has some no-no tobacco in the filler, along with leaves from four other countries. Very short money stick about $2.25
These are Dutch in origin I believe.

LFD Air Bender Poderosa (sp?) -- nice flavor and strong.

Working on the El Triunfador lancero for the mega review, I think I'm a little late tho.

Paul Garmirian Gourmet Series Churchill - In the words of JJ Walker " DY-NO-MITE"
I put one of these in the spring draft. Whoever gets it is in for a treat.

No, not yet, although I toyed with the idea of a box purchase from CI. I have been having burn issues with a lot of smaller ring gauge cigars. I just ordered five 65% bead tubes from Heartfelt.
I was using the 70% over the winter with great luck keeping the Rh at about 67-68. Know that the heat & humidity is here, I need to drop the RH below 70-71% it is currently at. 70% is great for aging, not so great for smoking. My 50+ ring gauge are fine. It seems to be affecting the ones below that.

This cigar is 50 ring gauge and my other smokes burn fine. My humidor is at 68% (checked w/ a calibrated digital hygrometer that I use for work ) I think it is just this cigar.

Just smoked my last Trindad Habana for Memorial day. It's been in the humi for 7 months now. WOW I forgot how good they are. This is definitely my favorite smoke. I prefer it to Cohiba hands down. And I love Cohiba.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story. Nice smooth and rich smoke. Found the flavor to be a little one dimensional but what do I know?

An RP Edge corojo with a Coney Island Lager. Great match.

Casa Fuente Corona

Padron No. 44 while listening to the hockey game blaring from my neighbor's deck...what an awesome smoke!!!

**D_M_S** · 06-01-2010, 11:55 AM

Hung out at my local shop on Saturday. Smoked a Padron 3000. I've always heard good things about Padron but this one was actually kinda disappointing. I can see the appeal but they're not for me.

On Sunday I had a Nat Sherman 1400 DC. I've always enjoyed these but this particular one was too dry, I have to make some adjustments to my humidor.
