This is a damn good and tasty smoke, especially for how cheap it is. I recommend trying it if you havent already.

I second that, I'll be buying my second box very soon. Tonight I had a Sancho Panza Double Maduro, another cheap but good maddie.

Today was a 5 smoke day, I was able to lounge around for th most part and enjoy a few cigars.

1st Caffe Tabac by K. Hansotia (I know it was flavored and not very good, I payed for it)
2nd Carlos Torano Signature Collection (Very good a nice reward for not finishing the Caffe)
3rd Maria Mancini (very good I liked this one) not the Magic Mountain
4th La Perla Mduro (I enjoyed this one as well)
5th Cusano 18 Double Connecticut--this one was a real shocker for me, before I lit it I took a couple of draws and flinched from the bitterness. After I lit it from the first drwa all the way to the nub I liked it. Very smooth and not too heavy on the strength. This was a good mild with a hint of medium towards the end.

A friend from Minnesota sent me a 10 pk sampler of the CI Legend series. Last night, I fired up one of the red lablels (Perdomo blend). A nicely constructed Torpedo loaded with tons of earthy flavor. It was on the stronger side of medium, but mellowed halfway through. Interesting cigar and a great value for $3.

Thursday

Cielo, gifted to me. Very good cigar - kept the label and will look for these.

Friday

AF Cuban Belicoso SG - I really like these except my B&M charges nearly $2 over MSRP the bastards

Last night

Monte #2 ok, this is an excellent cigar. But, for me it just doesn't deliver the flavor some of its island cousins do. I know, sounds like blasphemy, but there it is. Would I get them again? Hell yes. Given a choice between them and P2 or SP beli's? I'd have to go with latter 2.

Had a Gurkha Beast last night, and then today i had a Regant and Sympthony. All were amazing cigars.

Smoked my first Opus X in the park. I can see why people spend what they do on them, cause it was certainly good, and the first smoke I actually nubbed.

Thursday

La Perla Black Pearl. nice stick.

**stjohnroe** · 08-07-2006, 05:42 AM

Non ISOM H. Upmann lonsdale (from the PIF brotherhood i think, must start keeping records). Quite pleasant but v mild.

**CgarDan** · 08-08-2006, 06:27 PM

Oliva Grand Cameroon

**TheNakedGun** · 08-08-2006, 10:38 PM

I tried my first Opus X fuente fuente I will have to say it was a great smoke

**designwise1** · 08-09-2006, 01:52 AM

Good smoke. I liked it almost as much as a Hoyo de Monterrey in a dark Sumatra wrapper. Almost.
From my newbie perspective-- this beat the hell out of Punch, Upmann, RyJ and most of the others I've tried so far in the past two weeks.
So far, I like the Maduro wrapper smokes best.
Any suggestions from you experts ?

**SmokinDVM** · 08-09-2006, 01:56 AM

Monday night; AF Anejo #49 great smoke, as usual.

Tuesday night; Padron 1926 #9 maddie Also a great smoke.

CAO Brazilia, any of the Padrons, Sancho Panza Double Maduro, and for a cheap but good maduro, try the 5 Vegas series "A".

I smoked a CAO Italia tonight after dinner. I was pleasantly surprised.

It was a good week. I was at the beach camping with my family all weekend and had a few sticks with me.

Opus X Robusto

Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus

Pedromo Reserva Series P

It was a good week.

**lrharry29** · 08-09-2006, 10:14 PM

I had a Partagas Aristocrat ISOM last night as well as a Perdomo Reserve Cabinet series. Both very good.

**WOXOF** · 08-10-2006, 04:29 AM

CT Casa Torano, I still haven't had a CT I didn't enjoy.

**TheNakedGun** · 08-11-2006, 07:56 PM

I sat on my back porch thinking of how good it is to be able to enjoy a good cigar and watch the sun set. This was first CT Exodus 1959 Perfecto and it wont be my last it was a wonderful cigar.
