H. Upmann Sir Winston

A Nicaraguan Robusto Maduro (unlabeled bundle) and a Upmann Demi Tasse.
Added later: I decided to smoke another one... A Slow-Aged 826 (by Perdomo?). A very good smoke but not as good as the Perdomo Cabinets, in my opinion.

I had my first AF 858 SG today. Oh yeah I am in heaven right now. Will be fun getting more of these.

Two Upmann Demi Tasse and a Java by Drew Estate. I was wanting the Java out of my humi before it tainted everything else. I never want another one.

Cigar: Camacho Candela
Name: Monarca

My initial thoughts are this cigar looks like an Iguana. Very tempting green candela wrapper that smells kind of like tea and something else I couldnt put my finger on. Initial light up smells wonderful and I am looking forward to this smoke. First few draws start of a bit harsh and then really mellows out into hints of green tea and grass. Needless to say, I dont like the taste of grass and I would have given up on the cigar before the halfway point where I threw it out had the stogie not been so mild. Overall impression, very cool looking, good even burn and mild. Flavors of a slight hint of green tea with more hints of grass, no bueno. 4 outta 10.

Finaly got to smoke my Graycliff Pear Label Crystal Taco (what a name!). The flavor was fantastic with lots of smoke. this was the first cigar I had the desire to smoke right down to the nub. The only problem I had with it was the evenness of the burning. I couldnt get the thing to burn evenly for the life of me. It was dark, so i couldn't see for sure, but i would guess there was a .5 inch difference from one side to the other. I re-lit twice and kept having the same problem. using the Cigar Refference software, it got a 16.5 from me. I will be getting some more of these for sure!

Oh yeah, it burned for about 1 hour 10 minutes.

The Graycliff Blue Label was one of my top 5 smokes. Although not worth retail, good deals can be had on cigarbid (the devil lol)\

Started the evening with a Cuesta Rey Stanford's Cameroon Reserve... RIP, Stan - this smoke was for you!!!

Followed up with a PAM 64 Principe...

I amoked another of Matasas seconds. Not as good. I'm sticking to breakfast with coffee and this one from now on. Perfect combo.
I smoked a Montecristo White #2 ($12.50 at a B&M 80 miles from here). Disappointed at first. But it got better by the second half. Beautifully made cigar. Draw was perfect, long ash...
Finished off the evening with HBO's Deadwood and a Hoyo de Monterrey Dark Sumatra. I am loving those things and it was the definite winner for the day.
G'night all...

H.Upmann Magnum What a smoke

Do you know if it was the 46 or 50? Yeah they are the bomb!

[CgarDan]

I think 46

[punch]

Plan on having a Nat Sherman tonight. Never had any Sherman's before. Just bought it on a whim. Not expecting anything great, though.

[cls515]

I think 46

I actually like the 46 better. I would even go so far as to say it is my second favorite all time. Dang good cigar.

Enjoyed a 5 Vegas 06 Limitada with a nice 3 fingers of scotch.
