The owner was probably alluding to the fact that Torano makes a lot of the Gurkha cigars.

See, I couldn't find anything like that online. Glad he knows what he's talking about.

Just by chance, I did find some 1964 Natural's here in this podunk down, at the cost of $17/ea. They will be for tonight, either before or after the bbq.

Yep, that's true. I was referring to the cigars that represent the two different lines.

Tried an Aroma de Cubana last night while grilling, courtesy of Santa himself. The flavor was only okay, but that little cigar produced more smoke than any other cigar I've ever smoked, regardless of size.

Tried one of the CAO America Landmarks I got in Vegas last month. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Not a fan of the barber pole looking wrapper, but it was a very good smoke. I had only one time I had to touchup the burn and I have no reservations in recommending these to people that like med to full flavor... my GF tried it and also liked it..

Just got back from watchin some football and having a A.Turrent 6 Generations... OK, but not a favorite... not sure I would buy at the $12 I see them online for... Maybe half that...

Opus X Double Corona.

It was raining and making the snow on the ground all nasty, so I decided to spend the afternoon in the cigar lounge and watch football.

Smoked a Tierra del sol I picked up in a fiver off cbid the other day. it started off rather bitter, but soon got its act together a bit. I will definitely be letting the others age for a several more months before going back.

Once the temperature raises above 9 degrees f again, I've got a CAO America and a glass of Woodford Reserve waiting for me.

Then I had a Costa Rican cigar. I forget the name of it but it was brown. Maybe Dick can tell us what it was seein' as how he's an aficionado 'an all.

For Christmas eve: Tatuaje Havana VI Artistas - Very nice, strong smoke, not bitter but a nice tobacco taste.

Merry Christmas to All!

Alec Bradley Tempus. Really liked this one. I'm not good at detecting the flavors, but I felt it was nice and smooth. Was sitting out on my balcony, being 50f outside in shorts listening to Elvlis Christmas songs. I just with I got more so I could have another tommorow. But this really was a good smoke and i'm glad I got one..

Merry Christmas all.

Macanudo Maduro Diplomat (Figurado) Interesting smoke, was a pretty tasty smoke (Thanks Santa)
San Cristobal Clasico - Great smoke! (Thanks to a fellow BOTL)

Smoked a Casa Fuente super belicoso and I gotta say, I was pretty dissapointed. Taking the cigar out of the celo, I noticed that there was a small piece (3mm in diameter) of the wrapper missing near the foot. I noticed a smaller piece (1mm in diameter) of tobacco hanging out in the celo but it definitely wouldn't have fit the whole piece missing out of the wrapper.

Lit the cigar and noticed some medium flavors and a decent amount of smoke. I read some reviews before lighting this one up and they say they're more mild than the regular AF line. I took it out of my "aging" humidor which is at a constant 70rh which was a mistake on my part, I should have let it simmer in one of my daily smoke humis (65rh) for a couple of weeks. Smoked it down and loved the flavor but it wasn't what I expected from a $25 stick. This was my first one so I'll probably smoke another before I purchase some more.

On another note, I took another one of the Casa Fuentes and put it in my normal humi and noticed there was a noticeable water spot on it. We'll see how that one smokes in a few days for New Years.
