Graycliff Crystal Pirate (torpedo)

[sammis]

First smoke in a while: Padron Londres

Had a JR Alternate to JR Ultimate Toro. (JRULT)
This one wasn't that great, however other in the same bundle were better (or I was more drunk)

Yesterday's NoVA Herf:

AF Hemingway Signature Maduro
Quinterra Petite Corona (did I get the name correct? Thanks, Mark!)
some in-between cigarillo smokes from Germany, which was freakin amazing.
San Cristobal Monumento

I have to admit, I enjoyed the San Cristobal more than the AF Hemi Sig Maddie. The Hemi probably needed more time in the Humi. Just goes to show you though, there are tons of easy to acquire sticks out there that out shines the rare HTF ones.

Smoked a CAO Italia yesterday, enjoyed smoking it a good bit, but man, it might have been the best smelling cigar smoke I have yet to experience.

Would you say the San Cristobal is worth the price difference?

Just had a C.A.O. Criollo Pampas - initially had a tight draw, but that loosened up about half way through (either that or I got used to it...). Pretty good then, and certainly lasted longer than I expected from such a little guy. I didn't mind in this case since the weather was (relativly) good outside, and will be my last opportunity to get a smoke in before the weather turns nasty for a good week...

Master Cylinder,
My friends and I are hanging out in Pueblo for a few weeks. We smoked for a while yesterday around 3pm and man was that weather gorgeus. Couldn't believe it after the week we have had. Gotta love snow from sat to tuesday and then high 60's on Saturday. Crazy Colorado weather.

I think it is. I didn't get as much enjoyment from the Hemi Maddie as I did with the San Cristobal. For the price range of a San Cristobal Robusto and the ease of acquiring it whenever I want to smoke it, it's definitely worth it compared to a HTF Hemi Maduro.

We'll see after I give these Hemi Maddies one year of resting.

Yea, There is nothing like a big dumping of snow during the night, to wake up to clear skies and warm temperatures - but still have the ground covered in snow. I miss the place

Had an MX2 Toro after supper.

[logan37]

I got out of work in time to catch a quarter and a half of the Super Bowl with an A.F. Anejo No. 50.

[badwhale]

Had a punch EMS. Toothy and good.

Partagas Black Crystal Tubo - Delicious and oily. What an awesome smoke.

[BenjiM]

Had a RyJ Vintage #1. Huge dissapointment. The entire wrapper literally fell off. It had a very tight draw too. I ended up chucking it. I hope it was a one time thing, I have never had trouble with cigars from my humidor before. I did just add the heartfelt beads, but I have had several cigars since and this is the only one that went to crap.

I also had a CAO Criollo. I was very happy with it. Intially I received it as part of a sampler and was excited by what I read about it. So excited that I bought a tin of Criollos. I hated the ones in the tin, so I was not expecting to like the biggun, but I was pleasantly suprised.

I will chock that up to a lesson in different sizes smoking differently.

Blue Skies...

A Day of Pepin:
Tobacos Baez - morning
My Father - late morning
Blue - currently
JJ Maduro - will end the day

[FactoredReality]

NoVa Herf Smokes:
Nub Habano - not impressed, lacking flavor and the maintenance was miserable
German Cigarillo type - Thanks FunkyCold5 - was very impressed for such a little package
Padilla Habano - definately the better of the two habanos I smoked that day, will smoke again.

I really wanted to get out yesterday and enjoy a smoke in the 60+ degree weather we had. Was too busy making chili for super bowl. Hopefully thats not the last of the warm weather.

My freind got me a javak was coffee infused, robusto was pretty tasty i must say.

[Silencei2]

Just polished off a RASS - Awesome cigar... definitely digging the flavor and the smoke.

Torano Exodus 1959

[Silencei2]

Smoked a H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon Churchill and a Nording by RP Robusto. Tasty cigars!
