I smoked a couple of petite cigars today. Just didn't feel up to anything bigger. Enjoyable, though.

Perdomo 2005 Small Batch SG - filler is divine!

 

[Scap]

Sharing a pitcher of mojitos with my bride, and just lit up a '14 Lusi.

I finally finished the days chores and felt like enjoying a bigger cigar. Tonight I grabbed a Caldwell Murcias Robusto from a box I bought six months ago. I put them down to rest at 69% because the components were mysterious. The only info was a San Andres wrapper.
This was one of three inexpensive blends they released. It was packaged in a crate-like box that I discarded. I transferred them into a Fuente 858 box as the crate was silly. This cigar has a looser draw than I like but decent construction. Not a bad cigar flavor wise but it did need some extra aging and still does. Notes of cocoa, citrus, and cinnamon. Fairly complex for a three dollar cigar. Gonna revisit in a few more months but I liked it. Just not quite ready to smoke yet. Edit to correct the damn autocorrect.

Smoked that other My Father Cedros Deluxe I picked up (after my customary Fabuloso). Damn fine smoke! Some of Pepin's finest work!

Rafael Gonzalez Petit Corona. Tasty little stick.

 

[Not A Nice Person]

Which size did you smoke?

They actually call THAT one the "lonsdale" on the only site I found selling them, and the first one I smoked a "grand corona." My Father calls it the "Cervantes" and the first one I smoked an "Eminentes." They were both fantastic, and I'm going to have to have a few more of each to decide which one I prefer.

I swear I thought you were going to say that after you transferred them to an 8-5-8 box that they began tasting like one. Hahaa

Thanks, Boar. I prefer thinner rings, but I typically like Pepin's blends in Robusto. That said, I found it interesting that he has several vitola, in this line, that are under 50 RG.

 

[Not A Nice Person]

I'm leaning toward the first one personally. They may call it an "Eminente" and Atlantic might call it a "grand corona," but I know a corona gorda when I smoke one.

The lonsdale was superb, but a little narrow in the ring gauge department for my tastes. I preferred the draw on the first one.
