Worked in the yard for 4-5 hours and decided to reward myself with a good cigar. I selected a Gurkha Grand Master that was part of a bomb sent by Shooter. It was a damn fine smoke!! :thumbs:
Started the day with a Torano Signature, not bad but nothing to write home about. But for $3.00 a pop I'll live with it.
Early afternoon Tatujae Lancero. Not bad but nowhere near as tasty as the Regios.
Early evening watched the "Derby" with a Ashton VSG. Pretty nice smoke! Smooth and slightly sweet for the most part and in the final 3rd a little bit of spice makes an appearance. I think a box of these will look nice in the coolerdor!
smoking the free Zino Platinum Grand Master that we cheapos all got around Christmas '05.
It's a pretty mild cigar...good, light, and mellow tobacco flavors.
Unfortunately, I dropped it on the floor outside...the 5 second rule applies, right?
I picked it up, wiped off the head, and tried it to see if it was okay.
It was...except for the slight sandy/grittiness it left in my mouth.
Just danced with a Gurkha Doble Maduro. Had a few wrapper issues, but it was a very nice smoke. Not quite as good as the Expedition IMO, but it's two different smokes.
Just finishing off a La Aurora Series 1495 Churchill. Very impressed though it took about an inch and a half to open up. Much better than the Preferdios Robusto that CA gave a 93, but with a similar taste profile.
Punch Elite, H. Upman vintage camaroon, Don Carlos #4 (thank you Ian) and for tonites baseball spectacular, Beckett vs Johnson, an Ashton VSG Illusion.
in celebration of my scoring a box of 1926 #35 maduro from Al, I lit up one of my three remaining # 35 natural. I was in the zone! :love: I am so looking forward to tasting the maduro
PS Al is an a-one guy to deal with not to mention that he sometimes goes crazy with his offers :thumbs:
