What did you smoke today

I smoked a DC Max Robusto and a 601 Green label Robusto. The DC was alright, but not quite as good as I expected. The 601 was fantastic. Pepin cigars have been interesting to me in that they all taste very similar. The differences between the lines has been small to me, although large enough that I can tell the difference. The 601 Green is an exception to this though, as it really seemed to have it's own thing going. It was a fabulous cigar, but in a blind taste test I don't know that I would have identified it as a Pepin.

Camacho Triple Maduro... uhh... wow. First time I've had it-- I think I still have a head. Lots of body, kind of 1 dimensional on the flavor, but it's all maduro leaf, so that's kind of expected. Strong tabacoo flavor.

Overall, would smoke again, maybe after a good meal. Not an "empty stomach" kind of cigar.

Now there is a cigar that draws some mixed opinions on here. I like it myself, but I don't think that I have seen another cigar that draws such mixed opinions.

Today was good.

Two minutes from me a B&M celebrated their five weeks of business. My first experience there with the big leather sofa, a 40-some inch lcd with an oozing Giada De Laurentiis, and six comfy chairs on black hardwood floors sucked me in. Free coffee, industry rags, and a fluffy USAToday. The walk-in, full of fresh boxes smelled rich and untouched. An unfamiliar sight, all new inventory, not diversified like established shops. A bunch of this and a bunch of that, but not a bunch of a bunch of stuff. I don't think I have stood in a humidor that long before choosing. I was sucked in. Every stick was viewed from left to right , top to bottom around the room. The last box on the bottom shelf, the omega, the last cigar to be seen, was the one.

Stanford's Cameroon Reserve Cuesta-Rey Churchill #1. The pristine box called to me, "We are twenty, we are shiny with gold paper, and we know..." With my spirit removed from my body, I plucked the the most radiant one and headed for the couch. I sat down and stared at it before removing its skirt. I ogled it for minutes before punching its head. I fondled it awhile before lighting its foot. I don't remember doing the sudoku, or crossword. I talked to the owner for a half an hour, but I wasn't there. People came, people went, I was gone. I had transcended space and time; I was in the zone. I was the cigar.

...And after I came back to myself and made fish soup, I had a God Pepin Garcia JJ belicoso. This is the cigar where each puff is better than the last, and you want to eat the butt.

Today was good.
 
Courtesy of hudsonvalley (thanks big guy), I smoked my first ever Gurkha Class Regent box pressed size. Smooth, creamy, slightly sweet, somewhat spicy, no pepper noted, cool draw to the nub. Good finish, no biting aftertaste.

Not bad at all. Actually really liked it.

Bleh... ick... sulphur?...

I was hoping to have a nice cigar to start off a long day of college football.

This cigar was a nice gift from a kind BOTL, and the others I received from this generous brother have been great to excellent, this was unlike ANY vsg I've ever enjoyed in the past. Dog poo hidden inside a SG wrapper? By far the worst cigar this year, maybe 2

What to break out now to make up for this awful dissapointment?...

Damn, I'd say so! :thumbs:

Tonight I'm going to light up a Padilla 1932 while watching the Antonio Tarver fight.
 
This morning I enjoyed a Maria Guerrero and an Oliva Serie G. This evening will be a Punch Rare Corojo and a Padilla Obsidian with a small taste of Macallan Elegancia.
 
In the garage on a damn cold night... First snow of the year!!! :thumbs:
Enjoying the hell out of a PAN Exclusivo... :love: Along with a few fingers of Elijah Craig.
Helluva evening fellas!!!
 
Had an Anejo 77, a PAM Exclusivo, and my first Cabaiguan. 3 very good cigars!
