I used to work right next to the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, KY. I have always been more of a white liquor fan but they definately make some nice burbon. We'd be regulars on the tour to get free our samples. Let me tell you though, the stench that the mash would put off during the...

Thx for the input. They need to nap for a week or so, but after that I will burn a few sticks and report back. My tastes have definately changed in 20+ years of smoking. Even 3-4 yr old Opus that I have stashed away haven't mellowed enough for me. These just might be the ticket then. Thx Bob

After reading some issues about several missing shipments and unexpected letters, I figured I would swing by my local tobacconist. I picked up a box of each of A/F 858 Sungrowns and 858 Rosados. I also picked up 2 Padron 1926 #35 and 2 Ashton VSG Illusions. I have read that the 858 Sungrowns...

Good luck on the next chapter in your life. There are a lot worse places than Vegas to get hitched. Have fun Bob

I actually got a second one. If you don't hear back from them soon, let me know and I will send it to you. Bob

Had one of my 3 Opus Chili Peppers from my 2005 fun box last night. Not sure what posessed me to burn it last night other than I have periodic enlightenments that cigars are to be smoked, not saved to be viewed/worshipped. Last night was one of those nights. Anyway, similar Opus flavor to...

I have smoked many Boli PC's and CJ's. However I just cracked open my first box of Boli RC's (Mar '09) and proceeded to grab one for my evening dog walk. What I am trying to figure out is, why did it take me so long to try one of these, since I have always enjoyed Boli's? It had all the...

Not sure they are my favorite non-opus, but I am starting to enjoy the new Fuente Rosado Sundgrowns. I had another one yesterday while walking the dog. They have in initial sweetness to them, and then mellow out nicely, besides price has been right. That said, I am still very partial to the...

I've only had the PC and the CJ. Both are great, but PC is top-notch. I just picked up a box of RC so I am looking forward to trying one of them.

After work, the wife and I sat out on the deck. I torched a Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R 52. Decent smoke, I've had three of these and despite the great construction and perfect burn each time I've wished they had a little more flavor....I'll have to revisit another in a few months.

I am guessing I am not alone when I say I wish I had 2 hours to smoke a toro, churchill, etc.... I am lucky to find 45 minutes to an hour, so I am usually buying and smoking a PC or Robo as my largest cigars. While I a not rushing, I am usually walking the dog which in turn has me burning them...

Since things here in the Mid Atlatic are now pretty cold and dry, I have switched to maduro wrappers while walking the dog. That said, I had my second Cohiba Secretos in about 5 days. Last year I picked up two boxes of Cohiba Secretos. The box I smoked last year had a lot of problems with the...

From Green Flash Brewing, A Le Freak that I picked up at Whole Foods the other day. Half Imperial Pale Ale and half Belgian Trippel and very good.

Had a PLPC while walking the dog last evening. Unfortunately I have blown through my cab way too quickly with these and for the price there might not be a much better stick imo. Thx Bob

After a very long week with health scares by both my wife and one of my daughters, I had my last Padron Millenium last night while we entertained a few friends on our deck. I paired that with a Heavy Seas Big DIPA (double IPA). Friday night, when I finally got back into town, a PLPC and a...
