    La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Magnifico

    It's hard to say what I would have rated it blind . . . it's certainly not a bad smoke at all. Even though my expectations were high, I'd still smoke another one. It's a solid $8 smoke. There are better smokes out there for the same price or less, but that's almost always the case, isn't it?

    La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor Magnifico

    Well, My local B&M got a couple of boxes of these in this past weekend in a couple of different sizes. Robusto and Toro I believe. Anyways, there were several of us regulars there, so we decided to fire them up while watching some college hoops. The toro and robusto tasted very similar so I'll...

    I had the Mi Amor Magnifico today. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure why it's in the top 10.

    I smoked one this past weekend and thought it was very good! Took me about 2 hours to smoke it. Not sure if it's worth double the price of the Padron 3000 Maduro I smoked after it, but I'd definitely smoke a few more of them!

    Honeymoon in Europe

    Paris is nice. Staying at a nice hotel near one of the main train stations works well, that way you'll be near a metro stop, and close to one of the stations, in case you take the train from the UK to Paris. It's a fairly easy city to navigate. But the people there are hit or miss as to whether...

    How to keep my port wine in a good shape?

    Also, along with what sonuvabum said about oxidation . . . the older the bottle of wine, the quicker the oxidation will happen, which means the wine won't last as long once opened. Learned this lesson the hard way, at the cost of about 1/3 of a bottle of a really nice 10 year old Bordeaux. Now...

    Cigar Aficionado's Top 10 List

    I was going to say . . . if they're smoked completely blind, then price couldn't factor in. And they said on their site that BHK is a great smoke now, but will be a lot better with some age, so perhaps the bhk won't be #1 this year, but next

    Cigar Aficionado's Top 10 List

    I wondered the same thing. The Padron box press is hard to miss. And though I've never smoked a real ISOM, I'm told the distinct flavor of one is unmistakable from another smoke, say something from the Dominican Republic.

    Cigar Aficionado's Top 10 List

    I was surprised to see the No.45 natural on there as well. It's great to see some more affordable smokes in the top 10 so far this year though! I'd say a BHK will be #1
