We'll fellars, I am going to Sin City Tommorow. My wonderful wife had the trip arranged for my birthday. I am a lucky guy.

I just wanted to brag about it a little because I am so excited. I have just packed up the cigars that I will be taking. I will only be there 5 days but I figure that I will be smoking 3 sticks a day and I added a few extras so I would have a variety. I hope to be able to take a few notes on the cigars when I smoke them, but I probably won't take the time to do that.

Anyway, the inventory will consist of: (again... this is a shameless post) :D :p

This time tomorrow night, I will be puffin' on one of these bad boys in Vegas while standing at the Craps Table! WoooHoooooo! :D

I thought a very long time on whether or not to take them. I thought I would let them rest a bit first and also wait for a more special occasion. Maybe when my kids graduate college. ;)

Is that all you're taking? ;) :D :D :D

SD have a great time!
 
Nice lineup Stack. I think you've got the right idea as I usually suck down about 5/day myself when I'm in Vegas. It's not hard when you can smoke almost anywhere :thumbs:
 
:(

I didn't smoke very many from my list. I couldn't bring myself to smoke the real good 'uns.

I smoked:

ISOM H Upmann Mag 46 - '03
All Three ISOM Montecristo No 4 - 2003
ISOM Montecristo No 2 - '02 - gave it away
ISOM Bolivar Royal Corona - 01
ISOM Romeo y Julieta Exhibicion No 4 - '03

They were all really good. I enjoyed each of them but I never got ahead the whole time I was in Vegas. I went down $600 the first 4 hours and never came out of the slump.

I just couldn't bring myself to smoke a celebratory <sp> cigar with that record. ???

The good thing is... There's always next time. ...and I still have my very best cigars! :)
 
I am getting ready to fire up the Padron 1926 Anniversary #6 Natural.

I'll let you know how it is. :thumbs:

TasteNotes
The taste of this cigar didn't turn me on much. I think it is because it is a Natural. I absolutely love the 1964 maduros. This is the first 26 I have had. It is not sweet at all. All dirt and wood. Lots of spice. The last half had tons of nicotine. I like nicotine. The last 98 PAM had black tar running out of the end and it was by far the best cigar I have ever had... ISOM included.

OverallNotes
Visually, I was very impressed. Tasting the cigar left a lot to be desired. It just didn't do it for me. ??? If this had been a blind review, I would not have smoked it past the ash falling off. This cigar was gifted to me and out of respect, I smoked it all.

I would recommend this cigar to anyone because it was a very smooth cigar. "I" just didn't like the flavor. Everything else was perfect about it. It wasn't a rocket and you could easily tell by tasting that it was a premium stick. I just didn't like the taste. The maduros are much better. At least they are in the 64 line. I haven't had a 26 maddy. Someone can feel free to send me one. :D
 
I would really be interested in hearing what you thought of the 26 nats. I smoke Maduro when I have a choice.
