Smoked a San Lotano Oval torpedo.  It was ok, not amazing.

I've seen a cigar review on YouTube where the reviewer was talking about the cigar having a spicy tip when you hold it in your mouth. Like a hot sauce kick. Did you notice this ?
 
Muriel Coronella . I know it's a machine made cigar, but I read some good reviews on them and wanted to try them out. I liked em. I think the tip is sweetened. Has kind of a granola taste until the half way point. Then it gets a bitter, nut type flavor I think.
After the halfway point it starts to get pretty warm, so I stopped it at around the 1/4 point.

Dave, how were they?

The Sir Winnie smoked really well and gave me some great tastes, Barry. I'm not sure if the remainder of my box will last for another 5 yrs (which was my plan). The thin, little ninfas do well with a smoking environment void of any wind, but it too was tasty! 
 
Smoked a Boli petit belicoso '09 and another La Corona corona at work. 
 
Leccia White (tasty) and new Camacho Crojo (meh) on Saturday. Sunday I raided the QSH bag for the golf course and went with an Asylum (ok) and a Guillermo Leon (enjoyed thoroughly).

Right now capping off Monday with a very tasty H Up gifted to me at the QSH. Thanks Dave!
 
H Upmann Vintage Cameroon.  Found it in the bottom of my neglected humidor.  Well, not completely neglected, I did keep the humidity happy while I took a break from cigars.  Alas, I back to my old vices... a new box of VSGs and more than a few winning bids on that evil auction site.   :whistling:
 
Enjoyed a LP No. 9 Toro with a bud who had a Tat Regios Reserva and some IPA's.
 
Was a great Monday night.
 
Smoked an Ortega Mini....the version I had said 'Full Flavor' or something like that on the box. They came in a cardboard sleeve with 4 cigars inside.
 
The description is as follows..."The cigar features a rich smooth Eucadorian Habano wrapper. Inside this beautiful wrapper is Nicaraguan Cuban-seed long-filler and a Dominican binder. The Mini Cigar Habano is a cigar for the medium smoker. They are skillfully handcrafted at the PDR factory in the Dominican Republic."
 
This was the second one I smoked so far and I must say that I didn't like it one bit. It was very earthy, almost dirty in flavor that left a nasty taste on my tongue....from the beginning to the point I had to pitch it...again...before the half way point. I smoked it that far thinking it would get better, but for such a small format, it should be good from the jump. I know there will be quite a few of you that will like this little stick, just not me.
 
I had high hopes for these at $3.75 a stick and I'll still give the Natural & Maduro a shot...but as for these, they're just not in my wheelhouse.
