Today's Smoke II

Status
Not open for further replies.
Had a '98 RyJ Churchill. The cigar was enjoyable but I think it was past its prime. Far too mild for me.
 
This evening: CAO LX2 robusto, a fantastic full bodied flavor profile, just what I was looking for.
 
Joya de Nicaragua Gran Consul. Man, this thing was packed and took forever to burn. It was from '08.
 
After lunch, I fired up an H. Upmann Magnum 46 (my first H. Upmann) on my back lawn. The draw cold tasted of dried fruit and sweet tobacco. The first third was a tad harsh, it left a bitter aftertaste. That changed abruptly in the second third, settling into a very smooth taste with thicker smoke, the bitterness completely gone. To contrast the smoothness, it left a hot pepper feeling on the lips, although not on the tongue. The last third settled into a thicker, creamy smoke with heavy chocolate notes. The spiciness drifted away and I was left with a very smooth, satisfying, chocolatey smoke that you could almost chew on. Quite complex, and more than I was expecting!

This stick was given to me in a trade with a first rate BOTL on this board. Thanks bro!

Last night was a Diplo #1 from '05 that was excellent
Tonight I am smoking a 2 yr old WOAM that is very good so far....always a reliable smoke.
 
Started with a Padron no.9 maddie before lunch,
nubbed a Lost City robo and THAT was a great cigar (now I know why you hoard those things MuMike

)
and to test my stock, a La Riqueza no.5.

One more undecided stick after dinner and I will be ready for work tomorrow!
 
I had a Dunhill Signed Range Corona and it was quite magnificent... I need more of these!!!

Had a San Cristobal Fabuloso and an '06 Shark today . . . two of my favorites, and they certainly did not disappoint.

Wow, Clint! And I thought my lineup this weekend was good! :blush:
 
Cuchilios Cubanos 46 on the way into work.

This is a great, cheap smoke. I need to order more soon.
 
I was taking some stuff out of the Beast and ran into a bunch of Opus X bands. :0 So I smoked a Johnny-O Cazador Shagfoot. Then it started to ran and called it a morning with a little over 1" left.
 
This weekend I smoked...

A Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Corona (Natural) while I worked the grill on the patio for dinner with friends on Saturday night.

A Fuente Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau Saturday night after dinner as the guys congregated around the fire pit helping the kids out from time to time with their s'mores.

A Padron 1964 Anniverary Series Monarca (Maduro) on Sunday night as I watched my beloved Lakers bite the dust to Los Suns in the 4th quarter. The loss prevented me from truly enjoying what should have been an exceptional cigar.
