Two of my favorites right there, I smoked the 46ring, corona larga, too. Great balance between spice and sweetness with just the right kick for me.
I smoked my first Oliva Cain Daytona today(robusto). Not bad - great construction - good flavor. But nothing to separate it from the competition. But a solid smoke, IMO.
And, of course, another '08 RASCC. I may be addicted to RASCC! :love:

In my ongoing effort to break out of my typical cigar mold (pun intended) I tried a Villager 1888. It was flat, boring, and had a stomach rolling sweet smell to the smoke so I only got about half way through. I won't soon be trying that again. To get the taste (or lack there of) out of my mouth and nose I lit up a young Boli RC. They always hit the spot.

Sampled an El Centurion robo while doing light pruning in the yard. I remember buying a handful of them when they were plentiful and don't remember them tasting this good. Time has been good to them, or else my palate can now appreciate them!
Also lit up a 2011 My Father LE toro while on duty. That cigar had me buzzed and I was only halfway through it. I liked that it was a full bodied cigar but when it was done, I have to say the flavor profile didn't fit what i would consider box worthy.
I still appreciated the opportunity to try them, so a shout out goes to bruddah Isy for the sticks. Thank you sir!

My first Padron 2000, today.
I made two mistakes, both of which I recognize and own up to. First, I bought a fiver from CI. Second, I only let it sit overnight before firing one up. I KNEW that anything that comes in here needs to sit about a month in the humidor before I'm really happy with it, but I was really anxious to try one of these after hearing so many talk them up. It was a complete failure. There was no flavor in it, at all, though I kept waiting and hoping that something would happen, which is the only reason I didn't just give in and toss it. In a few weeks I'll come back to one of the remaining four and see what a difference a nice rest makes.

While I generally agree with you, letting any cigar shipment from anywhere rest a little bit before attempting to smoke one is a good idea, I'm not sure it would have made that big a difference. In other words if you just seriously didn't like that Padron 2000, waiting a month or a year or whatever isn't going to magically make it a cigar you'll like - just an older cigar you don't care for...
If for example, you LOVE padron 2000's, and smoke a new one soon after receiving it, and its profile is a little different from what you normally like about them, say its a little harsh, or whatever, that's when waiting/aging pays off... thats my $0.02 anyway.
Bottom line: Sometime other people will simply LOVE a cigar YOU don't like...
That's why they make soooo many different blends.

Holy Lance from an old box at a local B&M. Great cigar to kick the weekend! Not to mention, I smoked it with Ketch and Mr. G!
