You've gotten an early start on the day, something I wish I'd done, one more cup of coffee and I'll light up a Quesadad Reserva Privada...4.75x54.Quote:

Quite a bit!Quote:

Those Obsidian's get so much better with some rest, like The Ramon Bueso Genesis! Good budget smoke relatively ROTT, but definitely better with at least 6 months on them IMHO.Quote:

PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura....whew, I'm out of breath typing that one...
Smoke is an understatement, surprised the fire department hasnt showed up!

Hope those firemen, when sitting around playing cards or gathered at the pool tables, fully appreciate having quality smokes right at hand.
I did. Not so much the first third but it really opened up after that. Good stick.Quote:

Camacho Ecuador. Still on the fence about this one.
Edit: Nope, don't care for this one at all. I find more and more I just don't like habano wrappers.

I rarely smoke the same cigar in a 1-2 week period but I truly enjoyed the Viaje Skull & Bone Ten Ton Ten Tess that i smoked another one tonight and it was just as jizztastic as the first one.
Great smoke!
Just finished a Murcielago Toro Grande 6.5x54...while watching, once again the Movie Femme Fatale with a pair of Tsingtaos to make it a China -France -Nicaragua

Despite all the calamities in our modern world, we've at least made cross-culture attainable to most and that's to be admired. If we, as a species, survive another 1000 years it may, in part, be due to our appreciation of other cultures that spans borders.Quote:

I continue to do penance, smoking up buying mistakes of my past, although I did sneak a delicious Pueblo Dominicana Toro last night between the Espinosa Sequel Robusto, 2 x John Bull Bulldog and 2 x Torano Colisseum Robusto.
This morning is another Sequel, but a Churchill. Yum, another 2 inches of mediocrity. To be fair, these cost me ~.85c a stick (shipped).
I'll post a comparison of these sticks in Reviews. Hope you're having a beautiful morning.
Thanks Pete.Quote:

I'm writing up a comparison of Ecuador CT wrapper cigars and have smoked these types all day, (all from 2013).
Espinosa Sequel Robusto.
Palma Real Lonsdale.
Cinco Vegas Double Nickel (smoking now).
With 2 years of age this Double Nickel is very nice and makes me think that I should buy some more of them to cellar. Of course then I wake up and think that I'm a schmuck because I have sooooo many cigars that I've bought (in and out of my right mind) that are waiting to be smoked.
1st 2 Ive tried..vegas never had good luck with vegas...is it worth the dollar....Quote:

I wrote a comparison of cigars that use this wrapper that I'm about to post (can't figure out where I should put it on the forum).

2013 Ramon Bueso Odyssey Torpedo. Better with some age.
Wrote about this on the pipe side but today, I reconnected with Kennedy Barnes, maker of the James Upshall pipes (their heyday), after about 27 years. It's Great!
LC46. I am enjoying this one better than the first one I smoked ROTT. My guess is after a year or two these will be very good.
Believe I'll hold onto mine, then.Quote:
