Viaje Oro Reserva
http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/...psf6nggr8u.jpg
Hi Andy,
We got the Triple Crown :).
Quesada Reserva riovada...4.75x54, first of these this month for me.
Usually smoke 2-3 cigars pay, but only had a My Father #1 Robusto yesterday.
After so much time since last smoke I'll be trying to see if I can sense any flavor transitions while smoking this cigar.
The size of this Quesada Reserva Privada reminds me of the same sized Compay that Camacho produced fora short while.
Camacho tried to get as close as they could to the Cuban Compay, which was a Cohiba limited run, think it was Cohiba made to honor
Compay Segundo who was a roller at the Cohiba factory, but of course noted for his music, especially as a member of the Buena Vista Socal Club.
He was only rarely pictured not smoking a cigar other than when performing,on stage or in the Buena Vista Social Club movie.
Once Ry Cooder "found", re- assembled this group of greatly talented music makers, who had been virtually forgotten outside their native Cuba.
No Camacho cigar I've smoked came at all close to their Compay.
While the Quesada Reserva Privada is I think a good cigar, it does fall well short of the Camacho version of the Compay.
That is one of very few cigars I do wished I'd rested/aged boxes of.

Yes, it was very nice. Definitely no Cuban, but rich, complex, smoky, burned well. Leather & hardwood notes, with some sweetness.Quote:

Enjoying a great cigar and the great sights and sounds of my front yard.

All you need now is a nice drink to complete that island feel.Quote:

Two firsts going on now. Smoking a My Father and also my first cigar in a lancero size.
This is one of my all time favorites (in my meager 2 years smoking regularly)!

fox huntin, with this little thing from @JollyRogers ...
Been brush hogging at the farm a good part of the day. My friend jumped in the John Deere to give me some relief, so I'm chilling on the Bach porch with a Savinelli 2007 Nic Reserve and a dose of brandy and a cold beer. Damn beautiful sunset. While I was mowing I seen deer, quail, pheasant, turkey, $hItload of dove and what appeared to be a young coyote that lost his mama...

One of the many I still have to try. This would be a lot easier if they can only make around a hundred cigars...Quote:

WooHoo!!
Paul Stulac White Blinding Light Robusto...5x54...taking advantage of slightly cooler night with low humidity to relax on front porch with this cigar.
All pipes yesterday but started today with
2013 Gran Habano Connecticut Robusto. Had I included this marque in my Connecticut comparison I would have graded it a B-.
.
I liked it more than the Jackal but it didn't blow me away flavor wise. I think the Anarchy is a better cigar but none of these special releases are as good as the Black Label CG or Bon Chasseur to my palate.Quote:
