That looks awesome. Please tell us how it smoked after its long nap.

I think I agree with you. I smoked the biggest one and it only lasted 40 min. The ash fell off really easy and never longer than 1/2 inch. Flavors at the finish were good and it burned straight but nowhere near as good as the cheaper Undercrown Shade and no way competes with similar priced cigars like a Diamond Crown or a Davidoff. I was hoping the disappointing experience was do to the high winds and 50 degree weather I smoked it in. I've got one more...I'll see.

Close to a 2 1/2 hour smoke...and it was fabulous. Perfect draw, perfect burn, never went out or even needed a touch up. A few years rest has really done wonders for this stick. It has mellowed out but become more complex. Last few I had over the past couple years were all disappointing. This one is almost worth the silly $20 msrp. Purely subjective but looks like some NC's can age well.

My Father #4 Lancero...7.5x38...about a quarter of the way and it's burning nicely, would likely have chosen something else...burn with the rain,way too
damp to be smoking on porch, so this thin one is being reduced to ashes. 41st wedding anniversary smoke.

Wow!!! This cigar was just amazing. One of the best that I've had in quite some time. (besides a couple high end CC's)

Fallen Angel robusto, in tandem with @Usafvetwife for a dual review. Notes to follow in review thread. We did this as a way to highlight the subjective nature of personal taste...

Happy Anniversary Bob! I just raised a cup in your honor.

2012 Oliva "O" Maduro Robusto with water (no ice). Nicer outside now than it was at any time today,

Happy anniversary and congratulations on 41 years! You picked a great cigar for the day too, that #4 is one of my all-time favorites.

Finally got my first cigar in for the weekend. A Tat Pudgy Frank. Smoke this one slow. It's deep and complex. Don't rush this one!

First cigar to kick off another all-day study session. This has 2 years on it and has only gotten better. The Connecticut shade hasn't given up an inch during its nap. I don't know why it's been so long since I smoked one of these, but this is a nice reminder of how tasty they are -

2013 Arganese Cafe Dominicana Breakfast Blend. Iced Water. I was confused this morning because there was a lot of light outside, then I remembered the sun.

Watched the Jets-Dolphins game from London @9:30 this morning. Jets, other than special teams, looked good. Officiating was poor, kept the Fins in the game and then took them out of it. Controlling the destiny of games is NOT the job of officials and the bad calls (eventually to both sides) should embarrass the NFL, especially in a London game. If American fans are annoyed by penalties that they're used to, imagine the turn-off to English fans?

Yeah, and I don't even remember where I got it! I'm sure it was in a bomb but not sure from whom. It was slightly milder than most Pepins, yes, but I really liked it. I'd smoke more of em.

That is one of Pepins I keep meaning to try, but aways forget about...now will have to grab one or five.
Maybe the mildest of all the DPG cigars I've smoked was the Vegas Cubanas...discontinued now, but should you chance to find some, it is one not be missed.
Like your "mini review."

It was definitely worth the price. It wasn't THAT mild, just a notch or two below the average. I hadn't heard of that Vegas, will snap it up if I ever see one of those.

Either way, this was way better than the other milder DPG I've tried, the MF Connecticut.

Way too windy for the big rg cigar I had planned, so smoking a Schizo Robusto while I grill up dinner instead.
