Very late with this Sunday Morning smoke.
AJFernandez New World Connecticut Robusto...5x50 enjoyed with coffee and... good sounds from Buena Vista Social Club,
plus a touch or two of Bob Marley to go along with some most welcome Sunshine.
Nice smooth smoking cigar, very even burn line, the first of these I've smoked. Thanks Alan S.
Back to real time now. First smoke on the first Monday of the Month.
Paul Stulac Classic Blend Lord Lonsdale...6x44 lil flame applied and here's that good doin smoke.
Now for some tunes and it's smoking on the front porch time.
Edit: 9:07 AM 05-10.
This size cigar fits quite neatly between the Corona and the Lancero...for me, and since I'm a slow smoker anyway,
the burn time for a Lonsdale is close to or smetimes a bit longer than a Lancero.
Both are good choices for a long(ish) smoke outdoors before Winter's here.
Last Night - The Mummy with Knob Creek. Really nice stick.
I like the Rock Patel Cargo more than some of their long filler marques.Quote:

When I've had them, I gave Cargos because they didn't cost me much but mainly because they're a decent smoke. All thanked me save one guy who started chirping "Oh, you save the good stuff for yourself and give us the cheap sh*t!". He'd never tried the Cargo but he knew their price point and assumed their quality. A couple of more comments and the other Cargo smokers thought that their gift was tainted.
This guy took the stick out of the cello and broke it in half. My brother-in-law (owner of the house), grabbed the broken cigar and threw it into the canal and had some choice words for the eejit who sat in silence while we smoked and when the Cargo smokers finished they all said that they enjoyed them.
2013 Arganeese Cafe Dominicana Breakfast Blend (whad'ja expect?) with water on another dreary day. Great nose on this stick.
The fish won't come up to feed after all of the debris that fell into the pond, they're not stupid, they take cover when stuff starts falling from the sky. I wish that I spoke fish so I could sound the "all clear".
Tatuaje Petites Brown Label...4x38... Closed foot,easy light sharp burn line start to finish solid medium flavourful an hour and thirteen minutes.
This is one I will surely get more of ...Thanks WNYTONY for the introduction to this Tatuaje I'd otherwise not have met.
On this nice Monday mowing day I decided to cool down with a 4 Kicks. Great smoke!

Glad you were looking for one @Nature as I found the three by that them you wanted in a 6 pack sampler giving me one to try as well. Probably wouldn't have bought them otherwise...

Had a Short Story Maduro this afternoon while waiting for my wife to get off work. I only smoke 1 a day so I am done.
On a chilly night (62*) before I try to watch some football.

WOAM. Only the second one of these Ive had. I expected ... more? Pretty good but not particularly remarkable.
2013 La Aurora Connecticut Robusto with coffee light on a cool but lovely morning.
Smoking through a 5-pack sampler of the La Aurora lines in Robusto that was bought from the Devil Sight. All 5 eyeballed thinner than their stated 50-RG, ~47-48, so I put this one next to a Mac Hyde Park (49RG) and it isn't as thick (~47). Perhaps why they were on cBid and I mean this as an observation not a complaint.
This is a good smoke, but I havent tried enough of either to draw a conclusion. Very surprised how rough these looked and crooked bands. They appear to have been rolled under enemy fire.Quote:

2013 Gurkha Signature Gran Toro with Diet black Cherry. This is a pretty well made Gurkha line, pretty good milder stick that's burning well.

This stick has a Honduran Connecticut wrapper rather than the Ecuadorian Connecticut that I've smoked a lot recently (and reviewed). Diminished cream and citrus pop and more like Dominican Olor in body. I've had perhaps 5 of these (in different sizes) and they're OK but some had inconsistent construction. This one is the best that I've had but overall I'm lukewarm, expected better, and I don't find them entirely satisfying.

2012 Vegas Cubana (by Don Pepin Garcia) Generoso (Toro) with dark tea lightly sweetened.
Bought ten, smoked most, this may be my last. I gave one to my niece's fiancee. Very nice, full flavored and a lot of spice. Changed a little with age but I liked them as much fresh where the flavors were very crisp.
Remedios Clemenceau with the CT Broadleaf wrapper. These are a two year "project" to come around to a very nice smoke, but people wait a lot longer for their CC smokes......
I've been dying to try one of these since I started seriously smoking 2 years ago.

So I go in the humi & find this happened to this beauty...
http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/...pst5pu2sil.jpg
Hope it doesn't crack any farther!
Smoking 2 pudgy monsters tonight. Chuck and Tiff.
Got past the crack in the wrapper, but not what I expected at all.
And wouldn't you know it...

Another crack develops!! :(
That's a shame for that to happen! Those were the very words I used on my first ex-wife.... ;)Quote:

Yessir! But I was expecting a stronger more spicy smoke. And a heavier smoke production! It had decent flavor, but I prefer the Reserva line if this is what the Cojuna is. I only had it for about six months, so I didn't expect it to be so muted.Quote:
