Alec Bradley Mundial...5.125x52 I've not smoked a lot of Alec Bradley cigar thus is by a long of them shot the best of them.Eighty minutes of smoking pleasure.
This was sent to me by Gordo1473 Brian in his amazing over the top selection of fine cigars,thanks ever so much for your extreme kindness to this old Bum.
Seldom see these nice cigars that seen to fly below the radar, some are missing the pleasure of smoking them that's certain.Quote:

Don Carlos Personal Reserve

Been a minute since I lit a stick,,,Felipe Dominaca
Was going to have a Don Carlos for Fuente Friday, but went for an Aging Room 356ii instead.
A little strong for me with not much food in my stomach, but tasty.
Looking forward to seeing what it tastes like with some time in the humidor.
Flor Del Valle... Las Brunas...4.5x48 Once again, open the Humidor,intending to pull out a Churchill to smoke and wind up with another from Warped Cigars.
I've no experience with aging cigars,find it rather difficult to believe that these could be much improved by a long rest.
Had a Padron 1964 Family Reserve last night. Wouldn't stay lit, uneven burn, bitter. It had about a year of rest on it. I wonder if these need to be smoked right away? Last few had several months of rest & were sensational. Still have one more left. Now I am thinking that one will suck balls too. This is why I rarely buy $30 cigars
2013 Oliva "G" Robusto with Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry.
Cigar is poorly made, wrapper starting to crack and burning like a twig (near halfway done in 10 minutes). Taste is fair. A mediocre bundle quality.
Very disappointing.

2013 Oliva "G" Robusto with Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry.
A redux with a much better cigar, improved in every way but the inconsistency between the same cigar, in the same package is striking.
Usually if I have Anniversary Series I smoke them ASAP, the x000 series can be better with a year or two but thats about it. Just my 2 cents.Quote:

From what I hear Padrons do smoke better without any real rest/age on them. There was a post referencing an article that said Padron ages their cigars before the put them on the market.Quote:

2013 Saison (Oliva) Robusto.
Working my way through this new bundle and this is better than the Oliva branded sticks.
Had these today.

This is the way every good cigar should smoke, George Bowman provided me with this and other Southern Draw cigars.
I will be picking up more of them very soon. Thanks much George.

can't be precise, but think it was about a year and a half ago when I noticed an abrupt drop in the Oliva G cigars, not sure of the size, but think a Lonsdale.
Cigars purchased from two retail shops exhibited the same lack and the wrappers hadn't the shiny look I was used to seeing. The salesman/counterman in the one shop said he'd noticed the Oliva G cigars had changed, said it was most likely do to a less than good crop. Don't recall smoking any of the Oliva G cigars since that time.
Glad you were able to enjoy the next one you chose.
Cheers.

You may be right that it was a weak crop but that would mean that Oliva sells their best leaf. The construction has been as bad as abysmal. I'm not as adventurous as you guys and I tend to pay more for brands that I have a track record with. These weren't expensive, ~$60 per, (smaller) but if Oliva thinks that this is the quality that should bear their name then I can't remain their customer.
2013 Oliva Connecticut Robusto with New Mexico Pinon coffee, light (thanks Chico @Chico.Ortiz108) and a chilly morning. Better stick from this lot.
later...
Doubled down on the Oliva Connecticut but this one is mediocre in construction and flavor.
