I'm not good at reviewing cigars. The maduro wrapper was slightly oily and tiny beads formed on it during the last inches. The wrapper was tasty. The smoke flavor was medium in power and intensity. I enjoyed the 5 Vegas 'A' very much but was a little preoccupied with what I was doing, jarring up some pipe tobacco.Quote:

Smoked a locally rolled cigar my manager brought me back from a trip to Honduras earlier today. It wasn't half bad.
Later this evening, I decided I wanted another stick and was in the mood for something mild, so I pulled out this Alec Bradley Connecticut. It's not bad. Definitely fits the mild description, I'll say that.

Casa Fernandez Anniversario 2014
Smoked one of the new Hamlet cigars today while putting up the outside Christmas lights. Just not my cup of tea. Perhaps some time will do these wonders. Till then I'll just stick to his customs which are beyond amazing.

Oh and a Illusione Epernay after.
Didn't smoke the Gurka because my buddy brought in a Ashton 898 and it was goooooood! Smooth mild flavor with a nice toasty, nutty finish with a creamy smoke. I'd defiantly do another one.Quote:

Maybe this Guerrilla Warfare is an odd choice, but it's lit now, at 5.25x43 it's a bit of a contrast to the Paul Stulac Fantasma I smoked earlier, that was a hefty Box Pressed Cigar at 6x58. This un from Viva Republica is really a lightweight in the hand, but much like Roberto Duran...some lightweights are outstanding
Smoking an Espinosa Sequel Robusto
earlier a box-pressed, Nica Libre Toro (better than the current stick).
I found a stash of 15 Montecisto and 10 La Gloria de Cubana Series R along with some decent samplers. Put them all in the 62-rh box and blew a kiss to Good Fortune because I usually forget where I put the lesser stuff.

A.Fuente Hemingway Short Story...4x42~49 Been a while since I've smoked on of these, always a well constructed and pleasing smoke when you sit back relax and just enjoy the cigar, a nice cup of hot coffee only makes it that bit nicer,smoked indoors tonight while trying to catch up a bit on reading.
Found that I'd posted this (above) yesterday, at 1:05 AM in the wrong thread.
Smoking right now a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Corona...5.5x44 This is the second of a pair sent to me by Old Smokey.
Very well constructed, evenly burning, about at halfway point now.
Like this size I do and wish a few other blends that I enjoy smoking had a corona this size in their line up.
Thanks Steve for another fine smoke.
Enjoyed a LFD La Nox. First one of these for me. Pretty darn tasty.

How do you feel that it fits in with the brand? I was disappointed that it wasn't a new head-knockerQuote:

Well, since @Bernardini kicked my ass in Fantasy Football this week I decided to set fire to one of his smokes :angryfire:
Good stick though - thanks for that Andy. You're going down in the playoffs.....

This afternoon I had a 5X54 Sons of Anarchy Black Crown Robusto cigar.:stogie: This cigar has been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 6-30-2015. I was in one of my fuzzy moods and bidded ridiculously low on these cigars and never expected to win; I cannot remember my bid but it was low.:idunno: A week later I got an email that I had won and I said to myself "OK what are you going to do now". After lighting this cigar I got wood, leather, spice with a little sweetness which was consistent throughout the entire cigar. This cigar was not complex, but had this great tobacco flavor; it produced lots of delicious smoke, with a great burn and excellent draw.:lol: I absolutely loved the smell of the tobacco; I lefted the room for a short time and came back in and the smell of this stick was ecstasy.:chicken: This is not a stick that I would smoke often, but every now and then it would be a delight. I topped off this smoke with a large mug of hot coffee and had a relaxing afternoon.:wave:
Wish Pepin was still making those sexy eyed ones.Quote:

Along with a couple of cups of Java, just bout perfect late,late night...or...early morning smoke. Only thing missing is Milkman's Matinee on the radio.
I smoked a CH Paniolo last night. I wasn't that impressed, which is totally sad.
2009 La Gloria de Cubana (~7" x 47-rg) with Dr. Brown's Diet Black Cherry. Seasonally warm day.
These were a JR custom size, sold in boxes of 50, Spanish (no cello). Short story is that the box was fallen upon and cracked so I've been bouncing the remaining few sticks in different humis depending on proximity to use.
Miami made La Gloria de Cubana (mid 1990s and before) were amongst my favored smokes for several years. I found their Dominicans production to be less consistent but generally (quite) good. These JR LGdC, Dominican made, are more similar to the Miami quality.
Gonna have a smoke before the next wave of water hits! 3.22 inches yesterday and expecting 2 more tonight.
