What did you smoke today? (Non-Habanos Edition)

Paul Stulac Classic Blend Cross...6x64...one of very few cigars at this ring gauge that I can enjoy smoking.

Jeremy, the Petit Reserva should be as close to full bodied, spicy perfection as you can get. I love 'em, but then again I love anything Tatuaje.

Now that is odd...hits you for your night time snacks...
But cleans out my breakfast goodies...I brew coffee only to find my frog legs gone, and no Balut left...
the changing of tactics must be meant to make us think we're imagining this...
Never steals my nighttime snack, leaves the Sheep Head alone.

If I've left CigarBum on the computer overnight but that My Father smoking SOB replaces it with this video...

I'm going to leave this video on the computer, playing at loudest volume over night hope it'll distract him from raiding the humidor.
Smoked a Pauil Stulac Classic Blend Cross earlier...about to light up a My Father Cedros Deluxe Cervantes now that i've had my fill of Chicken Pork Adobo.
Light up something nice and burn the night away.

RP Cargo along with some Red XIII, an Irish red from a micro in Manassas :)

2013 Arganese Cafe Dominicana with light coffee and Willie & Lobo in the background.

Liked yesterday afternoon's stick (same) so well that I hadn't smoked since then (a while for me). This one's not as good, less sweet and distinct, some construction and wrapper issues but it fits the morning well. It's not finishing with the great aftertaste of the last.

Pete, this caught my eye in your post. " Perhaps it's individual body chemistry."
I too have found a couple of well regarded brands that for whatever reason I do not like. Just something that hits the wrong note, for me.
Know of a couple of cases of people who have bad to very bad reactions to certain drugs/medicines that most will have no problems when taking.
Doctors/pharmatcists tend to use the "it's the same medicine in a generic as in the branded drug." tend not believe anyone who doesn't agree with them.
However...fillers make up the bulk of most meds...and some one thing or some combination may cause problems, even if only for a few people.
Not to hard for me believe that a wrapper or filler leaf grown in one place might affect a blend differently that the same variety grown at another location.
Would expect that even if one were to hate the first brand/blend smoked. There likely is another that they would enjoy. Whole lot of cigars out there.

Stick # 1 from the 2015 SnS kit. Don't know what it is (blends have not been released yet) but damn was it good!!
