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

Pulled a Headley Grange for the evening. Looked it up and noticed it is a med-full stick so crossed my fingers!

Nice smoke! Another good one I may not have tried had I not bought the 6 shooter sampler from Crowned Heads to send @Nature from his last.

As an aside this stick didn't have any issues as the last few did.

Murcielago Churchill...7x48...late morning early afternoon smoke.

Pudgy Jason tonight. #MonthofMonsters

Just finished off a nice RP Cargo. It's a pretty good cheapie flavorwise, but it's a bit loose.

David, if there was a Darwinian Award for football plays, this play was it. Looked more like a publicity stunt than a football play.


2012/3 La Gloria de Cubana ??. Size is about 5-3/4" x 48-rg. Cafe du Monde (New Orleans) coffee, light.

A blind tasting of sorts. I'm unfamiliar with this La Gloria (different band) and I forgot the details while it's been sitting in my smoking humidor for a few years. Usually nothing lasts more than a couple of months in there.

Excellent construction, well flagged. Beautiful, clean CT type wrapper but a bit darker and more saturated color than Ecuador grown. Initially a tight draw but quickly improved (to firm) and a near perfect burn.

More subtle than CT with a heavy does of Nicaraguan leaf, yet brighter than a Macanudo. Has more depth, body and nuance than either. I taste Dominican and Nicaraguan leaf but there's something else that I can't place (and I don't think is the wrapper). Nice snork that's rich and sweet with a little spice.

Started like a Macanudo with cajones and has gently evolved toward Nic-CT in sweetness but more cream and less acid. An exceptional Connecticut stick.

Beast of a smoke!!

Between a cold snap here in NY and work, I have not smoked anything in some time.

However, I bucked the trend today!
