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

[NeverBend]

Good morning all, another glorious day here and I hope where you are too.

2013 John Bull Bulldog. No apparent change with age.

You've gotten an early start on the day, something I wish I'd done, one more cup of coffee and I'll light up a Quesadad Reserva Privada...4.75x54.
The choice of cigar is a bit tricky, choose a larger size and I run the risk of being driven indoors or being consumed by the heat at a faster rate than
the cigar.Hopefully today's temps will not achieve the scorch level Wednesday's reached.

How much do you think the flavoring has dissipated over the year and a half rest?

Quite a bit!
If I had to put a number on it I would say about 50%. Still get the sweetness but it is different from when I first got them. If I ever get more I will not sit on them, they will get sparked within weeks.

Obsidian half-corona (4.5" x44)... Nice little smoke, I think I picked it up from sullen. Obsidian was one of the first cigars I tried back in '13 when I started. Was a nice re-visit, will have to re-visit some more of the early ones... 5 Vegas, Obsidian, Graycliff G2, Torano

Those Obsidian's get so much better with some rest, like The Ramon Bueso Genesis! Good budget smoke relatively ROTT, but definitely better with at least 6 months on them IMHO.

Quesada Reserva privada 4.75x54...very smooth smoke enjoyed on a relatively mild ay, temp 82 humidity 41, a huge contrast to the enervating weather yesterday.

The Cubaos along with the Don Pepin Garcia Vegas Cubanas are two lines/blends that just get better and better as they age,
the cellophane gets darker, the cigars retain the taste as they smoke smoother.

no need to ask if you enjoyed that cigar...know you did.
