What did you smoke today (NC) II

I have so far liked all Oliva cigars I have tried, those being, Serie G Special G Maduro & Cam, Serie V Melanio, and even they Factory selects ( apparently Serie O seconds and quiet enjoyable IMHO )
So I had to give this one a try, it's been on my short list for a bit now. Again thanks to my friend @jhedrick83
2015 Oliva Master Blends III

Nearly perfect draw, a mild spice to it, as well as a leathery cedar mix. Very consistent from beginning to end, and by end I mean burnt fingers nub.

Looking at some of your recent Cigar pix and reading the posts, i'm starting to believe you don't really miss those dumpsters a lot.
Hope the hand(s) are coming along nicely.
Bob.

Just lit this one. Jericho Hill 12 Honest Men Lancero...7.5x38. Listening to Grateful Dead '77 Swing Auditortium show...great music first rate sound quality all the way. Good time to wet the whistle and watch the night.

Yup, that's the one I keep going back to excellent sound quality.

First time with this brand. Impressed with the flavor to cost.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3d9b2f2f5a.jpg

Another one from @WNYTONY that I have been really looking forward to trying.
Liga Privada Unico Serie Papas Fritas

Great little stick, nice draw and burn line. It had a very woodsy, toasted flavor, that intensifies near the end, with hints of coco and spice in the background. Will get more of these at some point soon for sure, thanks Tony.

Last one Thursday. Flor de Las AntillasBox Pressed Robusto...5x50. Excellent smoke from Pepin,smoked on front porch, favourite smoking spot, think because as young kid late 1930s -early 1940's used to sit on front porch in the evening with my Grandfather while he smoked his rolled by hand Havanas. This time it was with some Rum & Coke whilst once again listening to The Grateful Dead Live at Swing Auditorium on 1977-02-26 plus Jerry Garcia - Oregon State Penitentiary Complete (Acoustic) - (5-5-82)



Burn time: One Hour and Twenty Seven Minutes,

Hope you enjoyed it. I'm a little excited for the season right now. If they figure out the kicker issues and everyone stays healthy it should be a good season.

Why howdy thar Kayla,

Nice picture of that cigar, don't know what sort of plant s you have there, but the sight of the two
'leaves' curling in to deliver a Vampire bite to your finger sure is freightening.

Guess there may well be some sort of Bermuda Onion Triangle time ~space warp twixt here and your location.
Can't recall exactly when I last smoked a La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor but it was very nice indeed.
However...
I'm certain that when I did smoke one of those aside from a little nub end all the rest was...ash.
You wrote..."God, I love this cigar. No matter how many times I smoke it it never bores me"
How do you manage to smoke that one cigar over & over again ?
I's it something unique to the locale you're, perhaps inadvertently, revealing?

Getting my weekend started..

Ezra Zion All My Exes Lancero From @jhedrick83
http://i.imgur.com/XjfWlJC.jpg
Very enjoyable, also only my 2nd Lancero so far.

No pics today but got to meet up with @Brimy and @Hardheaded at Buffalo Cigars for a few smokes this evening. Brian was in town dropping off his boy at college and pm'd me this time and the stars aligned so that all 3 of us could make it.

Great meeting you two and while it certainly wasn't the epic @DogRockets Orgy - it was a nice threeway, great music, the Yankees lost and we got in a little practice for next year's slutfest, right ?

My selections
Tatuaje Black Corona Gorda
Las Calaveras '17 Robusto
Luminosa Robusto

Friday Afternoon cigar. H R Sublimes...6.5x54. Smoked the last one of these Non Havava Hiroshi Robiana gems a while back. But today pulled out the one I'd I hid from myself for "someday." That day came round bit sooner than I expected. If unlike His Excellency Sir. Dog Rockets you have to light your cigar yourself, the closed foot on the Sublimes makes that perfectly even light so nearly effotless, and I believe a closed foot allows the blender's nuanced
to really shine. Sure have thoroughly enjoyed smoking every Sublime I've had. Did have a pic or two of these, Photobucket's holding those for ransom.
Burn time was, Two Hours and Six Minutes.

No Cigar pix.

How about something fishy?

This one was taken with an Argus A loaded with DuPont film. Once again, it'll take a click or two see what Tuna look like without opening a can.

Tony & Dustin, thanks for showing this city kid some hospitality. The lounge was nice and the live music was a nice touch. As I said last night, I have 4 years of trekking up here so hopefully we can do this again.
Dustin, I'm probably going to pass on The BBQ. Maybe next year

Rocky Patel, Olde World Reserve robusto

Either these have been resting too long or my tastes have changed because it seems pretty monochromatic so far; 95% wood with a bit of sweetness and the most minute hint of pepper. At least it's not floral. Don't like floral...

My first Brazilia was a tubo gifted to me by @gordo1473 when I was first starting out. I loved them from the first puff! Haven't had another tubo but I always keep at least a few Brazilias resting.

Spent the day spoiling the kids on a last hurrah before school starts back up. Sea Life Aquarium, Legoland, and Rainforest Cafe. Now it's my turn!

You have everything sitting ! Good solid smoke but didn't wow me. I liked the Icon/now Trademark much more than this one. Burned great and smoked well but not big on flavor.
