After dinner Sunday, always a nice stick.
Have a great start to the week everyone!
Late Sunday Night. ElRey del Mundo Choix Supreme...6.1x49. Nice solid construction no soft spots nor hard one, after having smoked a couple of much stouter cigar over last few day this Toro's 49 Ring Gauge was a welcome change. A good smoke.

Sorry about the picture quality unsharp and colour way off, believe me the cigars looks and smokes a heck of a lot better than this pix shows.
Had a nice Alec Bradley second on the way home from the slug pond :)
Have not been updating as I smoke on here recently.
Too forgetful!
This weekend was; Leaf by Oscar Lancero Maduro, Caldwell The King is Dead and LaDC Mi Amor.
Gotta remember to take a pic as well...

Monday Evening early. Crowned Heads Jericho Hill Long Black Veil...6.5x46. No surprise that what was a simple little trade turned into an all out bombing in the hands of WNYTONY. Now this one required a bit of patience (very rare for me) to allow it so much humidor time before smoking. This was the right time to light up and enjoy this cigar with the usual two cups of good hot coffee. One darn nice smoke. Thanks TONY.
Burn time. An Hour and Fifty One Minutes.

ALMOST as good as the original, but it would take a whole heck of a lot to surpass the original. More pepper, less sweetnessQuote:

Late riser today. Being up from 2-7am might be the cause? :)
2017 5-Vegas Gold Toro with coffee light.
I used to list manufacturing year (as I did here) to qualify my comments based on age but going forward (almost) all my smokes will be current. I kept too many cigars so that I often lost perspective by not having smoked a particular brand/size newer. My own 'personal comment log' is in my head and the older I get I realize that memories can get scrambled but oddly, perhaps because it involves multiple senses, my memories of tobacco and cigars seems to be relatively accurate. Of course this just might be my brain prioritizing! :)
Smoked my first Macanudo Hyde Park 50 years ago (13) and I smoked several over time and they were unmistakably Jamaican but distinct from Royal Jamaican/Mario Palomino and others. Dramatic change when production moved to Dominican Republic very much the Olor profile that was in fashion then.
I bring this up because new Mac Hyde Parks now have an Ecuadorian CT taste profile. The Mac has more depth, the 5-Vegas brighter but otherwise there's not much difference between these sticks and my preference leans to the latter.
Tat Black Petite Lancero here today, last one in the box oh my.

Had an Oliva Serie O Churchill while cutting the grass this afternoon. Wrapper got a little beat up since I had to bite on it around some trees!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...72d615aaab.jpg

My Tuesday offering is one good old @WNYTONY turned me onto a while back, and have to say they are tasty little sticks.
Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu No.5

Such a beautiful day just screamed for a second round, so I decided to finally try a Punch Rare Corojo

Tatuaje Havana Hermoso tonight
Tuesday Afternoon. Matilde Renacer Robusto...5.2x54. Smoked on front porch on a bright day temperature 68% F. Humidity a lot lower than Monday.
For some reason I noticed more or deeper flavours while smoking this cigar compared to the one smoked on Sunday.
Left wondering if it was the change in the weather or that this one wasn't lit until about two hours after having two cups of coffee.
None of the five or six Matildes already smoked from this box had this level of taste/flavour.
Have to smoke another in a days time to compare.
Burn time: One hour and Forty Minutes.

Cheers.
Sometimes a rainy day is perfect for cigars and moping

A hurricane (don't remember the name) wiped out factories and companies, sadly, decided not to rebuild.
For those who never tried one of these Jamaican cigars they had a rich, warm honeyed molasses taste layered over earth and leather that varied in intensity between brands. Very unique flavor that's lost to cigar smokers.
Rocky Patel Broadleaf Churchill with spring water.
Doing battle with these. Pardons to anyone who likes RP but I have yet to find a line of theirs that don't have significant QC issues and these may be the worst. No two sticks smoke or taste the same. Poor burn (pretty much all), constant relighting and touch-up that alters the flavor. I don't get along with Manual Quesada made cigars (not a QC issue, I just don't like his blending) and I've bought my last RP. Unfortunately I have about 100 left to smoke! :). On the other hand, I seem to like just about anything that AJ Fernandez makes. Some of smoking enjoyment is personal chemistry and of course taste but these RP Broadleaf Churchills aren't fun when you need to fight them all the way down. Try the Pioneer Valley and Graycliffe G2 (both in maduro) that are superior broadleaf sticks and less expensive.
Just finished a Ramon Bueso Genesis Project from my friend @WNYTONY
I actually had a fiver of these in my cart on my last order, but to keep in budget I ended up cutting them loose until my next order. After having this one, I will make sure they go back in the cart, very tasty stick, thanks Tony.

I've only had the Genesis and they are not bad ROTT! But give them at least 6 months rest and they become VERY nice. If you can give them a year, watch out!!
Robusto. Man that's a big label!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e8915e517.jpg

A little mid-week golf before the season ends. Paul Garmirian and AJ Fernandez met me at the course and Mr. Sam showed up afterwards https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37b8e1c1a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e4219fcf82.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6fac850e3c.jpg

Very unique flavor that's lost to cigar smokers." That must be what made them so enjoyable to smoke,but I'd never have found a way to explain just what it was that made them so unique, as you've here.Liked the Canary Island s cigars too, but they I think seemed closer to the Cubans,in a muted or softer way.
Expect,Pete that when some of the others read coments about smoking cigars *fifty years ago." they're picuring us sitting on the front porch or stoop enjoying that evening cigar with the collar removed from our shirt as we watch the Old Lamplighter making his way along the street.
Well time to find another cigar to smoke and maybe some Root Beer to pair with it..
That foursome must've turned a few heads at the clubhouse.Can only imagine the drink orders.Quote:
