I can see why, they really are a nice cigar.
Sounds like a plan, I am not sure how long Tony had this one before I got it. When I get around to picking more up I will put several away to rest a bit.
Today's selection, one that @jhedrick83 turned me onto. These are quickly becoming my favorite Oliva sticks so far, even better than Serie V Melanio (though I really want to try the maduro ones)

Wednesday virtually ROTT. San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol Fireplug...4.5x50. Had almost given up on ever finding any of these long out of production Fireplugs. Lit just seventeen minutes after 12:20 pm delivery.
The Guarjiro was my favourite regular San Cristobal with these little Fireplugs in my top spot for the Seleccion Del Sol. After smoking this one right down to finger burning time. Later in the afternoon smoked a Matilde Renacer Robusto which tho good didn't match the well aged Fireplug. Not even close, and I do like the Matilde.
Was very,very glad to see Don Pepin Garcia bring back the Vegas Cubanas line but have given up on seeing a return of the Del Sol Fireplug. My guess is that the blen, Sun Grown wrappe, Garcia used in the Del Sol was then used by Pepin Garcia in another Ashton cigar.
Not sure of burn time, but guess it was about an hour.

I'm not the baller that you are Jerry but they are excellent in my book. I'd rather have one of these than the other big dollar Fuentes, but they are also on the milder side. Can be tough to find I guess - I've heard they are only given to shops who meet a certain purchase level. Luckily I have such a shop near me.
:idea: I should probably send you one or two to try, you address hasn't recently changed has it ?
Works done getting Chunky

Thursday Night smoke. From those that fell in here on Tuesday. Ashton Scan Cristobal Revelation Mystic Box Pressed...5.6x48. At first a slightly dry taste that quickly changed up and the Sumatra wrapper on this box pressed Corona started to shine. The burn was slow and smooth all the way to the finish. Not a ton of smoke, rather thin light colored smoke.Excellent retrohale.
Burn Time: One Hour and Thirty Two Minutes.

The football league ? Ha ha - hanging on is about right. I'm doing ok with the team you didn't want !
I'll get some out to you - it is definitely one to try if you are a Fuente fan.
Please pass on congrats to the Missus for me Brian - that's awesome.
Now tell me about the stogie. I have one resting in one of my boxes, am I going to like it ?
Had some extra cigar time for a Friday, so decided to grab one of these big Churchills @jhedrick83 sent me. Excellent stick from toast to nub!

This was one helluva good cigar! JVN Barber Pole gifted to me from omahaorange, thank you very much.

Early Friday Evening smoke. Paul Garmirian Gourmet Series Connoisseur 2013 Symphony 20...6x52.
Held off on smoking this excellent cigar that WNYTONY had so gracously sent me until I could be certain of an uninterupted lenght of time to enjoy it.
Had a hunch that this could be an exceptional cigar, one that would reward one smoking slowly whilst paying attention to what was on offer.
Right from the start there was an awareness of 'something' out of the ordinary,a unique quality maybe owing to the age of the tobaccos used in the blend.
Fir, very glad I set aside the time giving this cigar the attention deserved.
Thanks again, TONY.
Burn time: An Hour and Fifty Minutes.

Morning Brian,
Please add and send my hearty congratulations to your wife! Personal achievements are always nice when recognized but extra special when you're helping others while doing it.
5-Vegas Gold Toro with coffee light. This one's misbehavin' a bit but still ok.
@allusred mentioned waking early feels like you're stretching the day, amen to that and wish that I could do so more often.
Morning Pete,
Tend to stay awake most of most nights, so this unusual for me. A nice bit of Indian Summer right now, so enjoying the day so far.
Have you smoked the San Cristobol Del Sol? Lucked out finding some of these favouites. Any 'take' on the San Cristobol blend?
Will do Tony! Thx
Yep! I think you will enjoy it, I sure did. As you know im not able to describe the flavors as much as some, but it was very nice. Not much pepper of any sort, not even on the retro. It had a nice long finish, mild - medium strength, produced a fair amount of smoke. Don't remember if this was the natural or the maduro.
Had it resting for at least 18 months and I think I have another plus 2 of whatever this is not (natural/maduro).
Thx Pete! And I sure will.
I agree 100% that recognition is nice. And I'm very biased, but she really deserves it and I say it's about time that they recognized her.
Hi Bob,
Gorgeous day here too, wish I had been out early. :)
Knew Rob Levine (Holts/Ashton) pretty well in the day, good guy. I bought cigars (retail) from them for several years and I tried (and liked) San Cristobal. The Old Henry was a good value made by Pepin Garcia too I believe. Rob knows cigars and is one of the best connected people in the industry so their marques like San Cristobal are very good indeed.
Hi Brian,
You did a good job of describing this stick. I felt the same way until I gradually started to associate terms like 'leather', 'earth', 'cedar', 'cream', 'whateverberry', etc., with what I was tasting and realized that though somewhat abstract it was the flavor being discussed. More important are the points that you described because all the 'leather' in the world is subject to what you said, if it's not burning well or falls apart it's immaterial.

You ever have one of those days where you have to deal with so much stupidity and incompetance that you develop an eye twitch?
