What did you smoke today (NC) II

[Emperor Zurg]

Running some parts for a while tonight. Going to try a Dog Rocky Patel, Ocean Club. Because I have one... I'm not expecting anything stellar.

*edit*
This actually wasn't bad for a dog-Rocky. I'm surprised.
The wrapper was fragile - it cracked when I cut the cap with a razor blade and a hunk of wrapper and binder fell off. Not a good start. Who knows, maybe it was damaged at some point.
The draw was pretty open and it burned fast like a pipe full of shag
The majority of the smoke was basic creamy leather with some sweetness. Not at all bad but not all that great...
The final third was where it shined; the burn slowed down, it picked up a nice peppery bite that came and went, there were fleeting notes of root-beer every now and again (believe it or not) and it finished up with a rich tobacco flavor mixed with a very light touch of mint. I smoked it down to about an inch.
The thing actually burned straight without need for touch-ups... all the way down. That hasn't happened with a Rocky in like... forever. Not for me anyway.
This would be a decent smoke for someone looking for a flavorful cigar that won't hammer you with nicotine

That's my Rocky Review-in-a-nutshell

Stopped by the B&M to get a couple goodies for the tourney winner and had to get an extra one of these for the Cards home opener. It’s definitely a holiday in St. Louis and for all us fans spread across the US.

I honestly haven’t had many ‘64 or ‘26 Maduros. Usually I go for the Natural. Might have to switch that up in the future. This is unbelievable. Nicely aged but still has quite a bite to it. Y’all can keep your Cuban tobacco, this premo Nicaraguan stuff is all I’ll ever need.

The 64 in Maduro is the perfect marriage.

This Micallef marca might be on to something. Second smoke from them and this Sumatra is very nice.

Been smoking budget cigars and drinking cheap Scotch here lately, so I thought I'd have something a little nicer tonight.
Having an Anejo 46 and some decent Scotch.
