@Brimy Thanks for the input, Brian. Mine was a cbid purchase made Dec. '14, and now with yellow cello and all I was wondering if its fine old age could be a contributing factor. So the next one I buy I'll have to smoke in 2021? lol. Jeez.Quote:

Thursday Afternoon cigar.. Vegas Cubanas Corona...5.5x44 . About time, a day without rain, if I'm not mistaken it rained a lot this week. Both Mondays, both Tuesdays and both Wednesdays. Bloody rain sure makes for a long week. Dry indoor messes with my sinuses and that affects the retrohaling. Thinking about enjoying another of these Vegas Cubanas on the front porch while listening to the night. Only a few left from last box, so expect the third smoke will be something other than one more of these Pepins.
Burn time. One Hour Twenty Minutes.

Well, since it's the 60th birthday of brother @droy1958 today I tried to find a cigar that would be worthy of such an occasion.
Although I didn't have any 60 year old cigars - I did pull one that is 20 years old that was sent to me by @Regiampiero my Secret Santa
I figure 20 yeas old in cigar years has to be close to 60 years old in David years, so I lit this up

JDN Clasico churchill. Let me tell you - even after 20 years the construction and burn are spot on and this stick is sooooo smoooth. If I ever wondered how sticks will hold up after time I now have that answer. A testament to proper storage and care - no doubt. Thanks so much Reg - this was an excellent smoke and the perfect one to light up for old David's birthday !
That's a fine cigar. I have one left from a ten pack I purchased a few years back.....Quote:

Had not had one of these in a while, and was glad I decided to have one. Always a great smoke IMHO thanks @jhedrick83

Hard to go wrong with these as well.

Friday 09 February. Oliva box Pressed 2006 M B 3...5x50. Started on front porch after a few minutes of the cold moved indoors. Because of the Box Press this cigar appears a lot wider,maybe 52 or 53 Ring Gauge. Easy light, draw a tiny bit tight to start but after a couple of minutes the cigar warms up and the draw opens up. Flavour changes seem to me to flow along, and I don't sense any quick spikes,that's ok. This cigar courtesy of Ciro's response to a MAW. Perhaps the Box Pressed made it somewhat more of an Apples & Oranges choice, but I cant ratethe M B 3 ahead of the Oliva V or Melanos. Nice smoke for sure. Thanks Ciro.
Burn Time, One Hour Twenty Two Minutes.

Midday smoke. La Barbera One & Only Toro Extra...6x50. Anoter excellent cigar courtesy of Ciro. Well constructed easy light steady even burn line start to finish. After the initial blast of Bay Rum, not unexpected since it is an Berbera, off to a most enjoyable smoke of this one that has long been on my wish list to try, just right amount of smoke open draw.
Burn time. An hour and Thirty five Minutes.

Got this a while back as part of a mystery sampler from Cigar Federation (on sale). Sampler was a steal with all great cigars, but YMMV.

late, late Saturday Night. M. O. W. Ruination Belicoso...5.7x56. Got busy lost track of time for this one. From Ciro. Large, good cigar. Would estimate smoking time at an Hour and Twenty Minutes to an Hour and Thirty Five Minutes. Had to relight twice because I'd put the cigar down twice
Don't often "rest" a cigar in an ash tray once lit, seldom need to touch up or relight for that reason.
Thanks once again Ciro for a fine selection of fine smokes in that MAW.

Diamond Crown. Not as good as the glowing review I just read, which prompted me to finally try it (perhaps the 3 yr. nap did more harm than good?), but it was serviceable at least. Reminded me of an Avo, really. https://www.flickr.com/gp/142023879@N07/s56rVM
Who wrote the review?Quote:

I even at least detected one writer's mention of "burnt toast". lol. I also have a DC Maximus and Julius Caesar to try and so shall see where they land. Further edit: The original review showed a label-less cigar so I got confused (and am now embarrassed) as it was for a different line, the DC Black Diamond. Case closed. Sorry guys and gals. Now gotta find one of those. Could it still be just as good? We'll see.Quote:

I only got them about 2 weeks ago and I think a little rest will do them well. Liked it but not as much as the robusto, but a little rest may cure that. I will buy more as it's a nice little smoke to have on hand.Quote:

Started ok. Got tight and boring (Yes, I know). Have enjoyed a different size in the past. This was a lonesdale. Could also be the extreme humidity outside.
Hi y'all, I've been out of pocket for a couple weeks & haven't had a chance to check in. Was in Cancun on vacay last week and in FL on business the week before that. Back home now and enjoying a lovely Undercrown in my last couple hours of freedom before heading back to the old grind.
You may ask, Bruck, while in Mexico, did you procure any, oops, wrong subforum for that, but the answer is no, they were all counterfeit. In fact, I didn't smoke many cigars in Mexico at all, as the wind blew incessantly off the Caribbean, which made for less than optimal herfing conditions.
