2012 Pinar del Rio Habano Sun Grown Toro with Diet Pepsi.
Proxy for several Pinars; Seleccione,Classico and Sun Grown. Seleccione's the best, Classico good and Sun Grown ranges from fair to good based mostly on differences in taste. A decent sample bundle, they cost ~$29.00 shipped for 20 and are better (especially the Seleccione) with the age.

Trying' another new smoke I recently bought. Though I don't care much for their standard Gold line as it seems a little too mild (maybe the Churchill would be better?) I find this has a very nice flavor! Smokes nicely too. I'm finding I like the Corona size over my initial favorite Robusto.

Contractors finally left... Time to enjoy my favorite day of the week...Warped Wednesday [emoji41]
Warped Flor Del Valle Las Brumas...4.5x48. Not sure if the cigar warps this Wednesday or vice versa...anyway a good start to the day.
Seems someone's smoking these,about time to find a few more little ones...or a lengthier version.
On the ride home:

And then that awkward moment when you realize it may be about time to invest in an ashtray for the car:

Yes, that's my company cell phone acting as a cigar clip so that I could pump gas.

Haven't had one since the UHC, dang it. Waiting to see if I get on with CoxHealth, as they Nic test pre-hire. C'mon, c'mon.....
I've tried one or two of the five cincos, and they were decent enough. Haven't tried the gold line though...Quote:

Very much enjoy them. Have had a few and not one I've had an issue withQuote:

Gorda, an excellent size and a long burning one total time was an hour and 50 minutes.
Going by the retrohale would put it at a solid Medium a very nice one too. Thanks Tony.
Figured those Mobiles had to be good for something.Quote:

Asbestos isn't that bad! I could easily get used to that, and very well may. Pretty descent smoke for the price really.Quote:

Not a fan of this so I can't like your post, though I could like your resolve to do what you gotta do to do what you wanna do. A bit invasive I believe too.Quote:

I had one of those today as well - one that YOU sent me. These are great short smokes, thanks for introducing them to me.Quote:

2012 Pioneer Valley Especiales Toro with coffee light. Nice touch of citrus tang in these that compliment the coffee and beautiful morning.
Looking forward to the NFL draft tonight and over the weekend.
Paul Stulac Classic Blend Ghost...6x58. This large girth toro cigar along with two cups of Hot Coffee made a nice start to this day.
Good late Morning Pete,Quote:

Would like to find some that I might be able to note that flavour in when smoking.
Enjoy the start of the NFL draft, good luck with your picks.
Bob.

Some of these are still available. Tim (@Cardinal) mentioned that the Oliva CT is an Ecuadorian as well. Filler leaf with a citrus note exists. I've tasted it in Nicaraguans and to be specific, many of the Pinar Del Rio line (like the Seleccione that I'm currently smoking).

Nice! Cant wait to see what you think! Also I am hoping to sneak one in tonight but straight from work to my kids lacrosse game is not looking good. May be celebrating tomorrow night with this weather by the time I get home tonight it will be freezing. So many sticks to choose from and so little time.Quote:
