Might need a bit of whiskey with that to drown any that survived the smoke!Quote:

Have you tried the other sizes in his line?

Grimalkin Torpedo...6.5x52. Used a V cut and had to use a poker once to improve the smoke output.Have not one of these for a while and discovered flavours that I do not recall getting from a Grimalkin before, not a great increase, but easily noticed. Total burn time was an hour and fifty six minutes, would have gladly continued for at least another hour.
Smoking a Brohiba tonite - the usual blend.
I removed the band so now I'm smoking it naked :)
It's friging raining [emoji33]

2014 Diesel Rage Double Corona (6.5" x 60-rg) with water naturally chilled on another chilly night after a splendid day. Wife and daughters took me out for b'Day, an all you can eat sashimi/sushi restaurant (not a buffet, everything prepared on order) and I 'et to dang much!
First Diesel Rage, don't know the brand. Disappointing start, sloppy cap that started uncoiling when cut and it's lumpy. Burn's ok for thick stick, tastes like AJ Fernandez (that I usually like) but not much different than the La Herencia that's 1/2 the price. Will report more later.

Only a few minutes into this one....7x40. About to brew some of the Cafe du Mond, should say some more because I've been drinking cups of this coffee through out the day, this coffee pairs very nicely indeed with this cigar.
Photo is of one of these smoked on Tuesday this week, construction's always spot on and this one should last two hours.

@NeverBend . Won't keep you guessing what these are...if you will allow me to, will send one your way, would like very much indeed to know how you would find it to smoke and especially what if any flavours/notes you might sense in it.Only a very,very of the few changes,flavours I'm able *get* in a cigar can I put a name to.Just don't have the palete, or it may be burned out, even tho I seldom smoke cigars.Would really like get your take on one of these Pete.
I have to double check, but I think I have a sampler of the different vitolas.Quote:

They are exceptional! A little pricey but no regrets here, a personal fave for sure with me.Quote:

I had my first SC Elegancia the other night, and it was wonderful. It was the big 60 rg one that's been setting in the bottom of the humidor for many moons.....Quote:

My wife decided we needed to get a few things in Buffalo this afternoon. I think this will hold me over for the drive.

Warped Flor Del Valle Las Brumas...4.5X48. Right choice on a high RH day an hour and twenty eight minutes well spent with this little critter.

Latest installment of my perpetual cigar and tobacco trading with a BOTL co-worker. He surprised me with this as he usually operates in the higher strata of the cigar realms, but he got 30 of these for about $20. So it's a cheapie, but I would put it in the class of good cheapies. Nice Sumatra wrapper, slightly sweet flavor that doesn't get bitter if I keep the smoking speed down.
Had the new Nice Ash 5th anniversary Curivari Buenaventura (lonsdale, exclusive) and an AJF Last Call at the Nice Ash anniversary event earlier today and just to keep the theme going I'm having a Nat Sherman Sterling Corona Gorda that was passed on to me by @AndyCAYP of Nice Ash
It was a good day
Many thanks for all the kind birthday wishes from you guys, much appreciated. Barbecue and sushi sounds like a great combination.
2014 La Herencia Cubana Core Toro with some de-caf coffee light, given to me by my daughter, Ashley for my birthday just for such use.
Brian (@Brimy), thanks for the manufacturer of the Diesel. That stick tasted like a lighter, less mature version of Pueblo Dominicano, so I liked the taste, but the unraveling head, in a 60 gauge, was a problem at the end. 60 gauge can be a tricky burn and they also mask some of the oomph with their size. I'll try another.
The Core is loosely filled and box pressed but it's surprisingly long burning. It seems to be AJ's answer to the Padron Series, similar in pack, presentation and taste profile but the Core looks and burns better and longer and the Padron has more depth and nuance.
The end of both gets sloppy (too soft), the Core is good but I prefer the La Herencia Cubana Oscuro (especially the Belicoso), that's a no nonsense flavor bomb but lacks the nuance of the Padron.
