For CH Sunday
https://i.imgur.com/VeiLvYn.jpg
It is too early for this. And do need more Coffee.
At first glance this image had Me p[uzzled, dang Kayla sure is a right flexable Gal, maybe a bender (as they usta call contorionists) to be able to hold a cigar behind the head like this. Then it dawned on Me that what I weas seeing was a pretty wild case of what is termed "bed Hair." OK, dog gone it Kayla it's Your post saying sleep is good. Tried that, the result is posting while still half asleep. Perhaps it was the Elfin like ears, but don't think Your posting from Middle Earth
Yeah Yeah OK, OK...Good Morning Kayla. That sleep thing cotched Me still working on the Coffee to get to a level where I can find a cigar to smoke before Sundown.
Raining here, more of the lingering snow is melting. Now how about You letting Me know how the Pasion smoked?

@allusred the Pasion was disappointing, bland with a hard draw

Good Morning Kayla. Thank You muchly for Your take on the Pasion. Have one from My secret Santa Regiampero, was thinking that this might be one of the overhyped cigars, esp since not seeing anyone posting on Cigarbum about how they smoked.
Remember being disappointed by the El Centurion H-2K-CT when it was first released. You may have noticed that tho rarely smoking cigars, I do from time to time smoke and like some from Pepin Garcia. But there are some I'll not smoke.
Was about to grab a San Cristobal Elegancia for My first, and very late first it would've been this Sunday. Going to go with the Pasion instead. Thank's for the heads up. Enjoy the Day Kayla. Cheers.
Sunday Afternoon.
La Aroma De Cuba Box Pressed Torpedo Passion 6.25x54.
A fine looking Cigar from My Fathers Cigars/ Don Pepin Garcia. Despite it getting a goo0d deal of attention in print, have not seen much mention here on the Bum.
Thanks Kayla for giving Me Your take on the Pasion. To start while still in the cello it feels very solid as if it might be too tightly packed. Nice Colour wrapper leaf. Cello off and while it still feels firm, it is not as heavy in the hand as expected, not a featherweight. Good looking band the green does work with the wrapper shade, maybe it was chosen to make it stand out from all red banded cigars.swtill. Pasion makes one think of Passion and then red , like red hot, flaming. Then this light pastoral shade of green evokes mild Victorian terms of affection, rather A nice one to have on hand for a bit of variety from time to time, but doubt I'd buy a boxreserved for something that will be aflame. How did I like the cigar? It did take a couple of snips stopping the cut well before the tapered portion was gone. Draw was excellent, overall construction great,even burn line needing no further attention after lighting. Don't know the exact burntime it was at least an hour and a half smoke. Good tobacco taste after the first couple of puffs which seemed a bit dry, then at about a quarter to a half inch in a sharp, bitter taste that stung when retrohaling, the bitterness was short lived and for the remainder it was a very pleasant smooth smoke. Not a one dimensional experience, nor was it one with pronounced and wildly varying changes. It helps to keep in mind that only rarely can I pick up let alone put names to flavour changes when smoking.
To sum up, this cigar did not stand out from most of the other La Aroma De Cuba cigars coming from My Fathers cigars. So along with Kayla I'll say it fell a bit short of My expectations.
At this cigar's price point there're a fair number out there with a bit more pizzazz. Nice to have one on hand for a bit of variety from time top time, but I'll not be buying a box.

Edit. Update. Sure did run on here, going to blame it on Cabin fever. No wonder OLDSMOKEY's gone into Hibernation. Not a lot of this Winter stuff yet, but it still was more than needed.

Early Tuesday Morning.
Quesada Espana Short Robusto 4x50.
Had a hunch before going out to smoke this cigar, be smart, grab a short one, it is cold out there.
Should thunk twice afore acting on that hunch. Cold...naw not much only the coldest night so far this Winter, made a whole lot worse by a sharp wind that left the 18 degree F. temp feel like 5 or 6 below Zero..
If sane would have skipped smoking until it was somewhat warmer and much, much less windy. Now I'm on a third cup of hot coffee and still shivery cold.

Tatuaje Tuesday.
Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosos 5.63x46.
Not quite Summertime weather, temp 20 F. Wind a third less than a few hours ago. The result is a good deal better conditions when smoking, biggest hassle is trying to maintain a decent burnline with the wind changing directions.
The Sunshine helps once You're out of the Wind. Tend to smoke a too fast when it's cold & windy. This Tat is a nice smoke, but the Tatuaje 7th Reserva in the same size is for Me a better cigar.

Tuesday Afternoon Smoke.
EL Pavo Lost & Found by Caldwell 5x54 Habano Wrapper.
Just about to get this ne cut & lit. Hope to get it smoked during the heat of the Day

This cigar has a nice "soft" box press, good smoke. Temp 21degrees F. but didn't feel cold enjoyed the smoke.
Flor de Ybor City Pierce Natural
Excellent as always
Perfect draw and construction
Burn needed correction twice early on but straightened out for the majority of the smoke
These especially, but the entire marca, is really a hidden treasure as I never see anyone else post any.
Bought 20 of 3 different vitolas and wrappers and am always glad I did.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b0945ebd0e.jpg

Gee I'm very late replying to Your question. Keep in mind that I could never write a review of a cigar, just do not get the fine nuances, flavour changes. If the construction is good, the cigars fairly evenly and isn't a nicotine bomb or like smoking air.
Is made with tobacco, I'm OK. Should You buy some then haste them, feel free to give hell for misleading you.
PS. Do think they're pretty good and the price point's not bad.
