What did you smoke today (NC) II

[droy1958]

Started off the weekend with a delicious La Palina Red Label Corona. I don't usually enjoy mild sticks, but this one is a keeper



Followed by another surprisingly good mild stick, the Gispert Corona


Saturday I enjoyed a God of Fire Sencillo Black Short Churchill


Sunday was the Gran Habano Cabinet Selection Toro. This used to be my favorite stick but this last 5er I got just isn't doing it for me. I think I needed to age it more.

You go girl!....

On the docket last night was Specter by AJ Fernandez. Despite the overwhelming barnyard odor, it was a delicious smoke. Weird note: it sparked like a firework when I lit it

Sounds like a fourth of July smoke....

Now where'd I leave that cigar?

That looks to be where I'm getting my chicken breasts from. They've seemed to grow over the last few years. I remember buying a chicken breast that was the size of a chicken breast. Now I think they slice them off an ostrich. Smoking a Joya De Nicaragua Antano Gran Consul.....

And also lit up a Perla Del Mar - both were part of the giveaway smokes.

This afternoon I had a 5.2X52 My Father La Antiquedad Robusto Cigar. This cigar is nearly right off the truck; it has been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 5-25-2016. I lit up this cigar and received a flood of pepper and other flavor profiles that stopped me in my tracks. After a few puffs I put my hot cup of coffee aside and replaced it with a large mug of cold water and proceeded with my smoke. This cigar had a beautiful habano oscuro oily wrapper. I was immediately hit with a punch of pepper, sweetness from some fruit and a wispy cocoa. This combinations of flavors varied in strength from puff to puff. This cigar took me on a trip with winding roads not knowing where it will take me next. I experienced an array of subtle changes that was intriguing. I normally have my cigar with my coffee but not this time; I wanted to taste everything. The construction of this cigar was excellent with no problem veins, razor sharp burn and just the right draw. I could see that this cigar would not be to the liking of everyone; a friend of mine had smoked this cigar and he could not figure it out. The flavor profile is very subtle and complex; my friend felt more comfortable with a Padron-he knew where it was taking him whereas I absolutely love my journey with this stick. I topped off this smoke with a large mug of ice water and this has been a cigar event!

Hello Moe,
That's an outstanding write up for an excellent cigar.Having read this I now know what I've been missing when smoking a My Father La Antiquedad.No kidding,"get" some of the flavour changes, but cannot put a name to them. And here you are saying it was, "nearly right off the truck: it has been resting in my 65% rh humidor since 5-25-2016." Moe, for me, that's well aged. Thanks for a five star,five gold stars review.Wait....let's make that a five cups of hot coffee.
On my second cup right now...and your review has me thinking it might be a good idea to light something rolled at the My father factory.Too early to be turning in anyway.
