Today's smoke

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I don't think it works with cigars because we smoke them. If you want a picture of any cigar, you can get a professional one at websites like C.I.. I've seen pictures of cigars that I could not identify and I have yet to be able to describe the taste by looking at a picture. If Dustin sent me a picture of a certain LFD I asked him about, I would have never tried that one.

Another potential problem might be bandwidth. I had a website crash because of the size and number of pictures coupled with the number of views once. I still don't understand the concept fully, but I still look at bandwidth usage when we have an event on that site that creates a large number of hits..

I spend almost an hour this morning taking a picture and trying to post it here. Too much trouble for nothing.

I don't mind sharing the pictures, it's pretty easy actually. Kind of gives people a birds eye view of where we are when we are smoking.

This is hole number 2 from my zen golf walk this morning. It was a Punch Royal Seleccion 12 from '08. There are only 2 Punch that I really like, both are Cuban. This is one of them. What a great smoke - lasted me from hole 2 to the 9th hole. Nice notes of coffee and cocoa - absolutely loved it to the end.

5 Vegas gold double bullion - decent cigar- mild 60 ring

Gran Habano Azteca Fuerte torpedo- 2nd try and last, strong and bitter.

Flor de Oliva gold CT churchill- finally found them, mild and somewhat sweet flavor. I do not think it had a sweet tip and I liked this much maligned cigar. Not a great cigar, but a pretty good mild one.

Oliveros Gold Cognac double corona- Mild with a light cognac flavor- decent cigar.

Bahia Trinidad short churchill-mild but tasteful. I liked it.

3 of these cigars are the first 3 in the photo (from the left).

Seems to be par for the course on the Gran Habanos Tony.

This evening's smokes

Gurkha Red Witch Rothschild
Liga Privada No 9 Toro
Rocky Patel Edge Battalion

It was a pretty chilly day here in Texas so I hung out at the smoke shop this evening.
 
Stealth- I've smoked several Gran Habanos and even like their CT. no.1. This was the worst of brand so far IMO.
 
Beautiful day

It's a beautiful day on the shore in Erie, PA...had to light one up this morning for sure.

I tried a Don Elias Toro and it wasn't my favorite cigar of all time but it was far from the worst. Pretty smooth flavor.
 
Smoked the four on the right on yesterday picture (left to right):
Bahia Insignia 10th Anniversay Insignia toro- just OK
VSOP CT toro- good morning smoke
Victor Sinclair Box-pressed Maduro Doppel Gordo- not as good as the first I had
Arturo Fuente Breva- good enough for a small Fuente

Nestor Miranda Dopplebok robusto-nothing special

Tonight I am smoking a 2006 Cohiba Pyramid EL. This may be in my top 5 of cigars I have ever smoked. What a great smoke, big notes of cocoa and coffee.
