Honduran factory corojo gran corona and a then a robusto of the same. Warm up coming Saturday.
 
Hit 37 today- Calle Ocho Sumatra and perhaps the last Honduran factory corojo robusto.
 
La Gloria Cubana Perfecto - 2004, sent by a friend (Thanks, Travis!).
Finally have a day off and decided to ash this stick. Makes me want to smoke another stick today.... Maybe after a late lunch.
 
Into the 40's today, smoked a bunch of new yard gars ROTT and they were not very good including one I thought would be a new staple yard gar. Maybe with a little time they'll be better.
 
Having my second stick - banner day! LOL
Ramon Bueso Odyssey Robusto. Excellent low-$$$ smoke. I'd rate this very close to the Man O' War Virtue. Not as complex, but a great, consistent smoke with solid construction. I'd rate it a solid 90 out of 100.
 
Those 40's after this winter so far were nice. I have 1 or 2 of both of those cigars buried somewhere- maybe this summer I'll smoke 'em if I can find 'em.

Second day off in a row! - a real "weekend"? Don't know what to do with myself! LOL!

Starting the day with a Jaime (pronounced "hi-may") Garcia Reserva Especial Robusto of "My Father Cigars". May not be the best breakfast-cigar choice (kind of like having a big slab of cheesecake for breakfast), but it's pretty durned good! And it tastes excellent with a cup of coffee!
 
Yard gar robusto and a Victor Sinclair Serie 55 Blue Label Oscuro tubo. Done while shoveling the light snow that drifted around yesterday in the cold high winds. I actually pulled out a lawn chair and sat and smoked the last half of that second cigar. Could have used a lighter to make a minor adjustment and perhaps something to drink.
 
Pappas Fritas - gifted by a friend (okay, actually a bonus stick when I purchased a bunch of Viaje's).
Stout little smoke! Nice, toothy wrapper with litle to no oils and a pigtail cap. Lots of smoke, full bodied, good construction. Very nice.
 
I've got one of the Papas Fritas in waiting- tiny little things and not cheap.

Casa de Turrent and a VSOP CT toro while playing in the mud today.

Diesel Unholy Cocktail - 2nd stick today. Got pretty bitter at the last third - first one that I've had do that. I think I let it rest too long and the relight caused the problem. :(

Yes, the Pappas Fritas' aren't cheap, but they're good down to the nub. Nice, consistant smoke throughout. ;)
 
Bob, I've found that if you clip the part of the cigar that is burned, relights taste considerably better than if you just tap and relight. Thtat's the main reason I bought a 58 ring cutter. Anything bigger brings out the power equipment.:wink:

Thanks, Tony. Got a Colibri cutter that fits large gauge cigars, so I'll use that next time I confront the problem!
 
Gurkha Crest churchill as the temps got into the low 40's today.
