getting ready to have a honduran primero while i drive from work to home then back to work. Hate when i forgot something at home. At least it gives me a reason to have a smoke.
Smoked one of my honduran primero toros this morning on the way to work. Third one I've had. Had a hard time getting this one to burn evenly. Have liked everything else about them though.
i have burn problems with them also, but they seem to usually even out toward the end. i also am not very worried about them not burning even since they cost me $1. taste pretty darn good.
4/29
Ashton VSG Robusto
Had some burn problems (tunneling) and it tasted a bit harsh.
I expected more, given the high marks for this smoke, but I'll give it another chance. Tomorrow I'm going to try the famed Diploma.

i had a very similar experience with my first vsg. i wanted to enjoy it really bad too. others since then have been much better.
4/29 edicion de silvio, not bad with some age on it. Padron Anny. Imperial also nice with age. 2 dilomas, dont remember but I am sure they were fantastic. Nothing is better then when I pull the box from the humidor and take in a nice big chicken shit smell from the dipoma box 
had a padron 1926. it was spectacular. the guy i talked with for a few hours has two full boxes and one opened box of milleniums. Might try to buy a few off him if he is up for it.
4/30
Just finished my first Diploma. Dag yo...good stuff. I might have to get a box of these with my tax return.

Saturday night I tried to smoke a La Aroma de Cuba robusto, but it refused to burn right...I dunno what it is with my cigars, but a lot of them tunnel. Maybe the humidity in my humidor is not right? I dunno...I have it at 70% right now and the temp in my room is usually between 76 and 78 degrees.
Sunday I had a La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 5 maduro. I really enjoyed this one.
Now I'm off to have my last Cohiba Red Dot robusto. The first two were excellent and I think this one will be too.

Last night by our fire pit I enjoyed a Padron 3000 Maduro with a Courvoisier (sp?) VSOP. Whatever this week brings, I am ready for it now!
Today I was in the mood for milder smokes than usual so I fired up a Short Story and a Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino.
today i had a Rocky Patel vintage 1992. this is one of my new favorites.
Wolfdaddy, ive had a few guys tell me the XV is even better than the red dot. Being that i like the red dot a lot also im going to try the xv soon. Its also cheaper.

I will try those soon too...perhaps I'll take a ride down to the smoke shop in the next couple of days. I got my tax return check today, so I'll be buying a box of something soon. Not sure what yet, but we'll see. I also have to get some work done on my car. Stupid mechanical crap breaking. :ek:
Sadly I have not smoked in 2 days. My hands are shaking as I type this.
Scadams, Covossier is great on the rocks with a cigar. And here I thought I was the only one.
FYI on the cohibas. Just a heads up, the XV is very different from the red dot. Red dot is medium to full with a cameroon wrapper, XV sports a 5 year old ecuadorian sumatra wrapper and is fuller bodied. Personally I prefer the XV over the red dot.

i love full bodied cigars so i should be ok.
Today i had a Juan lopez, then smoked a pre-embargo cuban from 1958. I got my greedy little hands on 6 of them, and a box is on its way.

Macallan - my wife bought me the cognac as a Christmas gift because she always heard that cigars and cognac go together like pepsi and pizza. I never got around to trying them together, however. The Covossier is now dedicated to that purpose only.
Kind of a cool night, so I drank it straight. I'll try the ice next time.

Tonight I had the tried and true CAO Brazilia Gol!
I love this cigar. It's one of my mainstays. Excellent construction, smooth an full bodied. This time I was struck by the rich buttery flavor of the smoke form the beginning (that lasted through the entire stick). As I progressed, the deep smoked woody flavors (for alck of a better description) became more and more prominent.
I smoked it down to the nub until I started burning my clumsy fingers. But if I could have maintained a safe grip on it, it probably had a few more minutes left in it.
I have only three of these left in my humidor, and will try and make them stretch until June when I'll be treating myself to a box or two for my birthday.
