Perfecto...it was amazing! How does the robusto compare? If it's anywhere near as good as the perfecto, I may have to get some of the robustos if I can find them. Thanks again!
same cigar, different shape...the robusto size is limited. From my standpoint...if u need a quicker smoke the robusto is a great choice. my brother-in- law and i love these cigars. I think they go perfectly with a nice white ice-wine
btw....aubrey....didnt u win a brainteaser from me :bigidea:

This morning was a Honduran Primeros Churchill with my morning Autumn Harvest Blend from the Freedom Press. This smoke had some pretty bad burn issues half-way through, I had to touch up at least 3 times. Other than that, it was a good smoke. It had a sweet almost floral taste to it, something I wasn't used to but was very good. I would say it is a mild to medium smoke in my book.
Last night I had a 5 Vegas Torpedo...same as always, fine burn, consistent draw, and balanced.
Last night I had a RP Vintage 92 6x60 and it was outstanding. It was the first time I had one that size. I had stopped buying RPs because I always thought they had tight draws, but this was recommended to me as one that didn't and the draw was perfect. I'll be in the market for a box of these as soon as I have room.
Smoked a Nording Torpedo yesterday, nice little (4 X 54) spicy cigar, only problem was that 4' just isn't enough, going to try the larger sizes next time, definitely a great smoke though.
Right now I'm smoking a 5 Vegas A Alpha. This is a great smoke full of coffee bean and cocoa. Can't go wrong with this one.

Amen to that! I just nubbed a 5Vegas limitada '06. These are quickly becoming my "goto" cigars.
Yesterday I got to spend the evening on the deck listening to the rain and burning a Perdomo lot 23 and an IT super Fuente natural. I see a box of lot 23's in my near future.
RP Sun Grown PC. A little metal at first but that went away fast. I love these.
RP Vintage 1999 CT Toro. Mild, very mild. It has flavor, but my sinuses have been acting up and the draw was a little loose. Kinda took away from the cigar. I still really like these. I ordered a box of PC's today.

Ashton Puro Sol Double Corona.
Ugliest cigar I have smoked in a long time, light tan-sand color wrapper, lots of veins and bumps and uneven spots. Initial taste was really quite citrus-like and lasted for a few puffs, then it sort of flattened and just had a nice spicey, mildly pine taste for most of the smoke. Last couple of inches that lovely citrus taste returned, I smoked this down to a half inch nub and enjoyed every last puff, could probably use a little more complexity but I was happy with it espescially the last couple inches. Next size I try will be a regular corona, I have a good feeling about that size.
