Thanks Chris, those are fast becoming a staple of my cigar buying habits although I seem to prefer the natural to the maduro.
I haven't been smoking many cigars lately with my work schedule as is but I find myself smoking proven winners when I do with the exception of the AVO which was the first I had tried. La Aurora 1495 coronas are way high on that list as are the Padron 64's.

Last night I had my first Ashton ESG. A very complex flavorful smoke. Well constructed cigar, burned consistently, produced a great cloud of aromatic smoke with just enough spice and an easy draw.
Glad I've got a couple more so I can do it again sometime soon.

Smoked a 5 vegas cask strength last night and a Peterson Gran Reserva today, Delish! Most of my recent smokes have be winners, im on a roll
Gurkha Perfecto (unsure exactly what type) that Pbburner sent me in a PIF. Best burn I have ever seen on a perfecto, nice and even the whole way, great taste, earth and coffee is what I seem to be picking up on. Damn fine smoke it is.
I smoked a La Aurora Preferido (Sapphire) over a couple brews with some buddy's tonight. A very nice, very mild smoke in my opinion. I am not sure that I would pay the $16-18 for this smoke again, however if it was in the $8-10 price range, I might just gobble these up. The first half of the smoke was very mild and the second half seemed to become a little more full-bodied.
I got home and capped off the night with a COA Italia. I am a CAO junky...I have yet to find a CAO I didnt love.

i prefer the la aurora preferido platinum(cameroon)...IMHO the best of the line. However i have heard nothing but great things about their new Emerald(ecuador) blend...im looking forward to giving those a try. I had the Gold (corojo) and saphire as well (Natural)...i gotta say saphire was my least favorite out of them all.
Last night I had a Rocky Patel 1990 Torpedo followed by a Padilla Miami Robusto, both were okay, but not that great.

That's why I am wating to smoke my first cigar in a while until Christmas eve (well at that point it will be early christmas morning after I play santa). Cigars always taste muted when I am sick or for a couple of days after.
Right now I'm smoking a Tatuaje Noella....wow! Very flavorful with lots of earth, coffee, and some spice. Eat a nice meal before smoking this bad boy. For a petite corona, this is packed with flavor. Very nice ash that burns even and falls flush. I'd very highly recommend it. 91 easily. A nice alternative to Q*ban cigars.

good for an inexpensive stick.
its a nice short smoke. I should keep these on hand in for short on time instances

I just had my first Sol Cubano Sumatra. WOW This think tastes good before you even light it. I liked this one.
I'm taking a few days off to get rid of this head cold. You know a cold is bad when you smoke a Padron 1964 and can't taste a thing.
Chris--my heart goes out to you man!!! Head colds are such a b**ch!! Hope you get to feelin' better soon.
(have ya tried zinc?)
