I had a Cussano 18 last night... very smooth and creamy other than that to me there was no other taste..
I just smoked a Carlos Torano Exodus 1959... it was pretty tasty. Might be getting some more of these in the future. Great relaxing smoke
This eveing I had a Baccarat that was gifted to me in a pif... The sweet tip reminds me of clove cigarettes. Pretty mild smoke. It is probably not a bad smoke to to give to your "non smoker" friends 
Today I had a padilla miami for lunch followed by an oliva G for dinner. Now im enjoying an rp 90 for a night cap.
Yesterday afternoon I sat out on the porch and had a
Punch Gran Puro, very nice smoke to unwind from the work day.

I just burned an Oliva Serie G "Special G" with my morning coffee, some Mocha Java Phisherman sent me in the coffee pass.
These little Olivas seem to have quickly taken over as my go-to for a morning smoke. I still prefer a nice Hemmingway Best Seller or Short Story with coffee, but these are close enough and less than half the price. They're also a little shorter, which lets me actually finish my smoke around the time I run out of coffee.

So how was the coffee. Please be honest, I have not had a review of my roasted coffee except for my wife asking "Why doesn't it taste like French vanilla or Hazelneut?"

It's good stuff! I'd say it's roughly on a par with my usual Intelligentsia coffee, though I should mention that that shop is excellent- best coffee I've found in Chicago.
What I particularly like about it is that it's roasted a bit darker than Intelligentsia roasts most of thier coffees. They roast just about everything fairly light aside from thier dark roasts and there isn't much in the middle. Your coffee's right in that gap, and it's a welcome change from my usual light roasts and occasional bag of El Diablo dark roast.
Smoked an RP Sun Grown Churchill last nigt, good cigar, as oily as it was it burned flawlessly and tasted great.
Smoked a CAO Crillo Pato after lunch today. Made a nice little treat after a monstrous grilled burger.

Took a Don Lino Africa Duma along to the bar to catch the last period of the Wings-Flames game tonight. Good cigar but not really my thing, burn was top notch, one flame to it and it just meandered along at a nice pace, nice draw, not too tight or too loose. Lacked complexity but still a decent smoke.
Going through my humi last night I found a St. George that has been sitting in there for at least 4 to 5 years. Good smoke I realy enjoyed it with my morning coffee.
Had a Carlos Torano Signature today. Also had a 5 Vgas A archtype after dinner. Both were wonderful.
I smoked an Ashton Heritage Puro Sol Corona Gorda while mowing the lawn. A nice, mild morning smoke.
Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles
Wow, what a great cigar. Once lit you can just look at this thing and it will burn. Got that wonderful earthy taste throughout the whole thing. There was a time when I didn't care for these things all that much. That time has officially passed :lol: Excellent cigars, everyone in the Havana VI line.
Going to meet up with Twoputts a little later at a local cigar friendly tavern. Taking along a few smokes, lol.
