Had my 1st VSG Sundaty afternoon. While it was good, it falls in the sa,e category for me as Opus X. Not worth the cash. I'd rather have (6) 5 Vegas Series A. The light was good and the burn was excellent. Just not all that impressed.

Bought two of these over the new year, smoked the first one a while ago and it was a lot on the palate, almost too much. Some age has done wonders for this cigar. Now I gotta buy a five pack and let them sit, I'm guessing this would be phenomenal after a year or three of aging.

Just finished up a Short Story after lunch. The only problem I've encountered since finding this site is that I end up burning my fingers and lips a lot more since the cigars have been so good.

Out of a fiver I got one bad this time. The cigar was plugged up by the head of the cigar. I had to massage it a bit to even get a half way decent draw. After all that it had some burn problems the first half of the smoke but once all that was dealt with I got to enjoy it to the nub. Very spicy and delicious. I dont think this ONE will deter me from getting some more.

Smoked an Opus X Fuente Fuente outside after a long day of work. Sat outside with some iced tea and the crickets for company.
Damn that was great cigar, maybe the best Opus I have ever smoked.

I smoked a CASA FUENTE tonight WOW what a cigar. This cigar is everything a cigar should be. Flavor was a wow factor of 10+ with no bitterness of harshness at all burn was well perfect to say the least draw was also perfect not to tight and not to loose. I would have to say this is the first 6 ring I have smoked and that is only because 6 is the highest rating on that scale. This is ( WAS ) the first one I have ever even seen much less smoked.
I got to get me more of these!! Anybody who has not had one should..

After a long busy week followed by dinners and meetings after work and no cigar yesterday, I had a Series 55 when I got home from work today, then dug deep into the coolidor for a treat. Pulled out a Graycliff Vintage 1999 and man was it good. Smooth and flavorful with a good draw and great pre- and post-light aroma. The lady even liked the smell of this one. I smoked this sucker further down than any cigar to date. I even put the nub on a needle attached to a syringe and smoked it until my lips burned. And no, I'm not a drug addict! I work in a pharmacy so I brought the syringe home because I build models (mostly WWII Aircraft) and I can use the needle/syringe to put a perfect seam of glue in tight areas. I can't say it was a 6 ring like the one Travis just had, but it was a strong 5 ring smoke (only because we don't use half rings). I've got a couple more and think I'll be picking up some before they're all gone. It just made the stress from a long week melt away.
Started the afternoon with a Padron 1964 Diplomatico Natural. Man, what a great cigar! Perfect draw and burn every time with tons of flavor.
After that, I smoked a Quintero Belicoso. I had seen the brand for a while on the shelves but never picked one up. I'm glad I finally did. Great medium bodied smoke. A little bit of trouble with the burn, but it had a nice spice to it (not pepper...more like baking spice). I could definitely see myself smoking more of these.
I finished the night with a Partagas that was amazing as always.
