This is my current go-to smoke. Luv 'em.

Last night I had an Arturo Fuente Maduro. Just the regular Gran Reserva series, but man what a good cigar. A strong hint of anise with notes of caramel just a hint of spiciness, with a slight sweetness just like a good maduro should have. Screw the overpriced Hemmingway series, this and the regular Cameroon 858 are killer smokes and easier on the wallet.

I had yet another Romeo y Julieta Exibicion #4. I just can't get enough of these cigars.

Had a great Short Story on my morning drive this morning.

Just after 11 here in Zone Improvement Plan Code 85638. The thermometer has been sitting at about 94° for the past couple hours. A tad warm to take the huskies for a walk, so I'll just haul my butt around town for a walk. I'm taking a Monte 2.

Dom. Partagas original. First time I had this and it was definately a good smoke.

Yesterday I had a RP Conn. w/coffee, followed by a Padilla Miami 8&11 after lunch, then a Gurkha Fuerte after dinner that was gifted to me by Travis in a mailbomb. The Gurkha wasn't as strong as I thought but was pretty good, and the Padilla rocked.

smoked a AB Maxx while sitting by the campfire. It was a brisk 48-50* on the beautiful Skyline Drive at Big Meadow

It was a beautifull evening here also tonight, a perfect 68 degrees. I managed to nub a very nice Don Pepin Blue label - a great end to a great Sunday for sure!

Enjoyed a Cigar.com Purple Label Churchill for breakfast with a cup of coffee. I didn't care for the first one I had a few weeks ago, but letting them sit in the humidor for a month really made a difference. This one was a very nice morning smoke.

I celebrated the Cubs' win by smoking an Alec Bradley Maxx Fix during the Bears game. I got this one as part of a create-your-own sampler deal. Interesting cigar. It had a nice flavor profile, and it smelled unique. I've got another in the humidor that I'll save until my palate is a little more experienced.

Then I celebrated the Bears victory by smoking a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur No. 3 as I watched the Red Sox game. Not bad, but I think I liked the Dark Sumatra better.

Unfortunately, the Red Sox lost, or I would have probably had to dip into the humidor yet again for a celebratory smoke. I briefly considered a consolation smoke to mourn Boston's loss to the Evil Empire, but I decided that a 4-cigar day was more than I deserved.

Had my normal RP Conn w/java in the morning, and a 5V "A" apocalypse before bed, but after lunch I had my first Ashton VSG, the illusion size. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this cigar. In fact, it may very well be the perfect cigar! I don't know why it took me so long to try it, but it was definitely worth waiting for. If you haven't had one yet I highly recommend you give it a shot. It will definitely be a regular in my humi from now on.

I am sidelined with broncitus, so I sleep most of the day yesterday and today. I had to sneak out and have a Romeo & Julieta 1875 this afternoon...a nice mild cigar.

5 Vegas cask, delicious

I'm almost embarrassed as to how much i smoked today...but, here goes....

I really enjoyed a Cigar.com blue label this morning...b4 lunch i had 5V "A" torpedo. After lunch i had 5V Miami, and ended my day with a Cigar.com Corojo label in the late afternoon. cheers.

I had an Avo Domaine 50, another from a friend. I really like these, so much so, I just ordered a box.

I walked the dogs twice today. Brought cutter, lighter, dogs. Forgot cigars.

To make up for my stupidity, I'm having a Diamond Crown Maximus 3.

I'm having a Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown Torpedo. If you've looked past Cuesta-Rey (since Fuente doesn't really market them at all), I recommend them. I like their Sungrown quite a bit and their Maduro's great as well. Haven't had a CT shade since I'm not a fan of that wrapper, but if you are, I'm sure you'd like that one too.

Started the week out with a Gurkha Dos Capas Grand Master and CI Legends Gray Labey by Cusano on Sunday, and a Gurkha Master's Select on Tuesday.

Only a 1 cigar day today, I was pretty busy after work. Decided to light up a Padron that RMPD109 sent me about 3-4 weeks ago from the F&G thread. From eyeing the size, I'd say it was a 5000. Was quite a nice cigar and now that it's getting cooler here in the desert after sunset, it helped me relax after a hectic day out back without working up a sweat just reaching for my iced tea. Fuller bodied, even burn, with a subtle spiciness and a bit of an earthy flavor. Burned even the whole way but I had to relight it with about 2.5-3" left because I was taking my time enjoying it.

last night, after i attended the local guitar center drumoff (that i didn't win but i knew i wouldn't, there was mad talent there, but the experience was great fun), I had a rocky patel osg from the aging room at cigar.com....

it was the smoothest cigar i have had yet...easily noseable with no harshness or spicyness, i didn't even know the smoke was going thru my nose thats how smooth it was...

....until i had some kind of brain malfunction and inhaled a giant puff....then my eyeballs splattered onto the windshield as i coughed what little life force was left back into my lungs. my fiance was not impressed...all in all...id do it again without the self abuse.
