I'm a bit late on this one: smoked a Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto (Natural) on Friday while watching the blizzard come down. This was the first one I had in a while, and it was quite tasty.

Really? That is one of my go to smokes. Yes I agree a little sweet when young, but man get a little age on them and for me, it don't get to much better. I put a 2 yr. old cuban label in the raffle bag. I would like to hear who ever wins do a little revue of that stick.
Let one rest for a while flagman and give it second chance.

I'm heading to The Four Deuces Saloon in a few minutes. I'll take along a Hemmingway Classic.

The hills and the hollers
Smoked a "The Griffin" Piramides (very good!) this afternoon and then a CAO Gold Maduro that a rep gave me. Very nice of him to pass out the smoke, but it just incresad my feelings on why i dont smoke CAO any more.
Just got back in from smoking a Gurkha Symphony in my garage. I used to love those things!! but they are definitely too mild for me now...but its definitely still a great smoke...very smooth and creamy, great for a new smoker!
I am outside enjoying a wonderfull California night smoking a punch rare corojo magnum
its one of the last few of a box I bought about 2 years ago. Anyways I decided to review on it and compare it to my experience, I do that every so often, well come to find out that after all this time enjoying this beautifully cigar its not. Really a corojo at all.

So, on Wednesday, my wife went out of town. My buddy's wife is out of town as well. So we smoked...a lot.
Wednesday, we started at the B&M with a Perdomo Habano Corojo. Jeff, the local Perdomo rep was in town. Great guy. Then, we went to the bowling alley. He was bowling in a league, and I needed dinner and another smoke. Luckily, this bowling alley was not smoke free, so we had San Cristobal Perfectos. I honestly, prefer the lonsdale in this cigar, but the perfecto is a very close second. A little more complexity than the other sizes in this line. After that, we played cards, and had a Pepin Blue Label and then finished with a Famous Smoke Nicaraguan 3000, which is a very underrated cigar, especially with a little bit of age.
Yesterday, after about four hours sleep and five hours of work, I went back to the B&M and we each smoked a very nice Cohiba. It does need more time in the humidor, though, but still very good. After that, we went down to Club Habana and smoked a Padron 1926 No. 9, natural for me and maduro for him. Paired it with some Strathisla 12 year old scotch that I swear had a little bit of aromatic pipe tobacco taste in the finish. We finished the night with a Tatuaje Cojonu 2003. I'm starting to think this may be the best Tatuaje out there. Complex, flavorful, and extremely powerful. I was just about down for the count after that one.
Thankfully, I was able to sleep in.

Tonight I smoked a Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto. I hadn't smoked these in a while and have a couple left. The burn and construction are excellent, and the flavors are good without being too overpowering.
Currently smoking an Opus X xXx Mini Belicoso. This box has about a year of age on it, and time has done it well. I picked up a little bit of harshness on the box early on, but that has subsided.
Yesterday, I had a Tatuaje West Coast. Man, that is one of the best cigars I've had in a while. I think I may have enjoyed it even more than the East Coast. I'll be picking up more of these. I compared it to one of the East Coasts I had downstairs. It's supposed to have the same wrapper, but the wrapper on the West Coast was darker.

Right place, right time. It's the only way I knew of that I could actually age some. :lol:
