I agree Capt, but you know what I always say:
"One man's super-premium is another man's dogrocket." :dunno:

I had my cigar for the week. Went out last night with a buddy of mine. Shot some pool. Drank Jack Daniel's Single Barrel (first time- took some adjusting to but, it grew on me.) Smoked a Hemingway Work of Art. This was a great smoke. It was a flavorful, rich smoke. It smelled so good. I didn't want to put it down.
Smoked a Danli Reserve Ltd. Ed. Sungrown. Great cigar to enjoy while taking a stroll through the park.

Sorry for my late reply. Got back from visiting my relatives in Hawaii late last night.Big Paintbrush said:
Haven't had the chance to try the 92 yet. It's still sitting in my humi waiting.
Today, I finally tried a CAO Cameroon corona. It burned evenly throughout, smooth and mild taste. Draw was tighter than what I expected. Wasn't overly impressed though. Maybe 2 months in my humi wasn't enough. I'll try another in future months to come.

Central Canada, eh?
Doc, it sounds like you had a good holiday, welcome back to reality.
Went with my son for a walk to the library, so I lit up an Indian Tabac SFM Toro for the walk. It is the first one of the batch I ordered from Montreal earlier in the month. Very nice...tremendous prelight aroma, lots of flavor, a little tight in the draw - I too think it was a little fresh yet - good ash - untill I kept knocking it off. I am saving half for later on in the week when I have some more time - Monopoly is calling!!!
Take care.

After getting a call from my Contemporary Cuisine Chef letting me know that I received an A in his class, I had no choice but to fire up a Forbidden X...it hurt so good

Tried my first Padron this morning with my Kona coffee. All I can say is WOW! This stick was so good! Didn't realize how thick the smoke was gonna be, because I smoked it in my study room. Too cold to smoke outside. Gonna have to air this room out before the wife gets home.
5-Vegas "A" Artisan. Really enjoyable smoke on the ride home from work. Left me in a good mood for the whole evening.

Cedar Key
While enjoying the company and conversation with vince, Rayvn, and RazorKing, I imbibed two quality beers - Bells Dobblebock and Stone Russian Imperial Stout. To complement them, I fired up a RyJ Cedros #2, a Bahia Trinidad (thanks vince!) and a Cusano 18.
I enjoyed the Bahia very much and look forward to picking up a few in the future.

Lost in translation
On Christmas Eve (really christmas morning) I gave myself a nice present; Opus X Fuente Fuente. Wow, that cigar packed a punch. It had bite without being bitter. And all of that complexity, I cannot descibe everything that I tasted, but it was very good. It was not the best cigar I have ever had, but definately the highest quality I have had in a cigar. I was light headed when I got up from it.
Yesterday I had a 5 Vegas Alpha (thanks BP). Really dark in flavour but a smooth finish. It strarted off as a very dark roast coffe but mellowed a bit about half way down. I really wished that I drank a cup of coffee with it instead of the ottercreek octoberfest (it just did not stand up to that cigar). It was a little too much on the flavour for my palate, but still a good cigar.

AHHHHAAHHHH.... I am not sure what happened tonight but I sat down and hated everything I smoked. Am I too critical.
I started out sampling a boutique blend called Troya
1. Troya Natural - Yack
2. Troya X-tra - double yuck
3. Troya Corojo - yuck
4. CAO Criollo - this sucker was awful. I usually like these so I am not sure what the deal was.
5. Graycliff Espresso robusto - old faithful came through but it was just okay this time.
I think those Troya cigars threw off my palate badly. I cant figure it out. Time to go drink a gallon of club soda. Hopefully there was no permanent damage. :lol:

C10 robusto. Was better than the last but not anything to write home about. Is it just me or have these really declined in flavor? Maybe its the robusto size. I loved every crown corona I ever had but the robustos just seem way too bland and smoky to me.
