had a flor de oliva 10th ann. while walkin the dog through some wooded trails (one of my favorite times to smoke a stoge)...was pretty good, hadnt had one before, a lil mild for my taste, didnt really come on till bout half way through but some enjoyable flavor, construction was so so, couldnt keep an even burn...
tonight i smoked a La Flor Dominica, im not sure of the size but it had a large ring size and it was a good smoke!

I had one of these tonight (robusto). I had about half a box sitting in my humidor for six months or so. These have gotten a lot better. Considering you can get a box of these on auction for ~30-35 bucks, they are quite a deal.
I love those 10th annis.
Capt, where do you get that CAO Blue Note? Doe they make others as well?
I had a Padron 4000 tonight that had been in the humi for five or six months. Had a real uneven burn but man that was a good cigar. Had what to me was an almost walnut flavor. Nice, thick billowy smoke too.

The Matrix?
La Gloria Cubana Wavell.
Mild pre-lit aroma. Medium-bodied smoke. Peppery start. Burn started off uneven, but eventually recovered 1/3rd the way through. Ash wasn't as tight as I'm used to. The ash fell off after 1 inch. Flavor was spicy for the first third, and smoothed out all the way to the band. Near the band (last third) got to be bitter. Smoked it a little more, and called it quits.
Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this stick.

I'm smoking a Baccarat Rothschild. It's a mild smoke but, I'm not crazy about the sweet cap. It keeps a nice long ash and burns evenly.
this morning I had a monticristo #30...fantastic
this evening I had a Joya de Nicuragua Celebration that I got from Capt in a trade.....totaley awesome

just after finishing lunch, i went and smoked a Partagas Spanish Rosado Mitico. Smooth and wonderful. One of my favorites. :mrgreen: :thumbsup:
I'm smoking a Joya de Nicaragua Corona right now. I believe I got this one from dbrad4d (thanks!) It has a great Medium to Full flavor, with a nice long ash and even burn.Stickman said:

I had a Monte #4 on Friday with a bottle of 1992 Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and the pairing was incredible :wine:
