Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #3
My Father No. 1, followed by Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve toro corojo, followed by El Tiante habano rosado.
It was a good day.
Layover in Munich yesterday, was able to sample a Punch German Regional. A delicious robusto, rich and complex for such a young cigar...picked up another for the humidor, for 11 Euro it was a steal.

Another beautiful sunny day. A 2008 RASS which was very relaxing.
Hey ... you guys got me thinking ..... I have an Artuo Fuente Special Selection in my Humidor.

Pretty good smoke .... alot of great flavours in a 40x5" cigar.

Nice size too...
When I was first starting on on cigars, I was told that the robusto was the best size... 4.5"-5" x 50... No reason really given... After finding a few cigars that I liked I found it hard at the age of 28 to sit and enjoy one by myself...
In my 30's I found an artical that gave a great explination of ring size for cigars...
"In you 20's, smoke a 20 ga, In your 30's smoke a 30" and so on... I have started to follow the basics of that and it seems to work... I'm up to a 44 now :)
Romeo by Romeo y Julieta Piramide, 6 1/8 x 52.
Very tasty cigars. Highly recommend.
According to Cigar Aficionado rating - 94 and the third place in the Top 25 of 2012.
Usually, I'm not so serious to all kinds of ratings.
But here I agree with them.

Alex, I ment to ask, Cubans or Dominican? I'm guessing Cubans seeings how the USA are the only ones that "live" buy the embargo... Unless a person has a little money in the bank...
I have had a few Cubans while I was ovesea's... But I seem to like the DR Cigrar's better... I think there is more Quality Control...
**OOOPS... I may have answered my own question... But maybe I'm wrong...
As far as I know (remember) Handmade Cubans aren't wrapped in cellophane... Correct me if I'm wrong... And Machine Mades are in tubes...

Arturo Fuente - Gran Reserva - Box pressed
Very mild smooth smoke ... Not stellar but nice
Attachment 124494
I've been told the KB stands for "Kill Bill". You'll probably want to have a full stomach before you smoke that one.
It was a little too much strength that pretty much overpowers the flavors to my palate. A punch in the mouth more or less. But you may like it. Some of the more experienced cigar smokers I've talked to do.

La Palina El Diario Kill Bill, 4 1/2 x 40.
Nice flavors, but they haven't opened fully. Or small size, or something else.
Not bad ... but it could be better. IMO.

Smoked this guy for a good hour and a bit the other night while playing around in the garage. Pretty decent!
Smoked this one a few days ago.
Worth every nickel!!
