The cigar is elegantly made and no flaws (there was a tight draw, but after I used the cigar poker it opened right up) but the flavor is not there. It does smoke cool and smooth, but its hollow. Maybe the box has had too much humidor time....
Next was the 3 Reynas 6x60. This cigar continually amazes me. I hate the Robusto size, but the 6x60 brings more air in to fully develope the highly flavorful damn near black connecticut broad leaf maduro. I am in love with this cigar so I will not continue to wax poetic about it! lol
As we were working my co-worker accidently busted a 1964 Padron Pyramid. He let me smoke it instead of Boo-Booing it out. I was deeply appreciative of this. If you have not smoked a 64 Padron Anniversary honestly you truly need to pony up and get one. The flavors are deep and sweet (in a natural way) the smoke is voluminous and the construction and burn are perfect. One of my top 10 sticks ever
As the superbowl started I realized I would need another stick to keep my attention so I grabbed a Partagas Benji 2012. This was my 2nd of the stick this year and I must say that I am very impressed with it. It is complex and ever changing through out the stick all while maintaining a sweet creaminess. I always like the yearly Benji, this one is up there with the 2010 offering.
well thats that for now.
Only smoke what you enjoy my friends :)
