First I wanted to give Diamond crown another shot so I grabbed the #6 Figardo Maduro figuring that the maduro would offer a more pronounced flavor profile. Man was I disappointed. 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 :)

I am completely unashamed to admit I am envious of you. Sounds like a great day.

Yesterday I started with a Brickhouse mighty mighty while working on the house and making calls. Then wrapped up the day with a rocky Patel 1990 after dinner and a partagas black label with an evening cup of tea with a friend.

Love the No. 85! :tu Yummy. The No. 44 is my favorite ever! I have not had the No. 46 but the No. 45 is not as good as the 85 or 44 according to my taste buds.
Getting ready to enjoy a Arturo Fuente Exquisito (about 1/10 the price of a no. 44).

Very Nice! If you havent tried one yet, give the Oliva serie V Melanio a try. They can be a little hard to find, but very good. :)

I've heard good things about Punch, but never tried it myself. I'm currently smoking my way through a box of Gurkha Empire III. It's pretty mild, has a nice taste, and is a really even burn.

I've had the Champion a time or two. Not bad, sweet to my palate and I kinda enjoy the funky perfecto shape. The Punch London Marduro is a great bottom dollar smoke. About $2(U.S.) and more or less a cinnamon blast of a taste. Sorry the Quorum turned out bad. I don't like bourbon but I love 'Bulleit Rye'.

This one looks spicy and good! Is that a punch cut under a clipped cap?
