Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

Aging Room Small Batch M356 Presto, 4 1/2 x 48.
Very nice Dominican baby.
"An attractive little robusto that has hints of roasted nuts, baked fruits, cinnamon and nutmeg. Very flavorful and complex".

that looks like a very good cigar
Why dont you share? lol
Im a big fan of the Dominicans
I just like a lighter cigar.. im not versed enough in the world of cigars yet to make it through a full sized full body cigar.
Tried one the other day, great cigar .. just to strong for me to finish
It was an A Fuente Gran Reserva

Well... looks like winters here in Minnesota, getting snow on and off today.
So, my favorite way to enjoy a good cigar has come to and end until spring

I like to just sit down and relax in the park, enjoy the beauty of nature on a fine day.
Sometimes me and a few friends get together and enjoy each others company, while lazily puffing on a stogie..
Other days i do it alone, and just take it all in.. sit and think about deep stuff, like life and love.


^ seeing that im not allowed to enjoy one indoors.. now i have to figure out what im going to do
Am i going to freeze my rear end off and have it outside in negative temperatures.. or perhaps there is a cigar bar around here somewhere..

Nice!! I just finished sitting on my back steps enjoying a Casa Magna while I watched the drizzle/mist coat my back yard today here in Kansas... it's not cold (62), just wet. I was going to have a hot shave after but half way through, I jumped in the car, opened all the windows and drove about looking at the trees changing colours. Awesome. Then I decided to pick up my son a bit early, as the pepper lingered on my tongue. We just got home after hanging out at a cemetery in the mist for a bit. Great day! Time to prep the dinner .

As for winter - they aren't as bad down here, but it does get cold non-the-less. I am stocking up on corona's and resting my larger sticks for when that time again comes when I can sit back in a park and just take it all in.

I am considering moving to either Missouri or Texas, getting away from the winter..
In the winter i cannot ride my motorcycle, enjoy the park with a cigar, drive the hotrod, or do any other number of things i love.
Not to mention, im tired of living in a blue state, all the BS is starting to get on my nerves.. Gotta go south
SO sorry if your a blue oriented person.. I just dont agree with you on just about everything :P

Anywho..
I have been compiling a little "scrap book" of sorts for Cigars that i have smoked.
Here is a picture of my cover so far, what do you guys think? is this a good idea..



Im doing it so i can remember accurately exactly how i felt about a particular cigar.
If i have never had one before, i save the ring and then glue it into this book.
I then write up all the info about the cigar, and do a personal review.
That way if i ever want to try a new one at the store, but cannot remember if i have had one or not. I have the book, or if i want to try one again.
For example, my favorite of all time is the "Havana Honey, Vanilla" and my worst ever to date is the "CAO Java, Caramel Machhiato"

I enjoy the Drew Estate Acid's, but their more of a peppery note, where as i like the sweet notes you get in the havana's.
I do enjoy non infused, but i prefer to stick with infused cigars.

There isnt many on there, but i started only a month or 2 ago.. and i have had ALOT of doubles of a certain type, not just one

I think log-books are great...I review one out of five.


I go deep .


Tonight's smoke:


Look at me! I'm a little fatty .


Tasted great! The ash was a "little" flaky.


Hey! I'm no tight ash!!


Some flakes are...


Overall, it 66* and the cigar short of the ash was great... what more could a guy ask for? Maybe a blue state?? LOL!

I had a 54 gauge rolled for a local cigar shop by one of the founders of my fathers cigars , dark wrapper, not a maduro something similar (cant remember what the proprietor called it, it wasn't something i had heard of before)

Guy bought 500 of 2 gauges and blends each, and has them hiding at the back of his shop. they are fantastic.

if you in my area PM me and ill send you the address.

100%

May be, not so deep for all cigars, but log-books are needed.

Few days ago, got L'Atelier Lat 56, 6 1/2 x 56.
Very nice tasty cigars.
"The burn and draw are superb on this beautifully balanced cigar. Notes of chocolate and wood build on the palate before taking on touches of vanilla and earthy truffle".

It's a rainy day here in the Midwest. But the annual smoking of the butt for Halloween night festivities will not be deterred by mere rain!! We'll put the smoker in the garage, and call it the perfect excuse for a cigar me thinks!! Today's "smoking" smoke, the 601 La Bomba in corona.


It's hard to tell, but it's pouring rain lol. Beautiful fall day though.


The smoker is at the right temp... time to start Hurfing !


Yeah the band ended up staying on my finger like that the whole smoke lol...sigh.


No better way to enjoy a stick than to man the smoker (in the garage today due to the rain) and watch the time float away...



I will say that though I love the rousto's, the corona is rather tobacco-ish. Too bad really - glad I only have two of them .

In my quest to burn through the 601 line, today's flavor was the Green "Oscuro." As I waited for the box in of my favorite winter size to come in via UPS, the Corona, I lit up one of their rubusto's.

All I can say is... holey leather batman!! This thing is a whole ton oh leather with a little bit of pepper to complement the abundance of vitamin N. This surely IS their strongest blend!! Wow.

As you can see my delivery made it in as I smoked.


My boy loves Angry Birds lol.



Rolled in 2010 - nice!


I have to admit, had I smoked the robusto before this box of corona's went on sale, I might not have bought them! They are a good cigar and some on hand is surely the way to go but I don't know if I'll be able to stand for 15 minutes after nubbing the thing lol. Man this thing is strong - I hope the corona's will not kick me in the... like the robusto did lol.

Bah, on a cold winters morning when I am feeling sleepy and want to feel like I just ate my sofa and I can't stay awake - this will be just what the doctor recommends !!!
