Rocky Patel sun grown maduro toro this morning. Very pleasant.

Had a Viking maduro robusto yesterday. Very nice indeed.

Chess maduro corona for the first time in a couple of years. Nice, but not as good as I remembered.

I'm waiting for the last guests to leave the hotel bar so I can get some "work" done.

Had another Quintero just now since it's another quiet night. Worst rolled cigar I've ever had. It was weirdly triangular and a bit cone shaped. If you'd split it lengthwise it would have been really...

Another very quiet night shift at the hotel, so I'm relaxing outside the bar with this cigar and a coffee. Not the best cigar ever, but i've paid more for worse. Pretty roughly rolled, but...

I haven't posted here for a long time. Quiet night shift, so I passed the time with this and a nice dark roast coffee. Very nice to get paid while relaxing outside the hotel bar. Very glad...

This was very tasty up to the last half inch. I stuck it in a clay pipe when it got too short to hold and smoked it til tasted bad. I think I got my money's worth.

It's been a while since I had a proper cigar, but this is how I spent my evening yesterday.

The first half was awesome especially at the beginning, with all kind of wood, spices,...

I'm still pretty new to cigars so I'm still trying as many different ones as I can, but Oliva Serie G Maduro is the first one I've bought a second time. Very nice indeed.

I had this little chap yesterday.

It's the biggest cigar I've had. I ordered a robusto, but got this monster instead. It was nice, but the draw was very light. I used a guillotine cutter and...

I finally got round to smoking that Tatuaja Petit Cazadores Reserva. Very pleasant little cigar. Quite spicy, switching between chili spice and black pepper spice. Also quite earthy in different...

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to that cigar now. I think Friday might be the day for it, I'm pretty busy til then. It has tiny crystals on it, which I've read is "bloom" and is a good thing.

I was about to smoke this Tatuaja Petit Cazadores Reserva earlier today, but realized I didn't have time. I thought I'd share a pic of the foot though, I thought this looked odd. Looks like the...

The ash seemed pretty solid in the middle but the outside was flaking off like crazy. I was taking notes on my laptop and now the keyboards full of little ash flakes. It was mostly holding on pretty...

I had this Oliva G Serie maduro robusto this morning after my night shift. Very pleasant.

We mentioned how you can tell things from the ash before and this one was really flakey. What does...

Curiosity I guess. I think it would be interesting to see which flavours come from which bit of a cigar. I was also wondering what it would be like to eat one, but I'm not planning on doing that...

I think a rather interesting but expensive experiment would be to take a box of cigars, peel the wrapper off one and replace it with cigarette papers and smoke just filler. Then peel all the rest and...

I'm curious: Is anyone else British enough to take the band off?

This was only 40 ring. So far the most complex and interesting tastes have been from the two robustos I've smoked. I had a chess maduro corona that was very nice but not all that complex. I ordered a...

Just had that la rica. I wasn't that impressed to be honest, especially since it wasn't the one I wanted when I ordered. Quite earthy in a minerally kind of way, almost metalic, bit of cinamon, dark...

I hope that worked, I haven't uploaded direct from my phone before.

The rain finally stopped so i was going to have this la Rica no.4 this morning. unfortunately the wind really picked...

Anyone had a la Rica no. 4? I ended up with one after trying to order a oliva special perfecto. They emailed to say they were out of stock and suggested a Nicarau petit corona instead. I figured...

This arrived today. Looking forward to trying it out.

Just finished writing up my tasting notes of the Hawk 1968 on my blog so I thought I drop in a link in case anyone's interested. I can't quite work out if I'm really allowed to post a link to my...
