Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

Did a couple last night. First was a Cuesta Rey Centro Sun Grown Toro. First time I smoked this label and it was fantastic, very full of flavor, excellent draw. Later I had a Gran Habano, 3 Siglo Fumas Robusto. OK, flavor wasn't very pronounced, but it grew on me. Got these from another provider and a great deal.

I had a Cuesta Rey Sungrown last week for the first time and I to thought it was phenominal. For a stick that I have not heard much about I was shocked at how great the whole experience was. Has anyone else tried this stick?

5 Vegas A. Nice everyday smoke.

Had a Padilla 1948 Lancero. Pretty good smoke. Maybe some more later.

Tonight I did a 5 Vegas Classic Robusto. As always, a great smoke.

Just finished a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero. Very good. Not great but thouroughly enjoyable.

With the talk about the Camacho Triple "M" I was going to have one last night, but while rooting around the humi I found a stick I hadn't tried, Diamond Crown Maximus Double Corona #1 that has been sleeping since 11/06. Guess what got "smoked". Very, very nice cigar. Great burn, nice draw, plenty of smoke, nice combination of smooth, rich flavors. The only downside for me, the size "8' x 50".

Kicking back with a Rocky Patel Old World Reserve and a Crown and coke. Life is good.

I was going to try a Punch maduro rothschlld this afternoon, but when I clipped the cap the entire wrapper unraveled and came off, I think I accidentally cut too much of the cap. I attempted to smoke it without the wrapper, but it just didn't want to happen so I gave up on it. I still wanted a cigar so I grabbed a 5 Vegas shorty and I've got to say it was not as enjoyable as the last one I had... Perhaps due to the fact that I had more recently been smoking full flavor, full bodied cigars and the shorty just seemed weak... Still not a bad smoke by any means though.

Did a Puros Indios Anejado '03 Robuston this afternoon. Very nice cigar. Think it is my third and I have liked each one better than the last. Great value! Tonight I did a Punch Rare Corojo magnum. Really looked nice and was well constructed, but just didn't like the taste. Kind of bitter. Might just be too strong for me.

Outside here smoking a ITC 10th Anniversary by Rocky Patel with a rum and coke. Love this smoke. Almost as good as the Decade. Now just hoping that the Dallas Stars will pull off a win tonight and eliminate the Sharks.

Beautiful weather in Chicago and lots of yardwork meant lots of cigars! Started out the day with a Fuentes Candela Churchill. Nice cigar, first time I tried a Candela. Had a Victor Sinclair Bohemian Robusto later. Have had a few and they have varied (same bundle). This one was very good and I could taste chocolate. After dinner I did a Cuban Monte Christo Edmundo. Great, great cigar with a slightly sweet taste. One of my favorites of all time. Then I finished with a H Uppman Vintage Cameroon Petite Corona. Another excellent cigar with a great burn. Really super cigar day for me.

Beautiful day in New Orleans also. Today was the last day of JazzFest and I enjoyed a CAO MX2 and a 5 Vegas A while at the fest. Just got back and chilling out in the yard with a Cusano 18. All in all a very good day!
