Today was a bargain basement day, in the afternoon I had a Liga IV, which is a surprisingly tasty yet mild cigar, at around $.60 each, there is absolutely nothing to complain about for a long filler cigar that is not a second. In the evening I sat down with a Vigilante corojo corona, I wish I could say I liked this one, but this time I didn't, I think it need some time to settle down, so I'll check back after about 90 days.

I tried to smoke a CI legends purple label but I don't know if it was the cold, the wind or both but the cigar didn't seem to stay hot enough and the draw was tight, after several puffs I would get a lot of smoke, but then I would have to keep doing that much quicker than I usually do. I hate this windy cold weather..

Would like a Gurkha HMR PM me if you have any extras...

I haven't good luck when it's cold and windy, either, Feebs. OTOH, I have had good luck with that cigar, so I'd give it another try some other time.

After laying off for a few days to let my taster reset, I just had a Punch Gran Puro. That's more like it. I could actually taste it. Ahhhhh.

I had a 5 Vegas Gold that we got at the beginning of the month. I liked it until about the last inch when it got bitter. I'm starting to change my ind about Conn wrappers. Every one that I have had in the past few months have been really good. May it is just the Fuente conn that I do not like even though I LOVE regular fuentes. Hrm..............

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

I have had them. At first I didn't like them but then I had one that was aging for a couple of months and it changed my mind. The Shaggy that I had three weeks ago really changed my mind. It was AWESOME! I'm toying with getting a box of them but I have no where to store them.

On a different note, I just ordered a box of the Grand Age Churchill and a new Humidor. Got that Dome Humidor. Should be able to hold the box of 50 Grand Age and all the Warlords I just got. Now, I just need to get some more Shaggy's. I'll end up having to wait till next month for that.

Jeez wheely, that's a buttload of cigars...if ya need help storing them....ahh, that one is getting old. :)

I just finished up with a pretty awesome cigar, a Padron 1964 toro in the natural wrapper. Not much to be said about this one that a lot of you don't already know, it was simply great. I only wish the price wasn't quite as steep as it is, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't worth it.

I also tried something different a bit earlier, a cigar I got from Ron in the pif game, an Erin Go Bragh robusto. Now I'm not much on flavored cigars, but I figured I'd give this one a shot and went into it with an open mind, and it was decent enough for a while but about 2 inches in it started getting kinda bitter and didn't let up, I've got one more so maybe with a bit of time on it things will change.

Glad to hear that about the Padron 1964, joez. I've had a torpedo resting for a couple months, and Laker just sent me some toros. Looking forward to trying those.

I have 1 torpedo or the 64 and 1 of the 26 resting since November 2006. I sooooooooooooooooooooooooo want to smoke one of them but am trying to push it out one more year.

Wheels, what are you waiting for.. After two years of aging what will another do.. I think they are ready now.. Burn one and end the wait. I couldn't hold out for a year on those and they were great. I think you will get plenty of enjoyment out of them now.

Where do you get those WILLPOWER pills from?????

I think that one of reasons I have been buying so much is to try new stuff and keep the aging part out of my head. I forget I have them and then I don't think about smoking them. I haven't had a GOF in 5 months and I have only had 1 of the Partagas 150's that I bought. Now, by buying so much I have enough to age for a long time and still not think about the other stuff. Plus, I like to keep certain things for special occasions. Smoking on the way to work and back is not a special occasion. Hanging with some good friends, celebrating something, etc... is when I pull out the good stuff.

It's not willpower, I conveniently forget about them however with all this talk about them I may just have to spark one up really soon. You guys are breaking me down!

I have a few of the 26's and 64's which I'm wanting to try but I must wait till at least the spring. Though it's too damn windy/rainy and cold to smoke a cigar around me. Maybe/hopefully it will mellow out with the wind and rain.
