Yeah... 601 Black. The only one I've had was the one you sent me. Far and away the most interesting Connecticut-wrapped cigar I've ever seen.

My foot hurts

started a short vacation on thursday, don't go back to work until friday after thanksgiving, have spent time helping everyone in my family do something the last two days and have not had time to smoke anything and too tired to do anything about it tonite. did slip into cigar shop between vacation 'jobs' today and picked up a nice trilogy exotic maduro. Have never had this 'gar before has anyone here and how did you like it? Hope to light up saturday as cigar withdrawals beginning to set in.

Today was a nice Camacho 1962 toro that I received from Ron in the pif game, so my thanks go out to Ron for an awesome cigar. I really enjoyed this one despite some cracks in the wrapper that led to a bit of burn trouble at times. This is one I'll be happy to have again.

edit: I finished the night off with a 5 Vegas Limitada 2008. I'm glad I ate a good meal before smoking this one, as it was quite a bit more powerful than I remember it being. I had my first one back in early August, and I don't recall the cigar being as spicy as it was tonight, maybe it is my faulty recall or perhaps the rest has brought the pepper out in this one more. In any event, a stellar stick, probably my favorite of the Limitada line.

There were cracks in the wrapper? I'm sorry. I need to check all my sticks better. I've been having some trouble a humidity with some due to overflow. Can't seem to get it right where I want it.

I'm glad that you liked the 1962. It was a pre embargo that I sent you wasn't it? If not, it was supposed to be.

Any suggestions on a fix for the mini coolerdore humidity?

Too busy smoking now to lookup any good cigar quotes.

Not a problem Ron, it very well could have been my fault on the cracks, or rough handling by the USPS. In any event they did not present a huge problem. I believe it was a pre-embargo looking at the dimensions of it, it seemed a bit skinny for a toro. It was pretty good, so many thanks on that one.

I have several overflow containers, and I just stick a small tray of beads in with the cigars and it does the trick just fine.

I've been on a Maduro kick for a while so to change it up i had a Montecristo White i've had for a while. Good mild smoke. Loads of smoke with every puff, very creamy and nutty, hardly any aftertaste. A good cigar to smoke outside in the fresh air(amazing how that'll change the flavor from smoking inside). Really good but imho, it's pretty close to the 5Vegas Gold. That was refreshing.....back to Maduros lol

We have done so much, for so long, with so little we are now qualified to do anything with nothing!

Today was a Rocky Patel Decade toro, one from a sampler I bought back in January and promptly forgot about. I dug out today and it was a pretty nice smoke, I can't say for sure how much the ~10 month rest period had to do with it, though I imagine it must have had some effect.

Lit up a Nub Connecticut torpedo tonight and man it was a good smoke. For some reason I got a flavor that resembles sunflower seed butter (think peanut butter but lighter and mixed with cashews) out of the first half.

Only drawback was towards the end the draw got a little bit tight because I was holding it a bit too tightly but mr. paperclip cleared that up. All in all, I have no idea why half my humi isn't filled up with those, I need to fix that pronto.

I had a Cigar.com Corojo that I have had aging since April. It was much better than the last few I have had. Maybe the age had something to do with it. I got a root beer taste in there somewhere however near the end I was tasting the wrapper in my spit and that was the end for me.

Last night I had my first Ashton Cabinet. Great mild smoke! I'm not a big fan of mild smokes, but it was actually really good. Nice change of pace for me.

If you're interested in trying some others on the mild end, Puro, I highly recommend the Monte White and the AVO Domaine.

I have been wanting to try the monte White for a while, thanks for the tip on the AVO. I'll add that to the list.

had a cusano corojo 1997 earlier sunday - taste of spice ,pepper and earthy. burn problem, had to touch up several times, ended up only smoking 2/3rds . finished the night with a java toro maduro-excellent smoke-great flavor,construction and burn were awsome. anyone who has not tried these they are great.

This was pretty good. These always seem to burn well, good smoke, it was a little tighter on the draw than I prefer.
This was a nice everyday smoke.
But I think I prefer a milder cigar still.
