Yesterday I had a Perdomo Slow-aged 826 while working in the yard......good yard-gar. Relaxed on the patio with a Camacho Coyolar, very flavorful.

Love the new avatar kaspera.

I have only tried two so far, the Cusano and the RP. Kind of a toss-up as to which I liked better. I just got some of the Matasa too, but going to let them sit. I agree that the regular RP are better. Actually got a few new ones of thoses I am waiting to try too (signature, fusion and double maduro)

 

BTW - where in Chicago area are you?

Western suburbs of Chicago, but I work less than a mile from the city. Of the Rocky line I suggest the Vintage line '92 and '90. With the legend cigars, all are good for the low price of 5:00 bucks ( or less in bundles or 5 packs) but I think the best value comes with that Graycliff.

Haven't tried a Graycliff yet, but would have to agree based on what I have seen with the list prices. Have had a great deal of success with picking up exceptional bargains on the auction sites.

I live in Naperville.

ive had one or two but it was so long ago that i cant be a good judge... i dont remember it being bad.

Really.... We are close a few towns north on route 59.. my brother lives in naperville, nice neighborhood..

Tonight I had a Punch maduro rothschild. This was an enjoyable enough cigar, I'd smoke it again, but I must say I prefer the standard Punch punch to this one. Aside from that, even burn, firm white ash, delicate wrapper that cracked when I gave it a little squeeze. I'd give it an 8/10.

Yesterday for me was a CAO Black Mosaic and a HDM Tradicion. CAO was ok, with all the hype I have seen thought it would be better. Maybe the size (6.5 x 44) wasn't the best for this particular smoke. Really liked the HDM though. Excellent construction and burn, a real good medium strength cigar

It is, you should check out Bull and Bear if you are ever in town

Yesterday I had the Pinar "Legal Cuban Tobacco" Maduro Torpedo that I got free from an event they had at a local B&M. It was right outta the humidor and very damp (I guess that's the word I'd use). Cigar got very soft on my and getting smoke out of it was like pulling teeth.

The saving grace that made me stick through it was the fact the quote on the box said "Brett Favre's Favorite cigar" so I stuck around for some good taste but let it die at about 2.5"

Mr. Powers I got a Viagra stuck in my throat and I've had a Stiff Neck all day

today was full of bad news. i wont go through it all but let it stand that it was BAD on the political front and the economic front. however, i personally had a very good day. its partly cloudy and 75 outside. there is a cool breeze. I spent the afternoon in my garden trimming my roses and smoking a 5 vegas series A robusto. I love that cigar. it was great. There were kids playing baseball in the park accross the street and people mowing their lawns. it made me happy to be alive and in the neighborhood im in. this is why i smoke cigars.

I take it Bull and Bear is a cigar shop with a sports theme. I will check it out when I am in your neighborhood. What street is it on ?

Hey jpen I hope you have nothing planned that monster ( Beast ) should take a while. I have one resting but never seem to have the time to fully enjoy it..
