just finished A Fuente anejo--kid that talked me into buying said it was OPus X with a different wrapper, is this true?

from what i've read its supposed to be a combination of the hemingway, opus x and don carlos tobacco with a 5 year old conny maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel - have you smoked it yet and what did you think?  the #77 "shark" is probably my favorite cigar right now

it was good. great burn, still too new to desribe it.

Maybe I had a bad one, I swear the one I smoked today was damn near flavorless.

I've smoked a couple of the Fuertes, alien, and found them quite tasty. It might be worth your while to try another one, sometime.

I have one sitting at my house waiting on me now. I smoked a Churchill yesterday, maybe that had something to do with it being so bland? The one I have at home is a torpedo, maybe it will be better. I will give it another shot though.

On another note, I just finished a Legends Orange Label (Rocky Patel). This was my first Corojo wrapper, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The flavor was excellent, medium bodied, very smooth. All in all, it was a great morning smoke. I did have to give it two corrective lights, but other than that no complains. This was my fourth Rocky Patel blend in two days, and out of the four, I have really liked 3 of them. I see a trend starting.....

The ones I've smoked were churchills.

Oliva V Special V, very good, Torpedo was better IMO

Had a Famous Nic Maduro Torpedo yesterday - good cigar for a bundle!

Had a frustrating day at work, 12 hours, no breaks, got home exhausted. Wasn't even going to light up but then decided on a La Aurora 1495. What great therapy. A perfect smoke.

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (and Explosives!) should be a convenience store - not a government agency.

I had one of my beloved Perdomo ESV '91 seconds tonight. As much as I tout these as being issue free, this one introduced a bit of a sluggish burn, not sluggish the whole way round mind you, but at random parts mainly after an ash dropping. The awesome taste is worth a couple corrections though, especially since these are the first corrections needed in all the ones I've burned through. Still a very nice smoke at a very, very nice price.

I had my first Padilla Miami tonight. It started off reminding me of the Habano - pretty spicey, but it abruptly changed to a nutty, woody, leather flavor. I was really liking this cigar about 1/2 the way in, and then it became a little too cigar lite, but it finished up nice. Need to try this again.
