Nothing for me tonight as I'm having some nasal congestion problems that would ruin an otherwise great cigar.

But last night I decided to pick two cigars from my humidor and give them a whirl, the first being a Don Pepin Cuban Classic, torpedo style and the second one being a Romeo y Julieta Viejo, the "R" size.

I enjoyed both cigars, but I have to give the nod to the Romeo y Julieta. The only thing I can say that is negaitve about this cigar is that I found the draw to be a little on the tight side, but that hardly detracts from the wonderful flavors and aromas this cigar produced. It burned cool and even the entire time and the ash refused to fall until it had exceeded 2.5 inches in length, but oddly enough it went out roughly an inch from the head on its own, suppose it was telling me I'd had enough. I will purchase more of these in the future, actually I just did, but I'm sure there will be more.

The Don Pepin Cuban Classic was not bad by any means though. Conversly to the R&J, I found the draw on this cigar to be a bit looser than I would have preferred. This cigar burned cool until a bit past halfway when a bit of heat started coming through, though that did not detract one bit from the smoke. There were slight bits of some uneven burn, but the cigar always righted itself, and the cause may well have been a bad light on my part. A good cigar that I could consider purchasing again.

Last night I decided to have a 601 Habano Robusto. The cigar was good except the draw was rather tight. I'd consider it to be medium bodied (maybe a bit more) with woody, nutty flavors and a bt of spice.

I have been experimenting of late with the flavor infusions of Drew Estates. I can say that I heartily endorse the squared off Javas.  Aside from a slight misadventure in the cutting, it was a most thouroughly enjoyable experience.

The draw was excellent and smooth with large volumes of smoke. But of course the whole reason for any of the Drew estate cigars is the intense flavor.  I have to say that this was one of the best smoking experiences of my admittedly limited experience.

The espresso and cocoa flavors reminded me of a sipping chocolate (very intense dark hot chocolate beverage). I think I have a new favorite smoke.

I'm smoking a Cohiba something. Its from a turkish vendor here in Iraq. Its a robusto sized cigar with a medium color and nice woody notes on it. The desert hasnt been too good to it, but the ones in my humidor will be better, but thanks to the military postal service, I have been scrounging for smoke lately. My poor cigars have no time to rest. I just made a big order, so hopefully that'll get me back in the black. Anyone want to put one of these in thier humi? Or maybe you should wait and read my review first.

Tonight..RP Decade..very smooth, enjoyable good smoke.

Nice evening and had a few minutes to spare so fired up a Sosa Exclusive Petite Cetro Maduro. This was a little firecracker. Great burn, lots of smoke, and lots of spice (start to finish) with hints of cream and coffee.

Tonight I am looking forward to a 5 Vegas Limitada 2006.   

Tonight I had me a A. Fuente Don Carlos and couldn't have been more perfect. It had about 5 months in the humidor. Loads of cool smoke delivering sweet wood and leather with hints of spice every now and then. Was perfect with a rum and coke on a nice calm night.

Time to try a new one....A. Fuente King B. Great looking and very firm. Some cedar (it was in a cedar sleeve), little woody, little toasty. The smoke was not bad, just wasn't great. Prefer the Hemingway or Don Carlos.
