Last night I had an Excalibur Dark Knight (tubo) by Hoyo de Monterey. Overall it was a good smoke with notes of coffee and cocoa dominating the profile with a hint of leather and earth. I'm not sure why (probably because of the guy who recommended it at my local B&M), but I expected a little more spice and kick to this one. Probably a good thing that it wasn't too strong because I realized about half way through that I was starving. So if you're looking for an early morning smoke with your coffee or afternoon smoke with an espresso, this would be good. Just not an after dinner smoke.

I've been wanting to try that cigar.

Went to my best friend's house earlier tonight and brought a few sticks for some friends while we all hung out. I brought one of my Camacho Pre-Embargo cigars for myself and I'm glad I did. While I'm sure now that these will be incredible smokes with some age, I really enjoyed this one being fairly fresh.

There was a subtle sweetness along with very earthy, leathery notes to this cigar that one would expect from an actual cuban cigar. What got me the most about this stick was the amounts of smoke that came from every draw. Absolutely incredible. Almost effortless draw without being too loose and just tons of smooth, flavorful smoke with every pull. Just about burned my fingers on this one and I haven't done that with a cigar in a LONG time.

It's now on my highly recommended list, but I'd recommend it in at least a 3 or 5 pack at a decent price. I think it'll be a nice cigar to have one shortly after getting them and age the others at least 6 months to a year to see how they change.

I have five of these hanging out in the humi, I'm stokked to try one now. Thanks for the review!

Ubi Cigar

Glad to hear it. I picked up a couple of the one day deals these were offered in a week or so ago. Like always, I will fire one up shortly after receiving them and the rest will be for aging and ordinance.

The Camacho PE is a really great smoke. They do only get better with time too...I like them so much that I picked up a box on auction...got it for less than half price too, so I was super stoked. Great cigar, good review Rob.

"As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more." - Jules Renard

dude, a box for half price would be friggin fantastic....if only I had room for any more smokes. For those of you who haven't tried them - if you can get your hands on 'em at a decent price (like the daily deal ccom recently offered - 5 for $35 was an incredible price - I WISH I bought two packs, but I was dumb and only picked up one) I'd say jump on them quick. Under $10, it's a great smoke, but not at $25 a stick. Maybe they'll offer these on a one day deal again soon (HINT, HINT).

All this talk aboutthe pre embargo inspired me to light one up(props joe!). Wow, what a fantastic smoke. I'm currently at the halfway point and that sweetness is nice. Kinda like toffee and vanilla, lots of leather and deep coffee. Smooth billows of smoke with every puff and what i consider a absoutley perfect draw. Damn i shoulda jumped on that daily deal, this is a damn fine smoke! If you guys havent had one i uber-reccommend it!

It's Beer! Hooray Beer!

I completely agree and am glad we see eye to eye on the profile Jet. Kind of confirms my pallet is on the spot at least some of the time. The more I think about it, the more I want another one.

Glad you enjoyed it Vinny, I figured you would knowing what I know about where your tastes are. I think the PE might fall just outside my top five favorite list, but it is definitely well regarded in my book. Them boys at Camacho sure do know how to make a cigar.

"Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth" Bill Hicks

It's been a while - I was just down in FL for a weekend and found some time at night to have a cigar each night I was down there.

The first night was at Corona Cigar Bar in Orlando - upon recommendation of one of the shop guys, I picked up a Greycliff purple label. I figured Greycliff is a great name - I loved the 1666, so I'd give this a shot. The cigar started out nice, woodsy, not as much spice as I'd expected since he recommended it as a very full, strong cigar. After a few inches, however, it just kind of died out. Not much else went on after this point and I ended up putting it out a little soon. Disappointing for what I paid for it.

Next night I had an Opus X Lancero that I brought down. While this was a tasty cigar, again, I expected much more spice being an Opus. Still nice earthy notes and some sweet nuances. Strong as one would expect - I felt like I'd just had 2 more drinks after finishing this one. Overall, good, but not my favorite opus (the #5 is my fav so far).

The last night, I went for the 5 Vegas Cask Strength II that I've had my eyes on for a while. This was an excellent cigar and I'm having a hard time not ordering a box of these right now. Unfortunately, I'm low on my budget and completely out of room in my humis at the moment. Nice spice, but not overbearing, paired with woodsy, earthy and slightly sweet (almost raisin) notes. I highly recommend this cigar.

Glad to hear that the Cask Strength II is a good smoke, just picked up a few in a recent order. Would you put some age on it, or is it good enough to smoke fresh?

I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.
