Had an Acid Def Sea. Did not like it. Found it kind of bitter, draw was loose and had some minor burn issues. Nice aroma, but thats it.

I tried my first cigar since Saturday today...been down with a cold, well not really that down because I kicked its ass out in a couple days but the chest congestion is hanging on, got rid of the head part pretty quick though. Anyhoo, first cigar back was a Xikar Defiance toro that tasted off no doubt due to the lingering chest crap. Oh well, always tomorrow.

Hope you get rid of that nastiness quick Joe, The Xikar Defiance is a really good cigar too bad you couldn't fully enjoy it ...

Thanks Gene, I'm hoping this won't stick around much longer, I'll have to charge rent come Friday. Until then, I may start blowing out some dog rockets, heck maybe they'll even taste good. :)

I tried out the RP 1961 today. It was good, not great, but good. It had a good burn and draw, was very well made, and I picked up some spice as well as the earthy taste that I associate with most of his smokes. The aroma was wonderful, but the flavor was just kind of lacking. I have another that I'm going to let rest for a few months before I decide if it's something I'll buy.

I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.

Had a Padilla Edicion Especial '06 last night. It was..umm... not my favorite. Had some mild-moderate burn issues, and I just wasn't digging it. Got kind of a toast and leathery taste from it that were enjoyable at first, but eventually the stick just kept bothering me and I tossed it with two inches to go...

Crappy day so far, might have a Olivia V maduro 09 tonight, might as well. MMMMM, thinking about it right now.

FAV. Smokes are in my Profile....Reviews

A cigar is for enjoying...how can you relax and enjoy your stick when you have burn issues.

I heartily agree buddy. I know a lot of guys will make do with their stick if it has burn issues, but personally I don't deal with it for too long. I won't toss my sticks at the first sign of a problem, but if it's ongoing and starts to irritate me, I'll just toss the stick. The irritation ruins the enjoyment for me, and at that point it's not even worth trying.

An Achilles? Was this the new or old blend?

Had a Alec Bradley Medalist tonight, not bad at all. It wasn't the best cigar, but it was satisfying and pretty tasty. Definately worth the price. Right now I am in the middle of a 5 Vegas Gold (the box-pressed one, I forget what its called) and it is as enjoyable as ever. I don't smoke these (or any Conny really) very often, but when I'm in the mood for one, they really hit the spot.

I have 3 choices tonight... 5 Vegas Miami Robusto, Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Robusto, or La Hernecia Cubana Robusto. I have 3 more hours to decide which one, or maybe more than one.

 

Tough choice

I haven't had the La Herencia, but I know the first two are quite good!

My favs are in my bio! You should do the same!

Every time you call in on your Ccom order, I suggest saying "All Hail the Beard" before you hang up. It's like a secret handshake.

Flip a three sided coin. You seriously cannot go wrong with any of those. If it were me though, I'd go with the Reserva Real simply because it has been some time since I've had one. Whatever you choose, enjoy.

I am going to pick something new out tonight. Not sure what it will be. I really should try something other then a Gurkha.

I had better check to see if CCOM sells the 3 sided coins.. I lost my last one in a poker game.  I think I will start with the Romeo y Julieta. If it does not get too cold overnight, I will probably have the 5 Vegas Miami as well.

A few weeks ago I ordered the Gurka Super Premium Sampler that was on as a Weekend Blitz. I have enjoyed a few of them already.
