I had my first Jesus Fuego product last night. I have heard rave reviews of his work, much like A. J. Fernandez. I had the J. Fuego Gran Reserva Corojo No. 1 Belicoso. It was a beutiful reddish cigar, well constructed. It had a smooth pre light draw, and a sweet smell. It's burn was perfect, and it lasted about an hour. It started off mildly spicy, then mellowed out into a fine medium bodied smoke. I will definitely buy more of these, as well as trying other Fuego releases. I would love to find the 777 in Maduro, It looks awesome in the catalogs.

nearing the end of a T52 Liga Privada, anyone got a bowl?

I guess you like it? :)

Well this one did have a major burn/construction issue that developed and nearly ruined the first half. but once I got through it the second half was wonderful and I was not ready fo it to be over.

I am going to have a 5 Vegas Gold, this will my 2nd 5 Vegas and hopefully a better smoke/experience than the Classic I had last week.

I really enjoy the 5 Vegas Gold. Hopefully your experience will be as pleasant as mine have been with this stick!

That's two quote's on this forum that I took COMPLETELY different and my mind immediately thought of the poster as puking there guts out... (TheShaun's "Plunger" comment and now this one)

I think I need to stop reading the "Turning Green" thread so I don't read into too many posts....

Who Farted?

I just had me a real nice Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur. It's the second one i've had and I'm loving them, especially after an extra long day.

I just finished my Room 101 60 guage hog. It was a good medium bodied cigar. It cost about $10, which is not too bad for such a large cigar. I usually smoke torpedos, so it was hard to manage 60 rings.

Who Farted?

Just had my first Diesel. Couple corrective lights for an uneven burn but I nubbed this one. Really good cigar. I'm gonna have to buy a box!

Had another multiple cigar day, trying like hell to smoke down some overflow. Started with a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real toro, smooth, creamy mild cigar, I always like these. Later was a Napa Estate toro tubo from H Uppman, another nice mild cigar that I picked up for less than $2 on auction. After that was a Joya de Nicaragua Clasico criollo torpedo, very nice cigar by itself, and for the budget conscious a good choice for less than $5, and that's not a qualifying statement, it would be good if it cost $7-$8, but the price point on it is an added bonus. To finished things off was a Kristoff criollo toro, very smooth medium bodied cigar, nice flavors with an excellent balance.

Tuesday night I had a 5 Vegas something or other. It was a little tiny torpedo that came in a tin of 10. I forget what it was. I have had two before this and they developed tar buildup. This one I only smoked half way because it was for a short drive from home to school. It was ok. No tar buildup but was a little bitter. I've had these easily for 6 months.

Yesterday I started with a GAR. My first and only one. I got this in a custom sampler back at the beginning of July. When I first lit it, the end cracked. It smoked ok for the first half but after that I had a hard time keeping it lit. I don't know why I had such a problem because this thing has been sitting in nothing above 70% but closer to 66 - 67 for months. I did get some really nice tastes out of it every once in a while but that was about it. Not sure I would get another one. My second cigar was a Gurkha Legend Churchill that I got when I signed up for the cotm club back in March or April of 08. This cigar was ok but I liked the torpedo better.

Picked up 15 Gurkha Legend Presidente's recently, and am very curious on how an 8-1/2" cigar will smoke.
