Had the BlackBand Project B 'gar today at work . Pretty nice , good leather flavors and really opened up after about an inch , overall very enjoyable.

Had a Padron 1964....stellar as per usual....bitersweet time of year for me....I don't smoke inside or really go anywhere to smoke inside and it has as of tonight become too cold to fully enjoy so everything is getting put to sleep for 5 months until the spring.....

My Inventory

I rocked the Nub Habano tonight. this was my first nub. I was truly impressed. over an hour smoke, perfect burn, perfect flavor that didn't change much over the entire smoke which is what they say they are supposed to do. i never lost ash until i was done. This moves to the top 5 for sure. I would like to try a Nub Maduro

It's like the world's most amazing game of Tetris in my humidor.

Today I started with a Partagas Serie D #4 which is a pretty good cigar, though this one showed its youth being boxed in August of this year...still very good for only habing 3 months of box time on it. Later was a Bolivar LE 2009 Petite Belicoso, another young one but very tasty and well balanced despite that, probably due to the fact that the wrapper, binder and filler are all aged 2 years...I can see this one being very good come this time next year.

Had my first diesel and it was interesting to say the least. Gonna let the rest sleep for a long time.

My afternoon smoke today was a Perdomo estate vintage 1991 conny wrapper. It was good, burned perfect, great draw, a tasty mild/medium stick. Tonight was a ITC super fuente belicoso. It needed a few touch ups, but I really liked this stick. Great draw, great construction, and a very tasty stick IMO. I'm glad I have more getting some rest :^)

I had someone tell me the other night that these only burned for about 30 minutes , no matter what size, and that they weren't very good. After reading this, I might have to reconsider his recommendation.

Had a Tabak Especial this morning driving to work with a thermos of good coffee. Sure was nice and burned for an hour. Really added to the coffee nice.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this wrong or not because I keep posting and my post doesn't show up???

Anyway, this morning I smoked an AVO #2 with my morning coffee which was very good and will fit nicely in the #3 slot for morning smokes with my coffee.  The other 2 being the RP Autumn 2008 and the 5 Vegas Gold.

Today after lunch I enjoyed the heck out of a Camacho 1962.  I've really gotten into Camachos lately mostly because I've become a FULL bodied and FULL flavored man, even though I don't know the difference!

Being a full flavored guy I'll be hitting a DPG Blue tonight and maybe a Camacho Corojo.  I've only been into cigars for about 6 months now so I'm still experimenting with everything.  If anyone has some real good FULL suggestions I'd appreciate it.  I'm looking for something outside of what I've already had which are:

DPG Blue, Diesel, MOW Ruination, Padilla Miami, Cain, Camacho Corojo, San Cristobal, 5 Vegas Cask Strength, 5 Vegas Miami...all were very good I just enjoy the search.

OpusX. Try one or two of those. Also, I hear but have no experience with them that the Oliveros XL Bold is pretty strong. The Cu-Avana Intenso is strong but not too bad.

Thanks for the tips.  I'll get all over that.  I've heard a lot about the OPUS X, all good stuff.

Yeah, I've never had one go under an hour. And they're VERY good! Give them a try.

I'm giving the Carlos Torano Dominico that I got from stephen_hannibal a try. So far, so good. The burns a little uneven, but it's not too bad. It's pretty flavorful, a nice chocolatey nuance. I'm pretty satisfied, but I'm not too far in, so hopefully everything goes well.

Coaching is eliminating mistakes before they get you fired. Lou Holtz

Started with a Diesel this afternoon, it's a good smoke but honestly I'm not as thrilled with it as some are...for the price, yeah it's a great value, but for my tastes it's not one I'd be likely to grab very often. Later was a Tatuaje Havana VI corona gorda, good smoke despite the wrapper being in tatters. I finished off the day with a Fuente Añejo Shark...I really don't get the hype behind this line, it was decent but for the money I won't be buying any...like most Fuentes, it just doesn't appeal to my tastes.
