Sounds nice Scrambler. picking out subtleties is nice sometimes, but I completely understand just wanting to relax and let all thought just kind of slip away on a cloud of smoke.

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

I had my First Gurkha last night, got it in my first COTMC shipment.  I LOVED it. I don't quiet have the experienced pallate to taste alot of the "Tastes"  just trying to develop the pallate right now, but I really enjoyed the Titan.  Thank God I got the 5 pack on checkout

Kuzi's cigar catalog blending 101 developing your palate

The last two nights for me have been a Sol Cubano Sumatra toro and a HDM Tradicion epicure.

I had the Sol Cubano sitting in my briefcase all week and I think it hurt the construction - wrapper came apart. Flavor was nice though and I will leave the rest of the 5 pack in the humidor to rest for awhile

The HDM was great as always. This is certainly one of my favorite cigars, really, really love the flavors, great draw and lots of smoke.

Had a nice one tonight, I finally tried the ccom Brazilian label torpedo that has been hanging out in my humidor for about 6 months, I'm liking the ccom house labels more and more with each one I try.

I'm currently enjoying an Oliva Special G with a glass of chocolate milk. I think this is one of my favorite combinations now.

Interesting... I guess I can see a cameroon wrapper pairing with chocolate milk.... maybe I'll have to try that out one of these days.

I had the new Cuvee Rouge last night. Pretty good smoke, great burn. Any other thoughts on this cigar?

Last night was just an un-packing winding down night... I got all excited from Kuzi's prize, but was too afraid to smoke any of them right away so for me it was CAO Brazilia Box-press. This was a smooth and great cigar. I didn't do any kind of review for it was straight off to bed afterwards, but the cigar was one of the better tasting out there... I have another one resting and that will get the full-on review

Mr. Powers I got a Viagra stuck in my throat and I've had a Stiff Neck all day

Tonight was a Gurkha Titan.. I finally found an hour and fifty minutes !! to take this giant on. Now the maduro wrapper looked so great it was impossible to light it without admiring the black and reddish streaks in it. It was full bodied and pretty narrow dimension of taste but what it delivered was sensational. Spicy, peppery and kind of mossy but it made me stick around longer than I usually smoke a cigar. I had this one resting for only four months, and I can only wait to see what a year will do for my next one. Thumbs up on the Titan.

I love the Titan. Any night with one of those is a good one! I personally took it down a notch today though and had a Gurkha Regent (torpedo) with a bourbon. Another good combo, although it doesn't last as long...

Tonight was a Partagas Spanish Rosado for me, a robusto. This is quite a nice looking cigar with an even toned, reddish brown wrapper. It was ok, I've been having some allergy issues today so my taster is a bit lacking and hopefully that was the problem tonight and not the cigar so much.

For me it was a 601 Red label maduro robusto. Enjoyed the smoke with a nice flavor balance of spice and cocoa. Thanks Urby.
