OK, this gives me a chance for a PTFTW

I'll lay off those a bit, if you wish... I don't usually point out the PTFTW unless I have something constructive to say, and I can't smoke tonight because it was pouring rain.

ummm milk it..

I had a wonderful 5 Vegas "A" last night. After using Kuzi's suggestions on developing the pallate I Was able to detect the peppery start, then followed by a constant Coffee taste. It was absolutely Wonderful Cigar. Thanks again Kuzi!!

rp edge

Good one luke, one of my favorites from Rocky.

I just got it and it smelled so damn good I couldn't wait...big, big fan of this cigar. There were so many different RP at the B&M that looked really good. There are two edges, sumata and ??? A friend recommended the sumata, which is why i grabbed that. What other RPs do you like, Kasper?

Tonight was a Graycliff purple-urple Legend, I wanted to see if I got the same from it this time as I did last time, and to my surprise I didn't. It was still good, but I got a spicier flavor profile this time around and noted a slight cherry flavor on the finish through the middle and last third of the cigar that I had not noted with the first one I had. Construction problems in the first third led to some pretty nasty burn problems, but nothing my torch couldn't fix and it evened out near the middle. A nice cigar and one I will be keeping in my rotation.

Aside from the one kas sent me, I'm out of those. I've got a box on back order, though.

I had an Onyx Reserve. Solid smoke, again. Has to be one of the better values in the cigar world these days.

Tonight I had a Carlos Torano Signature Collection that had been hiding out in my humi for probably 18 months. Damn it was good, possibly the smoothest cigar I have ever smoked. Rich chocolate and creamy all at the same time.

I just read it got the highest rating ever from Smoke magazine. I want to get some more, but it seems ccom doesn't sell them except in a sampler. I'll have to check the local B&Ms.

So i"m staring down a 18 mo aged la gloria cubana, and it looks good... it spent some time in between humidors so im a little worried... but her it go....

My favorite is the Vintage 1992, but the rest of the line is also very good 91990. and 1999) . I Like the sun grown, as well as the fusion line. I only had one connecticut and it wasn't my favorite, in fact I quit that one half way through, which I never do. I am going to try again with that one maybe just a bad day for smoking on my part. As far as the edge goes I enjoy the Maduro more than the Corojo

They are not always available in box lot but I just buy two or three 5packs.

Scrambler, I found the Signature by accident and it is my favorite of the Torano line ( so far) I just ordered some casa torano on a recomendation here.

Yeah, I thought about that, but the per cigar price difference between the fiver and the box is so huge, it kinda hurts my feelings to buy a fiver.

I guess you will have to wait than, patience grasshopper. I think they do that on purpose sometimes.

For me it was a 5 Vegas Limitada 07. Excellent stick with super flavor, excellent draw and lots of smoke.

Love the Limtada '07. Tonight was a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte corona for me. This is a cigar I would recommend to anyone who wants a cigar that a) won't cost but a few dollars, b) you can light and forget about and c) offers a good, straightforward flavor that's not harsh with a medium-full strength. Definitely a keeper in my book. Now to try the double maduro...
