I'm going to try an Ashton VSG Corona Gorda. Had one before but don't remember a whole bunch about it. This has been resting for about 16 months, so I'm looking forward to it.

I am trying a partagas that has been resting for a bit in my humidor.

I just tried a La Aurora Leon Jimenes Belicoso maduro from a sampler that i received several months ago. The dark maduro wrapper of this cigar had a very pronounced vein structure. When i removed it from the humidor i looked closely and found that it had an oily bloom! I guess this is a good thing? This cigar was a bit strong for me yet the very spicy and varying complex flavors kept me intrigued enough to want more. The draw was effortless and it stayed burning well with a nice white ash right down to the nub, even with only one or two puffs a minute. I read that this one got a CA rating of 93. I think i am becoming a maduro fan very early in my smoking and collecting hobby. I will put this one on a box list for sure.

We had general cigar rep at my local BM tonight he was passing out some Punch cigars. What a good time when everyone shows up for a free cigar and conversation. My BM turned a large room out back into a lounge. Will spend alot more time there cause the wife does not appreciate a fine cigar.

I do appreciate going to my B & M for an event. A couple of cold ones and some good converation, hard to beat. I haven't explored the world of Punch, what did you have and what did you think?

Lighting up a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet No. 4. These things are my babies, I have not smoked much else this week.

Had myself a La Flor Domincana L300, aged 9 mos. This smoke was perfect for the night. Lots of smooth flavor, med to med-full body, hint of sweet spice, some earthiness and a woody flavor, great burn, plenty of smoke, finger tips burnt. Went nicely with a touch of Glenfiddich. Very happy!!

I smoked a Padila Miami Belicoso Fino today....what a great cigar has been aging for a year and is one of my favourites.

I had an Ashton VSG last night, it was wonderful. On tonight's menu is a Punch Rare Corojo El Doble that's been in the humi since 2-10-07. I selected it last night and moved it to the top tray so I wouldn't forget and grab a Sol Cubano as I almost alwys do.

Last night I resorted back to my personal favorite, CAO cx2, and it was great. Tonight I think ill try my 5 Vegas Miami, I keep hearing everybody say how good of a cigar it is so I think ill try it for myself.

Had myself a Cabaiguan Guapo that was been sleeping for 6 months. This is a new one for me. Overall it was ok, just didn't get me excited.

Had about an hour drive to the airport tonight...with last cigar.com buy I got their house sampler...so I grabbed a cigar.com cuban label. No offense to cigar.com but I wasnt expecting much...but I was pleasantly suprised...the cigar drew and burned well and had decent flavor.....not an amazing smoke or any excitement but for the price its a pretty good smoke..........well done cigar.com
