    Last night I got to try something new that a friend of mine gave me. I tried out a Bravo. The first Colombian Puro I've ever seen. This was a pretty good smoke. It had some very interesting flavors and was very different than anything I've had in the past. I'll have to try this one again. Next had a 601 Green and as always it was a great smoke! Razor sharp burn and a good draw. Nice evening of watching it rain and relaxing.

    I find myself smoking more and more Nica Libre's....

    But last night during the phenomenal Packer game I was enjoying a Oliva Connecticut Reserve and eating local bar food "Nacho Tots"

    I'm about to light up a Libre myself. What are Nacho Tots? They sound pretty tasty.

    I had a CCOM Blue Label. It was pretty good, better than expected any way. But after I took a bathroom break for a couple minutes it got really acrid and bitter...?

    Basically Tater tots coverd in seasoned beef, different cheeses, tomatoes, onions, sour cream and salsa... It eats like a casserole and I could actually feel my stomach stretching!

    Wow. That sounds so awesome. These just might become my new game day food.

    I SOOOO wanted to smoke my first ISOM today, but I am waiting to here back on it's authenticity...

    I've never smoked a Cuban before and reading about fake's makes me nervous to have my first one be a impostor... We'll see!
  • A buddy of mine just came back from honeymooning in Barbados and brought back quite a few cigars, including a few Montecristo Habana's. Great smoke, very smooth, great construction. Great light cigar.

    My 2 5 packs of Libre's just came in last night. I think I'll wait a few weeks, though. Man I don't want to, but I have learned my lesson too many times.

    I just had my first Flor De Oliva Maduro tonight. I have been having some humidity troubles (running a little high) so it was tough to keep the wrapper lit but it was such a great cigar! I can't wait to get my new 300 ct. humidor so I can buy a box of these!
  • Had an Ambos Mundos by tatuaje last nite, good stick at a great price.

    I had a Cu-Avana Intenso, really love these, and it was so nice to just sit outside and smoke a strong stogie again. Thinking about maybe a Camacho Select for a night cap later.

    Going a bit lighter tonight. Perdomo Slow-Aged Lot 826 Glorioso. Nice sweetness to it. If you like the '91's you' enjoy these as well.

    Montecristo No. 4 ISOM...

    Now THIS is my first ISOM and it is starting out with a bang... light, earthy and woody... very creamy and cedary...

    I'm only a few puffs in, but Hope it stays as good

    Oh man, I had a No. 4 3 or 4 years ago, so amazing. Keep us updated. JEALOUS!!! Tonight I had a La Aroma de Cuba. Burned all sorts of weird, so sad. Still had good flavor, but it would have been far better had it burned right. My friend Tony had a 5 Vegas Miami and LOVED it. I tried it throughout his cigar, it was amazing. I love that cigar.

    The cigar was lovely... They say ISOM's have a distinct flavor and taste and it is pretty darn good. The cigar was from OCT 08 so it's still a little young but I got it down to a couple inches.

    It only ashed twice, having the ash stay on for about 2.5"

    Fantastic, not the best, but fantastic

    I have a bunch of #2s that I got last year in May and a few that I got this year and a few more coming in the next week.

    Do you find them stronger bodied being the bigger ring gauge? Or do most of the Monte's have the same flavor profile?

    Camacho Conn from the BlackBand Project ...was pleasantly surprised ...not really sure what I was expecting. Nice pepper flavor on nasal exhale and veerrryyyy smooth ...
  • Having a cusano P1 as we speak. Just about a half inch in and so far so good. Not a bad lil smoke and budget friendly

    I've only ever had the #2 Monti.

    Had a Padilla 1948 churchill this afternoon, good smoke as always.
  • betasynnbetasynn Posts: 1,249
    Enjoyed a Cain Habano, so that I could report back. Pretty good, not a full bodied cigar, actually. I'd throw it on the fuller size of medium.
