Camacho Triple Maduro... amazing!
Liga Privada
Punch Upper Cut
Partagas Black
Others I cant recall... It's been a decent week for cigars for me. I picked up a couple LFD double Ligero maduro Chisels, as well as a couple more hard to find smokes.
How was the Upper Cut?
I had a La Cuna bin no. 85 .... it rated as an 'ehhh'
I would rate the uppercut about the same... It was def. full bodied, but lacking a little in the flavor. I want to give it another shot though because I feel it had some potential with a little rest on it. I smoked it fresh from the B&M... I think a month in a stable humi would do this smoke a lot of good.
Yea the very full bodied smokes tend to do nicely with some age. Did you notice any hints of ammonia through the nose or a "bite" as you got towards the end?
There was a very unpleasent sting through the nose with this one. It might have been a bit of ammonia. I had the robusto and smoked 3/4 of it. It was a bit too harsh on the finish for me to enjoy the whole thing. I didn't hate it, it just didn't really live up ot the expectations I guess. If you have any, let them sit for at least a little while. These could be good right away, but they need to stabilize first.
Started with 2 Pedomo Lot 23 natural robustos, these are becoming a habit and I like it. I finished off me day with a Camacho 1962 PE, this one came off as considerably stronger than those I've had in the past, left me really feeling it in my gut.
Just had a Romeo y Julieta Vintage Maduro normally I enjoy this smoke but this one had a bad draw, too tight, tried to open it up but couldn't really grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Suck, man. My friend's been congested for about a week and he's been inhaling hot sauce to clear up his sinuses. It works for about half an hour. This could be a good time to smoke all your crap cigars (if you have any).
I had a 3 cigar day yesterday. Probably the most I've smoked in one day ever, lol. Started with a DPG Series JJ Maduro, had a CAO La Traviata later on at the bar (wow!) and finished with a CAO Brazillia. All great smokes. I think the La Traviata won the night for interesting flavor. Very different flavors than anything I'd smoked before. Couldn't put my finger on what it was, but I really enjoyed it.
Graycliff 1666 PGX.... 2/3 to nub was like smoking a cedar plank...but not necessarily in a bad way.... canoed real bad from start to finish... REALLY thick smoke!!! 86/100
I smoked too many cigars today, but I'm not complaining. Started with a Perdomo Lot 23 natural robusto. Up next was part of a DPG Vegas Cubana toro, but I wasn't really feeling it and let it die about halfway. After that I had a Camacho SLR maduro robusto which was pretty good. Next up was a Camacho Corojo robusto which was also pretty good. Took a break for a while and then lit up a Camacho Select robusto which was incredible, the best Camacho I've had right next to the CLE figurado. And finally I had a Camacho SLR habano churchill...kuzi has said more than once that the SLR maduro is better than the habano, and I'm in complete agreement, the habano is good but the flavor doesn't pop like with the maduro.
If you're wondering why so many Camacho cigars, well I decided to bury the hatchet with Camacho over the Black Band Project crap and today I got an order from cigar.com with the Camacho Monarcha sampler and was determined to start working my way through it. That and I was getting reacquainted with Camacho as I haven't really had any for quite sometime save for the PE. And what a good day it was, I really need to get some more of the Select, that was a fabulous smoke.
I have an LFD Double Ligero 660 poised and ready for the evening
It's gonna be a gooooooooood night for you.
so I had this tonight and I liked it a lot. very very good. I am looking forward to my Litto Gomez Diez 2009 chisel for tomorrow night. If it's as good as it's supposed to be, I will be very happy
Ended up meeting up with Scrambler and his girlfriend. I had a Joya de nicaragua Dark Corojo. Very nice but it was fresh from the shoppe and over humidified, it burned ungodly slow.
