    Last night I enjoyed a Cugine by Arganese. I've had several of these and they are always a fantastic cigar! For the price they really just can't be beat!

    Had a Tabacos Baez SF Corona... not a bad cheap smoke.

    Earlier I had a Padilla Habano torpedo and it was a struggle the whole time. I like these cigars but for some reason the torpedos always give me burn problems even when babied. I much prefer the churchill for this cigar. I'm going to need another cigar later to make up for the frustration of losing the battle against Padilla and his army of bad burners.
    That's surprising. This is one of my "everyday" smokes and I have never had a problem. That roller must have had a bad day. Sorry for your luck. I'm a big torpedo fan but for some reason I always order these in the toro.

    I haven't had very good luck with the torpedo either, for me it was always the wrapper either it would split while smoking or it would crack when I cut it. I've recently revisited the Habano line in the toro and churchill and have been loving them, as hassle free as I could ask for.

    Yup, from now on I'll be sticking with the churchill and toro size, too.

    I had a nice Nub habano later on and felt much better. Those things are deceivingly strong.

    On my way to work this morning I had a Gurkha Grand Envoy.
    I got these about 4 months ago and this is my first time trying it.
    This stick is an instant classic!!! I will have to get more of these.

    I may have a few of these lying around. If I do, u interested in a trade? If I have them, they've been aging since September 2008. They are the Presidente (7.0" x 52) size.

    Let us know what ya think of the GOF Urbs. I've had one and it was damn good.

    Last night I started with an Alec Bradley Tempus which was great as always. Followed the Tempus up with a Tatuaje Havanna VI in the robusto size. I can't remember exactly the name of it, but another great smoke! Good night for me with cigars! Also got my AB 5 pk sampler from the Daily Deal in the mail yesterday so that was wonderful!

    Had a DPG JJ maduro robusto on the drive home from work, nice smoke, though driving is not the ideal venue to enjoy it sure does pass the time well. Later I settle down with a lovely Cohiba Esplendido that was gifted to me by Sandman at the herf, loads of creamy, silky-smooth smoke, a great flavor that can't be replicated and a certain something that just makes you sit back and say " oh yeahhh...". Thank you Tony for that cigar, it really helped me to relax after a long day at work.

    Well, I gotta say it's not my cuppa. It's a good cigar, but much too spicy for me. I got some other flavors, especially kind of a root vegetable thing every now and then, but the spice overwhelmed everything. It might be just the thing for Maddy, but not for me. Also, I like a cigar that generates tons of smoke, and this one didn't.

    I've got another one of these. Maybe like it better when I get around to breaking it out.

    Finishing up with a little Camacho 1962 perfecto.

    I've had a few but my last one which was maybe in July of last year was phenominal. It produced a lot of smoke and I don't remember spice however that main flavor was awesome but I can't place what it is. Reminded me of like a thick power.

    I had an Oliveros LTD sitting around the campfire the other night. Fan-freakin-tastic! Couldnt have had a better cigar for the setting.

    I just finished a 262 robusto gifted to me from Jerry Ernst. Nice medium smoke for the middle of the day. Still have 1 torpedo and 1 more robusto in the humi. Think I'll give them a little more age to see how well they develop.

    Hm. I don't know, wheelz, it sounds like we had two completely different cigars. Might yours have been the Carlito?

    The weather is gonna be gorgeous again tonight. I'll have to come up with something stupendous to smoke.
