An RP I-Press. I've always enjoyed the blend but have had burn issues with them...after 6 months in the humi, this one burned really nice. Shame he's gonna quit making them.
Went out for one more, this time a Bolivar Corona Gigante, or a churchill in normal cigar speak. Excellent flavor, top notch construction with a mostly ok burn, a few touch-ups here and there... the taste of the cigar more than made up for the few corrections.
Had a La Gloria Cubana Medaille d'or #2 and it was fantastic. It had a tight draw that I've come to expect of cigars from the island, but it was ample enough to get a good amount of smoke and the burn was pretty even. The cigar burned incredibly slow, I was smoking it for 2 hours and when I put it down there was still almost 2 inches left on it. Definitely going on my list to revisit.
Come to think of it ever Isom stick Ive smoked had a pretty darn tight roll and tight draw on it. Nevery really made the connection until you just pointed it out.
Just finished sitting out back watching some of The Masters and having one of the Tatuaje Series P's that I picked up today. For a mixed filler just over $4 a stick it was pretty good. I think it will get better with some more time in the humi.
Just had my first 5 Vegas AAA and it was great. I really enjoyed every second of it. Good thing too, cuz I bought a box of them without ever having tried one...
Romeo y Julieta Viejo C last night to start. It had ok flavors but nothing jumped out at me. It did burn over two hours though! Then, I had a RP Renaissance Toro. This is either my second or third one of these. I can't remember how they tasted before but this one just plain sucked! It's had at least a year of rest on it and the humi that it is in is one of the most consistant of all of mine.
Friday was a RP Decade for lunch, and a Nestor Plascencia Ruky on my commute. Today I had an El Titan de Bronze Redemptio Maduro for lunch, ad a RP Sungrown on thr ride in.
Last night I had the first cigar from a box of ISOM San Cristobal de la Habana "El Torro" cigars from May of 2001. What a beauty of a cigar! Perfect draw, a variety of spice and complexity that changed more often than our Northern Canadian weather with woodsy / cedar / earth and bean notes, bla ...bla....bla. It was good eh?
MOW Ruination. this is my first one and it is damn good. why did I wait so long
Because you wanted to let it age in your humi for a while, just to maximize how great those sticks are? I friggin' LOVED the MOW Ruin I smoked last week.
Yeah, I really liked it. I actually have a couple Diesel's aging right now for the same reason. I had one fresh after having an 8 month old one and the difference was DRASTIC. The MOW Ruination was really good though.

My favorite stick. Can't wait to break out one of the last three I have. They have almost a year on them now.
I had my second MOW Virtue, this one the robusto size. Another good stick, but not up to par for me with the MOW Ruination or Diesel. I really need that full-body. I'm going to let the last 4 age for a while, see how much better they get.
Just finished an El Cobre by Oliva and all I have to say is WOW! One of the best smokes I've had in a while. The last smoke I had that really blew me away like this one was the Alec Bradley Pryme. Thanks a million to Joe, who hooked me up with the two El Cobres. I smoked the first one shortly after I got them and don't remember it being this amazingly good. I will be purchasing more of these gems!
I tryed to smoke a CAO Italy ... My efforts were fruitless.... This thing was rolled tighter than a Two Dollar Clock ..... had a realy spicy Light .. not allot of smoke but this thing wouldnt get rollin. It was like trying to suck a Bowling Ball through a MCD's Straw........ this is my third CAO cigar.. Loved the Brazillian But I am far from Impressed with this Brand.... The President of CAO is going to be in the area this week. Doing a Cigar Show at a Local Indian Casino... I think Ill go see if there is something to make me change my mind.

I agree, the El Cobre is probably my #1 all time fav stick. And yes, they age very well. Good luck finding them though. I've tried to contact Ccom about getting some, but have gotten conflicting answers. Not sure if you can still get them or not.
Today we christened our new fire pit in the back yard and it ended up being a 3 stick day for me. Started with a MOW, totally awesome stick as usual. Next up was an Arganese Uno Puro. It was pretty good, kinda mild, decent stick. Last was a CAO LAnniversaire Maduro in a vitola they don't make anymore the deluxe I. It was pretty good, tight draw, but good flavors. It's been one hell of a beautiful day up here in the Pac NW!

What did you think of the 1666. I had one didnt care for it and have heard not very good things about it.

Well I do know where to get my hands on some and if you're interested, shoot me a PM. The price is pretty good on them too.
