Had a Blue Steel last night... and this morning I had a DE Natural Root. The Blue Steel was different than I remember a bit more spicy. The DE Natural was so far from anything I was expecting. It had a pipe tobacco taste and aroma which was consistent through the first 2 3rds. The finally third however Introduced a distinguished orange/citrus flavor.
today im heading out to the porch to smoke an El Tiante Maduro Churchill.
Filler: Habano Nicaragua and San Andres Mexico
Binder: Sumatra Mexico
Wrapper: Nicaragua
this cigar is made by Red Sox Legend Luis Tiant and has been sitting in my humidor since3-14-08
Poker Slob:
Tiant was also a pitcher for the Indians
im not a huge follower of baseball. sooo...you may be right. at some point her may have pitched for the indians. I got my info from HERE I took it for what it said.
Started off today with a Verdadero Organic with breakfast, really good with raisin toast After lunch was a Cuban Label, dont know why it took me so long to try that one...Later on today i have a cigar event at the B&M with Tim Ozenger...probably will burn through a mx2 or an america and whatever else he is travelling around with these days.
I wish I hadn't wasted my time smoking anything today, three cigars were all but wasted on account of me getting over a flu bug combined with allergies. Suffice to say I didn't taste a whole lot, so I may as well have been smoking Swishers. Among the wasted: Perdomo ESV '91 Phantom, Padron 1964 Imperial habano (tear), Tatuaje T110 (double tear)
Oh man you sacrificed a Padron aniv......man........
I'm about to go outside and have a Fonseca Habana Seleccion, the one from the COTMC a few months ago. This will be my first Fonseca, hopefullly I enjoy it!

Even worse, I wasted a Tat T110, those are way harder to come by.
Retired to the deck after grilling some steaks this evening . A ERDM ISOM compliments of j0z3r combined with about 4 michelob lights combined with a pain pill and a muscle relaxer for my back and DAAAAMN !!! I am totally relaxed ... the ERDM was lights out ! Excellent flavor with just an awsome flavor on the exhale thru the nose ...thank you very much Mr. j0z3r ... I don't think I could move very fast right now if my as_s were on fire ...whoa ...time for another beer .

What a let down this stick was... It tasted a little off, maybe even a little bit of amonia. I think I have another here somewhere, I think I'll le that one sit for a while longer... Maybe the extra age will help it out.
I don't know what it is about that smoke though, but I really wanted to like it. I was dissapointed and now I feel lied to... HA. I haven't ever even heard much about Fonseca to make me think so highly of them to begin with. Must just be that the name sounds classy or something...

Glad you enjoyed it Gene, I think that's a great cigar for a very reasonable price as far as ISOMs go. The next time I buy some it will be a cab of 50 for sure. Take care Gene, hope your back starts feeling better.
Earlier I lit up a Man O' War Virtue toro that was calling to me, very nice cigar, the flavors seem like a cross between an ESV and a Sol Cubano Conn. with something extra thrown in. Later on I had a Bolivar petit corona, tight draw but excellent flavor.
Had a Graycliff 1666 torpedo last night. I think I am convinced that the 1666 is not for me. The stick had about 6 months of rest on it. The burn was good, but the flavors were quite "blah."
Gurkha Nepalese Warrior (second of two from the Gurkha sampler I got a few months ago).
I was thoroughly unimpressed with the first of these due to both the flavor and some serious wrapper issues. The second one is treating me a whole lot better in the flavor department and I'm coming to like this stick. However, the wrapper issues are still present. I would be concerned that it's my Humi doing it but it's spot-on. Plus I just had a RyJ Reserve Maduro a few nights ago that was perfect.

turned out to be a decent cigar.

I had a Camacho Coyolar this afternoon - fantastic smoke. Finished the night with a CAO Brazillian cigarillo - nice 40 minute smoke, I enjoyed it.
If you're out there somewhere, reading along, doody, this one's for you. Raises lighter.

Cuba Libre x2 (not bad)
Padilla Obsidian (what were they thinking?)
Cu-avana Intenso (always pleasing)
