Had a cuavana intenso torp after work on the way to BWW. So good but I really don't think it was full bodies as I had it on an empty stomach and it didn't affect me at all. Sure was tasty though!!
CA Intenso is one of my all time cigars, love them.
Had an AB SCR last night and it was another damn fine cigar from the people at Alec Bradley! To me it reminded me of a cross between the Tempus and the Family Blend. Had some of the spicy notes that I pick up in the Tempus along with the sweetness of the Family Blend. This is one I'll have to get more of for sure! Thinking about kicking back with another smoke tonight while I watch the end of the Texas Rangers game... Not sure what to go with however.

Is that family blend good?
In my opinion it's the best smoke AB puts out today. I liked it better than the Tempus and it's in my top 10 smokes. Pretty impressive to me.
Sounds good, I got an email about them. I really liked the tempus but haven't smoke the SCR yet. I'll have to give them a whirl then. have you had the new release or just the first?
Had a great smoke from a local cigar bar in Miami that coachjamie sent me. Good solid cigar with lots of smoke.
~~~ Yo Jeff, those locally availble cigars can be eye openers... glad you had a really good one! Hope all is well with you and look forward to the next so cal herf you can make! Regards, Tim

The new release of the SCR? The one I had was from the Daily deal from a month or two ago. Didn't let it rest as long as I normally would, but couldn't resist anymore. I'm glad I gave in. I've had many of the Tempus and several of the Family Blend. I'm thinking about getting a box of the Family Blend soon.
I fired up a Xikar Defiance, the last one in my humidor. It was a lonsdale and a fantastic smoke as always! I wish I had bought a box of these when I first found them! I know it's a very similar blend in the new HC Criollo, but I've had it and it's just not quite the same. I'm glad my B&M has several singles of these left!
Not too shabby, as a newb I had never heard of Cuban Crafters until I bought my Humidor. But I have enjoyed the last couple of smokes I have had from them. I think I might buy some more from them.
I will not attempt any reviews until I am a more seasoned smoker though
Tried out the Renaissance last night. Really well constructed, might be the best burn of any cigar I've ever had. Aroma was ok, had a bit of that barnyard smell I don't care for. The flavor was typical of a Sumatran wrapper, maybe a little sweetness of the front end. Overall it was good, but not great. There are other Sumatrans that are better smokes and cheaper that make them a much more attractive choice for me.

Hope that was a long smoke...that was a 4 hour game

Can't wait to get back down there Tim, probably June is the next time I'll get down.

I didn't light up till the 7th inning and it was pretty close! lol
Huh, I smoked one today, too. It started out really fantastic, but I had to put it down halfway through. Got really bitter for some reason. Sad, this is normally a great stick.

Sorry man... maybe my coffee masked it. but it tasted great.
I had a un-named gurkha sent by Jsnake this morning, just had a gold old school label on it. I've never had it before so it couldn't have been more than a few sticks. I liked it actually, pretty tasty for a morning smoke. Sort of mild but the draw could have been better.
I'm enjoying the RP 1992 Vintage Robusto. I'm really digging this stick. Good construction (I've heard some ups and downs on the wrapper), great even smoke and a great draw. I may pick a few more up over at my local B&M later on this week.
