Well tomorrow will be the big day of moving for us where we get all the big stuff moved over to the new place and I'm sure afterwords I'll be tired and in desperate need of a drink and a smoke. Not sure what I'll be smoking just yet, but it will have to be something good to break in the new patio! I'm not sure if I'll have internet until Monday but I'll try to keep updated on my phone! Everyone have a good weekend!
Went to lunch with a customer today and decided to stop at a local smoke shop. I ended up buying a couple of the Opus X - we took the long way back to his office and enjoyed the cigars. Now.....I'm spoiled. Lunch was terrific as well, a pasta dish with cream, chicken, spinach and candied walnuts.
Thanks to Jozer and sending me 5 5 vegas 2010 sticks I am half way through one of them and I really like it. It's probably my 2nd fav if not fav of the line.

I like how you have them at time slots... wish I could smoke that many in one day, thinkin I'll have my RP Edge or La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte
The time thing is easy, just start burning sticks first thing in the morning and basicly never stop. LOL. Just some clarification the larger gaps in the morning are when I was attending all the meetings I have to sit through and the afternoon gap is when I was constructively persuing my vocation.
had a Camacho triple maduro with about 18 months on it today. i dont think this peaked but it aged very well. i may have to get a bunch of these and let them sleep.
Gonna enjoy a big ol' Olor Fuerte churchill along with a couple doubles of good sour mash bourbon on the rocks at our regular Saturday afternoon herf. Aahhhh! Muy Bueno.
G2 for now . . . think I'll have to light up an RP Connecticut or a Perdomo 10th Anniv. Champagne later tonight and pair it with a little B&B on the porch . . . I just hope my citronella candles can keep those $%^&* mosquito's off me
Diesel. First one since I smoke a few fresh off the truck in October 09. They were good then, they're phenomenal with almost 8 months age on em. So glad I still have 8 more.
edit.... following it up now with a Pioneer Valley Maduro courtesy of ljl's mooch package. Nice cigar. Good burn, tight ash, and a nice sweetness. Downsides are firm draw and it's threatening to go out, so I'm having to smoke it quick. Definitely nice flavors though, enough sweetness to follow up the Diesel and stand out still.
Had a V. Organic this morning, 5 Vegas Classic in the afternoon, Man 'O War while manning the grill, and just grabbed a Punch to finish the night. First 4 stick day for me in quite a while.
Went to a buddies b.day party and he had a bon fire going. Started with a Monte Cristo White, it was ok but needed more rest. I was kinda bummed about that, it cracked a bit, was a bit tight, and didn't burn quite right. Oh well. Second up was a Cuban label,it was my first one, good stick. Third was a 5 Vegas AAA that was boxed in Jan 09 and it was fantastic! I'm thinking about going for a fourth, but not sure yet...been a good day :^)
Edit: Actually I forgot, I had a Torano Dominico earlier this afternoon. So it was a 4 stick day after all. Good stuff...

Glad you got some enjoyment out of it. Just got a great price on them, so I had to try, pleasant surprise. Having a ITC super fuerte - another great budget stick - like this one, can have some burn issues though...
Working so nothing tonight but Monday morning when I get home I will be enjoying something. Trying to decide what though. Hmmmm decisions decisions.....lol
Had an OpusX robusto last night, been in the bottom of the humi for about 2 years. Ran into the infamous opus burn problems(first one i had that burned funky....almost as bad as a padilla obsidian) Flavor was great, just had to keep touching it up. Great cigar if your patient and find deals on em.
Just had a Ccom Purple Label, not bad at all, tough draw at the beginning , but it got better as it burned, took off the band near the end and it unraveled a bit. Good flavor for a mild smoke.
