Started with a LFD DL 600, but it was so plugged I gave up and layed it down. Hated to do it. Then I lit up a Diesel Unlimited Belicoso. Nice stick. After that I had some time so I tried out the San Lotano Maduro. It was ok.
I absolutely hate it when you site down to enjoy a cigar only to be welcome by a plugged or tightly roll cigar. It is a good thing to go back to the humi and choose another.

Yeah, I used to try and work through them, but it rarely works and I'm aggravated the whole time. That kind of defeats the entire purpose of having a cigar in the first place.
Started with an Ave Maria Crusader courtesy of a generous botl in Kaspera79, I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar even though it was fresh OTT. Early on I was presented with notes of cashew which is something I've never picked up before, very nice but utterly short lived, in the last third I was getting flavors of black tea that finished into anise. Nice complexity on the profile and superb balance. Finished off with a San Lotano maduro toro which I also enjoyed very much, I find trying to compare it with the habano exposes some shortcomings, but taken on its own it is a very nice cigar and a solid addition to the San Lotano line.
I'm so glad to have this thread to read while I'm at work late at night! I'm craving a good smoke and a single malt so badly this week, but it helps to be able to get a fix through all you guys! lol THANKS EVERYONE!
Went to a NUB event last night, pretty lame turn out but it was fun anyways. I smoked a Cain NUB maduro which was too dry and a bit harsh. After that I had my first Oliva V maduro. This thing was absolutely fantastic! I was expecting a lot from this one, but it blew my mind! I bought a box of these last year so they have some pretty good time on them now, I guess I need to light one up very soon!
Padilla Dominus with 6 months in my aging humidor. WOW. Time treats these suckers REALLLLLLY well. Leathery, spicy, and full of strong coffee notes. This is a full flavored, full bodied nuke.

The one you smoked last night, was it the new 2010? Or one of the older versions?
First stick of the day, Ave Maria construction is flawless, plums of smoke, great draw. It is in the upper side of mellow a good morning smoke it might find its way in my Humi if I can get it for the right price.

Was this fresh off the truck? I have some coming, and I don't know how long I will be willing to let them sit before trying one. Everyone is already into these things and I haven't tried one yet.

I've had two OTT, and both were fantastic. I think some rest is only going to improve them.

Since it's cold out (about 65F in Florida), I might go outside with a cup of hot chocolate and try a MOW Ruination
Can not go wrong with the Perdomo 10th Anniv, right now i am enjoying La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor. Good smoke but it will not reside in my Humi.
Laker, Yep just received Friday so it is right from the truck, although aging will only enhance the experience IMHO it is good to go.
