I had my first Gurkha Evil, it was ok, I thought it would have been more full-bodied, but was just medium. The flavors started out ok, but became kind of flat at the end and the stick became spongy toward the last 3/4 of the stick.
I smoked several today, two were noteworthy. First of the day was a Punch petit coronation tubo box dated Oct. 07, I had a couple when I first got them and they were nothing special, this was some time ago because the one I smoked was covered in plume from head to foot and was very nice flavor wise. Thankfully I have an entire, unopened box. The other notable cigar was one third of a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet culebra, great flavor and balance, the best cigar I smoked today.
Smoked an AF Double Chateau Fuente last night...second one I've smoked in the last 6 mos and loved it! May smoke another one tonight if it doesn't get too cold!
Looks like a Cuesta R Sun Grown for tonight...they had a whole box hidden under the AFs...never tried them, will have to see how they are especially at their price!
i had an arturo fuente gran rosado or something like that.....the flavor wasnt bad but i had burn problems throughout the entire cigar and the draw was tight
Yesterday was a rare 4 smoke day for me! Started with a MOW Ruination early in the afternoon which was good, but I think needs more time. Wasn't as good as I expected. Next was an Opus X after a great steak dinner which was fantastic! This one had been in the humi since around Feb. and the time was a good thing! Next was the new Room 101 Conjura and this was much better than the regular Room 101 which I have enjoyed! Topped it all off with the new Viaje 50/50 Red Label blend which is much better than the original 50/50 blend which I also thought was very good. This was a fantastic night of cigars and WAAAY too much scotch! lol Ended up sleeping on my buddies couch because I was in no shape to drive! Great night all around!
Last night I took it easy and just had an ITC 10th robusto. After the 4 amazing (and full bodied) smokes I had Saturday I new I wouldn't be able to handle much last night. lol
I had a RP Puro Cubano last night, one that sandman sent me. Good smoke!
Nice glad that you liked it. I really liked those but just never seemed to get back around to smoking them. Funny thing is that it seems like I'm always trying the new stuff out there instead of going with things I know I love.
Just got back from a 5 day golf trip and had over 20 cigars. Most of the ccom regulars that you can find on here. I did try three new sticks that I purchased at a local B&M down there. The one was a house blend that I won't mention because even thought they are <1% of the size of ccom, I guess they are still a competitor. Anyways, it was very good. The other two sticks that I've never had was the Casa Magna with the Colorado wrapper. I really liked this stick. The other was an H. Upman Sun Grown. Can't lie, I didn't like it at all. I can't say it tasted bad, because it didn't taste like anything. For an hour and a half I sat there waiting for something that never happened.
