this had about a year on it. it became way more coffee than i usually prefer but i could see others like it with some age. me... i prefer them fresh.
I've only ever had them fresh from the B&M. Never could resist one in the humi long enough to let it sit. lol
this is where an aging humidor and a bit of will power come into play. anything that enters the aging humidor does not come out until at least a year is on them. i dont even look through that humidor save for maybe twice a year. i just check the RH. this is how i sometimes "loose" sticks. i do need a larger aging humidor.
I smoked a Gurkha Park Ave Churchill this morning and then this afternoon braved 21 degrees to smoke a Padilla Habano Toro. My wife said I was crazy, but funny all 3 dogs came outside through the dog door to join me and brave the cold instead of staying inside with my wife and my 1 year old son. Damn dogs are awesome!!!
Today was a Cusano Habano Sungrown LXI, While I haven't given Cusano a lot of attention, I've had this one resting since they first came out, probably two years. This one was really good. A nice full bodied smoke with plenty of flavor to keep one interested. The burn was near perfect, draw equally good, . it just got a little too strong for me near the last third. Lesson here, don't attempt this one on an empty stomach.
Had a Tat Black, first time, great flavour profile and a nice zing to it although I had major wrapper issues....been in my humi a couple weeks I think so not long but I think the wrapper issues were due to the cold, I had to smoke outside....had some burn issues too...I let these sit for a couple months and smoke again in warmer I am sure then they will be fantastic...
Ok, guys, I hope this thread is busy today! I know you guys will be out smoking after your big dinners and I have to live through you guys since I'll be working! lol Keep me posted!
Had a Perdomo Habano Maduro last night. I was pleasantly surprised. Had a couple burn issues, but that could have been because I was sitting in a steaming hot tub and it was 40 degrees outside.
I was thinking of trying out an Avo XO, or maybe a Griffins Robusto today (been sick all week, and I want something mild) but with the wind conditions we are having today that is not looking likely.

Both fabulous cigars in my opinion, I'd go with the Griffin. Damm, wish I had one, that would be my Thanksgiving cigar.

Good to know. You don't hear that much about them. I don't even know that I've seen a review for the griffins.
