    I am doing a Cuban No. 2 Trifecta today....started the day off with a Partagas Serie P No. 2, great stick...
    Diplo and Monte next?
    Heading out now for an Upmann No. 2...
    Nice, love the Upmann #2, favorite isom torpedo along with the Serie P. Speaking of torpedos, have you had the Vegas Robaina Unicos? And if so, what did you think of it?

    How are those?

    not too bad. nothing spectacular. a bit of spice through the nose. some coffee/cocoa... decent amount of leather. medium bodied. could have used a bit more age. i'll probably get a couple more and let them sit 6mos or so.

    and the stick is a log. it didnt have any give to it. i thought it was going to be unsmokable. draws a bit tight but not that bad. just thought that was odd.

    I have had 1, was good, nice flavour profile...not as potent as I expected but would certainly stock these, nice stick...

    Well I am about to be off for a couple of days so I'm hoping to be able to get a smoke or two in. Can't wait to try the smoke I picked up from the new boutique factory near my work. Hopefully I'll be lighting it up Tuesday evening with my buddy Nick. Also ready to fire up my La Aurora 107 corona. Been thinking about that cigar for over a week now.

    Decided to light another stogie up...Illusione CG4...not a bad cigar, gave me a slight "buzz" towards the end. Enjoyed it :)
    the newer CG4s and illusiones in general have been much better than the early release ones. i found those to be very inconsistent. i need to pick one up again. its been too long since ive visited that old friend.
    I tried a CG4 about a year ago at the Ohio Herf on the recommendation of Kuzi and Matt. I wasn't a big fan and Matt told me it was probably just a bad stick. Matt went into the humidor dug deep to the bottom of the box and gave me another stick to try again. That stick has been resting for almost a year. I hope that like what Kuzi posted here that it was just inconsistent and the one I have is much better. If I do not like this one maybe I will give a newer one another shot.

    A buddy of mine brought over two RyJ Reserva Reals on Saturday for the Big 12 Championship. It tasted so much better after OU kicked ass. I love it so much because I live in Omaha and get to rub it my buddies faces. Boomer Sooner!

    Hey dog. It seems like this one is becoming a regular with you. Makes me want to try the one you sent me to see what the fuss is all about.

    Stephen did you have coffee with the Nica Libre? I find that it really helps me get into the stick. As long as it's not Army sludge coffee.

    So every 6 months or so I do one of two things. I try out an infused stick, or a Gurkha. Today it was that time and I tried out a G5 Avenger. Not a bad stick actually. Reminded me of a less powerful, less flavorful Sancho Panza Double Maduro. I enjoyed it though. Burned really cool, and I could let it sit for 10 minutes or so and not have to relight. Good for reading. I didn't like it enough to buy more, but it wasn't bad.

    After that I had more firewood and more reading to do so I lit up a regular Man o War robusto. I always forget how much I like these. Damn fine cigar. I've got a couple five packs that are just now hitting the 1 year mark that are probably going to be opened in the near future.

    Last Night I finished the Gurkha Empire series 4-6. I really liked 4 thought it was great, 5 was good but a bit one dimensional, I really liked the 6th thought it was great.
    I think the only 2 in the whole series that are worth smoking again IMHO are 4 & 6.

    I'd give it another try, the one I had wasn't bad...price was a bit steep, but not bad!
