Had my first Gran Habano Corojo #5 last night. I have to say I really liked it. The only issue I had was that I thought it was a little too moist for my tastes but other than that it was great. I followed that with a Don Pepin Garcia Vegas Cubanas. The burn was breat on this stick but I wasn't digging the flavor and with about 3 inches left I was getting an amonia taste. This was my first one of these also.
Saturday night I had a Hemingway Maduro Classic. This cigar was aged about two years. It tastes so much different with the maduro wrapper and is much stronger imho.
Just finished up a 5 Vegas Triple A, these are smoking so good right now it's ridiculous even in 23 degrees!
I've been impressed with how they've matured since being released. When the Diesel, LHC and 5 Vegas AAA were released, initially the AAA was my least favorite of the bunch but also the one I thought would be best with a year or more on them...so far it seems I pegged it right, really good smoke.
Cleaned out the garage today and had a Diesel Unlimited d.5. First few puffs were great, but after that, I didn't really enjoy it. Had a lot of burn issues, and just didn't have the flavor I was looking forward to. I love the d.6 and really wanted to like the d.5 since it feels better in my hand. I'll give the other one I have a little more rest in the humidor and see how that helps.
Had two cigars today. First one was a CAO Italia Ciao that I got from Jeff (Brotheradam) wich was great. Thanks for that Jeff. I got about halfway through it and started to wonder why I haven't tried it before.
After that I had some time and decided to give the Cain F another shot. I had a Torpedo that had 6 months to a year on it and it was a completely different smoke than the one I tried fresh last year. I really liked it this time and am going to have pick up some more the next time they're on special. Finally found an Oliva smoke other than the V that I actually like.
Started off earlier this afternoon with a Diesel Unlimited d.x really dig those, strong but smooth. Later was The Face from Tatuaje, good cigar but I don't like the fact that once they're gone that's it. Ate dinner and followed that up with a Man o War double corona. Currently about an inch into a La Traviata maduro toro courtesy of brotheradam...thanks Jeff, this is very nice.

Triple A is a great smoke. With a little rest they are just a real treat. Gotta have a full stomach for it though (at least I do!).

Followed that up with a MOW Virtue...excellent.
Nice. That's what I should have had today. Been craving a mild smoke lately to change things up.
Damn that is a good solid smoke, for me it never disappoints.
