Had an H.upman res. Maduro churchiill tonight. Very suprised at the quality of this smoke. Smooth, tons of flavor and a really long finish. Earned a regular spot in the rotation for sure.
Having my first ever CAO Italia the torp size. Pretty good. Im amazed to have a CAO with a perfect draw. Most every CAO Ive had it way too tight. especially the Brazilia. This cigar is also pairing nicely with this bomber of Stone Sublimely Self righteous.
Since I have basically worked a 36 hour shift, I am having a Cuba Libre One Churchill which came in the mail yesterday, but so far has worked out to an hour and a half smoke with about four inches to go. Its definitely not a bad cigar. The other 14 are going to rest for a bit.
I'm just now getting around to that La Aroma EE, but I'm loving every minute of it. Haven't had one in a while so I forgot how good it is. Paired with a glass of Ardbeg 10 Year. Great night relaxing at the lake!
Had an RP Edge Lite, what a shity cigar... started off ok then went to a metallic bitterness, then turned flavorless.
I tried one of these a long time ago. Didn't have much flavor at all, then turned bitter before the halfway point. Worst RP smoke I've ever had.
Thank you, that proves it's not just me I was in the first third and the thing tasted like a bag of copper. I am most certainly done with RP cigars.
+1 only one I liked was the sun grown and not even that much.
I like many RP cigars, but the Edge Lite is not on my list. The Edge Maduro is a great smoke and I'm a huge fan of the Old World in both wrappers. The original Decade was fantastic and I still love the Reiniscance.

They shouldn't have called it the Edge lite since it doesn't have much in common with the Edge. It makes more sense to me if I think of it as an RP Connecticut Fuerte. I've enjoyed them, but only after some rest/age. Like a year or two. They settle down a bit after that and a lot of the imbalance goes away, and it's a nutty, fuller connie, but even then it's not great. Certainly not good enough to waste precious humidor space on, but then I don't keep any RP cigars in my humidors anymore.
