Just finished a Morro Castle and I must say I am thoroughly unimpressed. The first third was very uneventful, even borderline bland. It did start to pick up a little around the 1/3-1/2 point, but even then it was just a mediocre stick. Totally forgettable.
Just had that march madness Padilla and thought it was really good.. Bang for buck ratio is through the roof as far as I'm concerned. Not my normal flavor profile (whatever that might be) but geeze.. Less than two bucks.. Insane.
Had a MoW Puro this afternoon, love that stick. Finished up with a Cain FF, holy sh*t that was one strong mother, even after a hearty meal it left me head reeling and my knees shaking. Deceptively smooth and quite tasty for as strong as it is. Not for the faint of heart, let me say that much...Wow.
Perdomo Habano Maduro. Pretty good, but having trouble keeping it lit even though my humi is couched around the upper 60's in rh and it has rested for a month.
Thinking of a Diesel Unlimited d7, but damn, are these things ever huge - I can never seem to nub these before the nicotine hits me like a sack of bricks
ENFIDL was telling me he cuts the d7 in half so they don't take forever and they are great that way. Just a thought.
Not a bad idea; I'll give it a try
This is true. I absolutely love the d7 cut in half. It's like having a diesel unlimited nub. It's fantastic
Last night was a good 2 smoke night for me! Started out with a 5 Vegas Cask Strength II with a glass of Ardbeg after a big dinner of corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes! Capped off the night with an El Triunfador lancero original blend that I've had for a year and 5 months. Those have done nothing but get better with time!

Man Puro, I think you are right about our similar palates. Both of those are favorites of mine. I need to grab a CSII sometime, I haven't smoked one of them in ages.

That was actually my first CSII and I have to thank our BOTL GarenB for that one! He gave it to me the last night he was here in Dallas and I finally fired it up. Probably my 2nd favorite 5 Vegas cigar behind the 2006 Limitada! And the Triunfador is one of my all time favorites!

mmmm 2006 limitada....
only have two of those left...
I just acquired 6 in a trade deal, then gave two of them to a friend of mine, so I have 4 left in my aging humidor. By far the best of the Limitadas I've tried.

Yeah, my stock is getting mighty low on those too.
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959, pretty good stick, great flavors but a little tight. Overall one of the better smokes I have had lately. Went nicely with a Dalwhinnie 15 year single malt
Last night I had my first MY Father Le Bijou 1922. All I can say is, I wish I had room for a box...
Wish I had $$ for a box. Probably my favorite of all time. That Pelo de oro oscuro wrapper is heavenly. Though I have a hard time keeping those lit. Espeially the churchill. Had one on Sunday just about cried when I was done lol.
Graycliff - crystal edition, or something like that. not a bad cigar, but not that good; kind of a "meh" cigar. Not great, but not bad - just a generally good cigar that didn't really impress me much
I am going to have a Indian Tabac classic (Arrowhead) on the slow ride home tonight. Right now they are my "holy crap I just want to relax" smoke. They are very simple and mild with a traditional feel I think is great.
Cu-Avana Intenso. I'm not sure what they call their sizes, but this one is at least a bellicoso. I've been smoking it for 90 minutes, and it's got at least another 30 to go.
Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 Churchill. This was a very long smoke. Had it almost the whole night. Took 2 hour and 10 minutes to smoke. I put this thing down a couple of times for at least 5 to 10 minutes at a time and it didn't go out.
