Tonight I tried the Padilla Miami. While the batch I got was suspect (spitting foot and wrapper coming undone) the taste was exceptional. I prefer to believe based on what I've read that I got a bad lot and will return to this smooth, peppery smoke. I'm not a big spice fan preferring more cream in my smokes. This one seems to have a perfect balance. The ash was dark that to me indicates maybe a little too much moisture, but what a joy. An added benefit is the aroma which is sweet and savory. This is a nice smoke.
Just finished a Gurkha Empire V. Let it go earlier than I would have liked, but still a pretty good smoke regardless. Besides some burn issues at the end, my only knock on it was that it was kind of one-dimensional. Still a nice smoke for a nice evening though.

I love the Miami myself, and welcome to the forums, other extra-terrestrial type person!
Two fantastic cigars today: an Avo Heritage (thanks, Rick) which was outstanding and later on I broke in the new Nub Plus, courtesy of cigar.com. Had a nice relaxing afternoon lounging around, here I am popping the cherry on the box of Nub Plus.

Sweettttt, glad you like that Avo. It's becoming a regular for me. Enjoy your relaxation time, I know I will....
currently, i am smoking a Don Carlos #3 sent to me by Bandyt. thank you for keeping me in mind with this cigar and giving me the opportunity to revisit it. its a welcome treat.
about to fire up a Punch Gran Puro... it'll be my first... the Punch double madruo has prompted me to explore their line a little bit... picked up a gran puro and rare corojo from the B&M yesterday...
Today was an illusione 88... Followed by a cg:4. If you have not tried an illusione cigar, you must. Every one I have ever smoked has been fantastic. I love the way this cigar changes so many times in the flavor and strength profile. This one was no exception.

La Herencia de Cuba. Bought for me in Florida and I am a bit upset that this is the only one I have now. I didnt expect much going in but I am happy with this one.
Gran Habano Vintage. I really am amazed at the flavors in this stick for the price point. I'd still consider this an excellent stick at double/triple the price.

smoking a MJ 12 now, I'm on the fence with this one. Im not in love with it but it's good enough for me to give it another try at a later date.
