    Well I was planning on having 4 or 5 good smokes on my days off, but got a slight stomach bug and didn't feel up to smoking that much, but on my first day I did get to try one of my Oliva Serie G robusto and was VERY impressed! Took about an hour and a half to smoke and had great flavors! I would say its a medium bodied but very flavorful. Also had a R&J Reserve Maduro and it was a good smoke too. Enjoyed the Oliva more, but the R&J was a good smoke. Would also say this was a medium body but produced a lot of smoke. Hopefully I'll make up for lost time next thursday at the Fuente event!

    I think you'll enjoy it, Phoebe. It seems to win over just about everybody who tries it. Which size did you get?
    robusto.. seems to be the size I am usually getting..

    I haven't had the robusto. Let us know what you think.

    I just finished the 2nd Bauza robusto that kas sent me a while back. For the first time, I had something besides water with my cigar: some Starbucks House Blend. I dunno if you drink coffee, kas, but it's a good combo. The sweetness of the Bauza works well with the spiciness in the coffee.

    Yes, I have had coffee with a cigar on a few occasions, but never with the Bauza. I shall give it a try, I am sure it will please.

    Smoking a La Riqueza tonight. This cigar delivers every time.

    I need to try one of those.

    I smoked an Oliva G Double Robusto this afternoon watching football. It was fantastic, first one I've had of that vitola. Hopefully I can get another stick in this evening.

    this morning I had an alec bradley tempus and I was a little disappointed with this cigar it was not bad but I think there is a lot better for the money. so after that I went to the broncos game and on the way home I smoked a Perdomo Habano Corojo and this cigar was very good a lot of spice full bodied and a great even burn.I plan on buying more of these in the future.

    I spent the evening watching my Dodgers while smoking a ginormous Montecristo Media Noche. Darn fine cigar. Cool and sweet, with some nice complexity. I haven't ever had the regular Monte, but the MN and the White I've had recently were both terrific.

    I just got home from a long night at the bar (working, not drinking, unfortunately) and settled down on the porch with a Don Carlos, courtesy of j0z3r. I hope I like it, 'cause I scored a box at auction earlier today.

    Ooooooo, color me jealous.
  • Tonight I caught up on some reading with a Tatuaje Series P. I was looking forward to it but it just ended up being a disapointment. I couldn't keep the wrapper burning even to save my life, and before it was even half-way done, the wrapper didn't even want to burn period. So I snuffed it out early and went inside where it was warm.

    Sorry to hear it, b. Burn issues suck.

    Amen. It's especially tortuous when the actual smoke is good, which in this case it was. It kind of throws the whole experience off.

    Sunday night I had a Lito Gomez Chisel. Has anyone else tried one of these? I think I may have found a new favorite. Lots of spice, construction was perfect, now the burn on it was off and had to keep doctoring it, but the flavor and strength of this cigar makes me want to try some more to see if it is consistent.

    I had my second La Herencia Cubana over the weekend while tailgating the soccer game. This one was amazing. A rich flavor, and quite a bit of spice for a medium-bodied cigar. These are a great smoke for their price point, and I think will be an everyday for me.

    Hmmmm

    I think I know what I will try now when I meet Litto Thursday night. Only 3 more days and that is the day that I finish finals for this term too. I can't wait.

    Sounds like a well timed celebration, Ron.

    I still haven't tried the one I got in the COTM. May have to break that bad boy out soon. I've been on a winning streak lately.

    Yeah, if you had that in mind, you might want to abort. Thanks for the thought, though.

    Smoking a Man O War Torpedo. This one was all hyped up, but IMHO I don't think that it delivered. I'm glad that I got it from someone instead of buying them.
  • urbinourbino Posts: 4,517
    I recently got a fiver of those as a free add-on to a ccom order. Here's hoping you just got a bum stogie, even if they were free.

    Love these cigars. Bought a box of robustos and got some churchills w a free sampler. Cbid has some great deals on them too.

    I have tried these in various sizes.. Torpedo, double corona, and corona, and found that in this one smaller was better. I was disappointed with the torp. double corona was okay, but very happy with the corona. I don't think I would invest in a box of these but may try them again someday. Personal taste here, as many enjoy the Man O War..

    It has a great smell, ok flavor, but major burn issues. I just think that there are much more out there at this price range that are better. Maybe they were rushed to the market.

    No, the one I had ,( and I feel bad about ripping on any cigar that others like so much) tastedso bad, it was one of the worst I have ever had. There is no way that stick fairly represented the Man o War line. That is why I had to try again. I think they are okay now, but not in my top tweny..

    Ccom cameroon...I'm going through the sampler and each is just better than the last. I'm amazed...I would say these are among the best lighting, best burning cigars I've had. None has had any issues. I've nubbed em all and they taste great. I'm getting a couple of boxes for everyday gars.

    I just picked up a Signature the other day and I'm letting it sit (impatiently) in my humidor for a while. I can't wait to try it out, as this will be my first Hemingway and I've heard alot of good things about them.
