I'm halfway through, ash just fell off. Perfect construction, razor sharp burn and lots of smoke. Definitely got the pepper at the beginning and the flavor has changed now. I'm not that experienced yet to pick out flavors very well but it's nice.
Started a Partagas Culebra after I got home from work. I loved the first third so much, I lit up a second right after. I loved that one so much that I took a dinner break and smoked the last third with some Montecristo 12 year rum. The cigar was great, all three parts, and the rum was quite nice too. My thanks to bandyt09 for the rum.
601 Red robusto. It was okay; nothing special. It seemed to have a very short finish.
Thats weird Ive always found those to be pretty complex with a lingering sweetness on the finish. Actually was my go to for a long time till I got tired of em finally.
Deisel UHC tonight.To me these are so much better with time on them. This has had a good long rest and flavor is very nice. only problem is the draw is so loose seems like the roller forgot half the filler leaves.
Oliva Serie V paired with Pliny the Elder by Russian River Brewing Co.
mmm Pliny, had it once in Denver, despite the hype it didnt disapoint. If you ever see it try Odells Myrcenary x2 IPA. Not quite on Plinys level but darn close imo.

Padilla Dominus Toro
Only rested 40 days (I got impatient) - been waiting to try one
Wonderful smoke, rivals the Black Bear, lasted forever, nice flavor profile, a new favorite
Solid B+ (88 points)
Gonna let my others rest a while
I definitely picked up the pepper and spices at the beginning then like an aged barrel kind of woody flavor with the hints of cinnamon. I was trying to pick up the citrus / orange flavor like most of the reviews have said but honestly couldn't pick it out. It was probably me as I'm still trying to work on developing my palate, plus I was drinking Miller Chill Beer which has a citrus flavor (dont crucify me, I was hot and it looked refreshing) and had two shots of 1800 Anejo tequila. It was a very nice smoke. Next time I get up there I'll probably pick up a box. If your interested I can send you a couple.
Today was a 601 Blue Box Pressed Maduro. Very nice cigar. At first I thought the draw was a bit tight, but then realized the full bodied nature of this stick made it work out well. Great flavors and quality construction made this one I will certainly smoke again.
This afternoon was a Partagas Serie D #4. Currently smoking a Partagas Lusitania. Yesterday and today have been Partagas days and I'm about as happy as can be with that.
Trying to decide what to smoke after i get off work in the morning. Finishing up day 6 and then I get one off before 7 straight so it'll probably be a 2 or 3 cigar day more than likely
Hoyo de Monterey Ltd 2007 with my brother this afternoon and tonight the wife (married just 2 weeks ago) had a Mr. B Magnun and I enjoyed a Cohiba Siglo IV. Nice day!

But I've just smoked a Nestor Reserve Maduro with 3 years on it.
The original bundle I got was plugged and not smoking well.... after the initial light this guy is smooth as a baby's butt...
Nice smoke.
