Today was a day off, so needless to say I smoked some cigars...and a Bacon wrapped pork loin. First up was a Diesel Unlimited d.7. Had a bowl of C&D Billy Budd a bit later. Next up was a PSD4. Had a Tat Black petit lancero after dinner. Now finishing the day off with a double shot of La For de Cano Selectos. Not a bad day, and the pork loin was fantastic.
Smoked 3 yesterday. First up was a Tatuaje Havana VI robusto (I think it's actually called a Nobles?). It was as expected. Average. Burn and draw were great but the flavor doesn't really wow me. Up after that was a RP Decade Torpedo after all the talk about them. This one had probably 2+ years of age. The Decade has some really nice flavors but they get harsh. This is what I remember about this cigar. All have been like this except the first one I ever had. Burn and Draw were still great but it gets harsh. Also, I had this tar taste at one point but there was no tar buildup whatsoever. To finish, I had a Partagas Maduro. I have had this one probably for about 2 years also. It was ok. Same great burn. The draw was a little tight but smokeable. My whole experience yesterday was just OK.

Had my first Tatuaje Havana VI last nigth also. And I have to totally agree with you...burn and draw were exceptional but was not blown away or even somewhat impressed with the flavors. I wont count this stick out its something that I may revisit at another time.
smoke 2 days ago a LA PERLA HABANA classic, now smoking LA PERLA HABANA MADURO classic, a little bit more earthy but alot more spicy, im just in the start so will see, like it so far.

I'd swear that big fat 6x60 Ruination wasn't as strong as the smaller 5.7x56 Belicoso's...and it had less spice and quite a bit more sweetness than the smaller ones.

any difference in the bands/wrappers, what size are the ones with the footbands?
This was one of the ones with the single band that has "Ruination" on it...the same as every other one I've smoked. I'm gonna let the ones with the foot band rest a while
