One of the more interesting sticks in my collection...Deseo Sombrio. Made by armando Ramos in 2004 it is NC Maduro with pre embargo filler that supposedly is 60-70%. The wrapper was aged 8 years in 2004. This is a glimpse of blending Cuban tobacco with others and has had time to marry. It has the flavor profile of a muted smooth diesel IMO, with the finish of a Cuban. Weird smoke
T.J.'s (the Perdomo Cirilollo) had a really nice draw (not sure if it's due to the punch instead of the cutters like we normally use) but he was not a fan. Mine, the 5 Vegas, was smooth but didn't have as nice of a draw. It also burned weird. Not a bad smoke - smooth and nice retro hit, but not my fave.
Padron 3000M. Strange because one side didn't want to burn. If all my other sticks didn't burn okay then i would question my humi. I still am a little just because of Padron's solid reputation for burn qualities. Oh well, it still tasted like a Padron!
My wife and daughter went down to Ocean City with the mother-in-law for the weekend so I've got the house to myself this evening. First up and almost finished is a La Palina Goldie. Man what a good smoke this is.
Last night I herfed at a cigar event with BigFnSteve, Stad and Bigshizza at a Studio Tobac Event. I started out with a Nica Libre Potencia and followed with a Cain maduro and finished with a CAO Mx2 great night.
Won 15 bucks on a lottery scratcher so I went and got a T-52. Should of went with an LP-9. The 52 is good but nowhere near the Liga 9. Cant say its even my favorite habano. Very delicious none the less.

that's a pretty solid line up!i heard the potencia will knock you on your a$$ and my buddy got a bit tipsy from the MX. I've never had a "big" mx but the daggers that come in a tin are pretty delicious
