I love the Man o War. Actaully i'm out and need to get some more. I just finished up the day with an Oliva G Cameroon. It hit the spot and along with the Maduro is one of my mainstay smokes. I've had a massive influx of smokes in the past week or so and all the rest are chillin for 3 weeks.
I am smoking a Bahia Blue. It started out OK but I started to get a sour taste. I think I got this in a sampler somewhere but am not sure. Needless to say, I probably won't buying any on my own.
H. Upmann this evening -nit sure of size-it was very old-nothin'to write home about till about a 3rd thru - then the flavor picked up-cedary,peat,woodsy flavor,all in all good.
ITC Tenth anny, another cigar I got in the pass. Man that was good. Perfect burn, draw was right on. I recommend this cigar to anyone that likes full flavored cigars.
It is a good smoke, now I know RP changed the anny to the decade and don't get me wrong the Decade is a very good cigar worthy of ultra premium brand. Now the ITC has what teh Decade doesn't have the pepper that I don't know what fuller flavor I guess. I should note about my rambling I have not slept in 24 hrs and I have been drinking so I may not make too much sense, but I know the ITC is a damn good cigar because I was sober when I smoked it and I remember it when I am drunk. That should count for something. Disclamer I am at home and do not plan on driving.
Today I had a good old stand-by, a La Aurora 1495 cameroon 1994, always a nice cigar. I had taken a stab at a Gurkha Triple Ligero a bit earlier, I got the worst metallic taste on my palate, like sucking on a penny, and threw it away promptly...the taste just stuck there, even through the La Aurora I could still taste it...blech!

Not a fan of the gurkhas's, except the Legend Perfecto now that does have a good flavor. I have not had the La Aurora. Have you had the barrel aged, I have seen some good reviews but not from anyone I trust.

Sucking on a penny .... thats painting a nasty palate picture there Joe....that actually gave me a shiver....damn
Tonight was a 5 Vegas A. Very good smoke. It started medium body and finished up medium-full. Touch of leather, touch of cedar, just a tad bit of spice and great smooth flavor. In my opinion pretty well balanced.
Gents, I'm new to this site, though I've read some of your posts with interest. I've been smoking cigars for about 2 years. I know what I like but I can't tell you why.
Tonight I had an El Centurion Guerrero. Nice cigar, but not packed with quite the punch I expected. Great burn and a generally nice taste, but not as spicy as other Pepins I've smoked. I have the other sizes in the humidor, and hopefully they will be stronger.
Last night I had a Camacho Havana(I believe thats it right? light greenish wrapper?) robusto. I'm really beginning to like these guys. Not exactly flavor packed but a good solid smoke all the way through. Again with a glass or 3 of Bob Red.
I am smoking a Graycliff 1666 churchill today. Been aging for months. Just started to get good when I had to put it down. Can't wait for lunch to go do some puff puff.

That doesn't sound like the Havana, maddy. It's pretty much dark brown.

dep: I have had the Barrel Aged, it is a good smoke, though I felt it could use some additional rest. I'd recommend it though.
Thanks for the recommendation I will pick some up and try.

I look forward to joining you bo9ys on occasion.

I figured since this seems to be the most popular thread and I had a cigar tonight, I mught as well jump in with both feet.
