I started last night with a Graycliff Turbo Edicion Limitada. This cigar tasted really good however it exploded on my the second I lit it. Still tasted good despite that. My second cigar which I didn't finish was a Graycliff Avelino Lara 80th. I didn't finish it for a few reasons. The first was because dinner was being served. The second was because it wasn't my style. Reminded me of the Professional. Also, the cello was so tight I ended up messing up the wrapper.
After dinner my friend and I finally after almost a year lit up one of our remaining 2 HMRs. This one was light years better than the first we had. I'll stick to my original comment on them not being worth the money. Even though I didn't pay anywhere near MRSP it was still not worth it. It was though a lot better than the first. Burn was almost perfect and I felt that even though the Cognac wasn't as strong as I expected it to be it complimented the tobacco really well. We'll see what this last one ones when I finally decide to smoke it.
Kristoff Maduro. Definitely a one trick pony but I enjoyed the flavor and thought it went well with my coffee. I wasn't really able to concentrate on the stick anyway, I'm just psyched I got one in.
Sitting in the sun enjoying my first El Cobre. This is by far one of the best bundle cigars I've had.

Had a wonderful smoke this morning. Didn't know what I've been missing. Finally got to smoke a El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme. It's a corona extra in size. It was mild throughout. The great thing was that it was complex in flavor profile. Leather, honey, pepper and sweet in different spots that I couldn't detect what flavor. But it was good. Awesome I have to say and I had it with my cup of joe.
Had my first morning cigar today since the summer and chose a Perdomo Reserve 10th Champagne. I don't stock many mild cigars but today is a perfect example of why I do purchase a few.

been a while since I've had one, actually... been letting them rest. Had to fire one up this morning to remember if I still loved them.
Yep.

good start so far. I am a maduro fan, and this def has a lot of the stereotypical maddy characteristics.
This is correct, always smoke them with a Jamacian bean coffee black. My wife bought me some coffee back when she went there on a trip.
