    I picked a Don DIego Playboy. Not my first choice but I knew that I wouldn't be able to dedicate the needed time to smoking so I chose something that I didn't care if I finished or not. The cigar wasn't bad but not that strong. I think my palette is changing. I'm learning toward stronger cigars or maybe my taste is changing. The 858 I had on Friday wasn't as good. I used to love these.
    about time, lol. and yet you like opus X's....
    I didn't smoke anything, but I was thinking about it, I need to find people who enjoy smoking cigars as much as I do as close friends, It sucks. I do like the CAO america, I haven't had any other size than the landmark and robusto, and though I have them I have not smoked them, the gift or special 4 pack that has some very odd shapes, thanks to a fellow botl on here, sorry if I forgot who.... =(

    I have been wanting to crack open another gurkha royal salute or platinum though. I just can't seem to find the time to sit back and enjoy a cigar. Like I said before, I need to meet some local cigar smokers....
    I'm not a fan of the OpusX. Too strong for me! I have a few that have been aging since 2004 - 2005 so I may try again. Plus, I got some last year too. We'll see how they age.
    If you are looking to unload those let me know! lol I might be interested in buyin some off of ya!

    I thought I'd resurrect my old thread...so what's it gonna be for you guys?? I plan on smoking a few actually. God of Fire, AB Tempus Centuria, and CAO America!

    Possibly an SCCC 'A' if I get them on time. A Camacho Pre-Embargo definitely and maybe a Padilla Miami Lancero

    I got one in the Humi but havent smoked it yet, but my brother and father are coming up and i have 3 RP Decade Toros i've been holding onto for a while :)
    good choice, I've had a couple of Decades and I was very pleased. Hope you enjoy them!
    I had my first Decade over Father's day weekend (up at the lake which always makes the smokes and everything else better). I loved it! I will always have one in my humi from now on (when i find a deal).
    As for what I'm having over the fourth weekend: Going back up to the lake with the family. (I've got some really nice smokes lately.) I'll be up there for a few days. One of a La Aurora Preferidos (Red, Blue, Platinum), LFD Airbender Valiente, AB Tempus Miagistri, 262 Paradigm Torpedo, Maybe something Camacho, Man O' War, I dunno. I should think about this some more.

    Those AB Magistri's are greatl looking cigars, I smoked one back before Xmas and thought it was a great smoke. If you try one, let me know what u think.

    My son graduates from the LA County Fire acadamy tomorrow, we'll be breaking into the super secret humi and burning up some Padron 64s, some Fuente Anejos, some Davidoffs and, a few cubes.
    I was going to say, maybe it's time I quit drinking and smoking, tear down all the Vargas girl posters and straighten out my life. But I won't.....

    I'm gonna cap off this year's greasy burger fest with an Oliva Serie V Churchill Extra.

    On the 4th I will open up my humi and whatever speaks to me that I feel is premium and rested/aged enough I will fire up.
    Current top 2 choices are a Padron 1926 Maduro, Camacho PE.

    But if those two dont speak to me on the 4th then it may be:
    DGP My Father
    La Aurora 107 anos
    Illusione
    AB Tempus

    I got a few others Ive been circling around also.
    I could also go back to my old stand by Decade. I also have a couple 90 & 92's w 2+years on them, so those could get busted out also.... hmmmm.
    Talk to me humi, talk to me.
    I opened it up today and it said Dominus, I think it was **** with me, damn humi!

    I'm thinking of dragging about half my Humi inventory along with me I do know Comacho PE is one definately a Centurion, Shaggy, not sure what else though, gonna have half a gallon of booze in me as well so I may just start chain smoking at one point... this would be the day for a box of Double Happiness' since I could just snip both ends and go to town.
  • Thinking of smoking my First Draw Wrapper which has been resting for about a year. Tasty tasty
  • martymcg43martymcg43 Posts: 396
    i'm thinking it should be something with a Connecticut shade wrapper in the morning... or after i get home from work at noon. because i work at 4am on the 4th... and some PA broadleaf in the evening... so i'll be smoking a gurkha beauty and clearly a diesel and a LHC oscuro fuerte...
  • i just purchased one yesterday. it looks delish....i cant wait to light it up after the bbq and before the fireworks...cant wait

    getting together with some friends for a bbq, been saving some CAO Sopranos for when we all got together and could enjoy a smoke together. gonna pass those out, hopefully they won't disappoint
  • MrMokeMrMoke Posts: 321 ✭✭
    First, I was going to go for the CAO America, then I got some Camaco PEs, thought I'd fire one of those up!

    Then I decided, why decide? ;-

    CAO America on the 4th (Independence Day)

    Camacho Pre-Embargo on the 5th (Tynwald Day)!


    Sometimes the best decision is not to make a decision at all!

    I think I've decided on a Cask str 2 during the grilling. Nice long burning toro that tastes good. After dinner I'm going to have a Ruination robusto #1 along with this Ruination ipa Timb suggested.

    Just finished a La Herencia Oscuro Fuente

    It was ok. The best part was the middle, not a fan of the beginning and end of this smoke. No way I could have done this one in the heat of the day

    I had a Graycliff G2 Double Happiness while lighting fireworks, it was perfect for the occasion.
  • surfingzeekosurfingzeeko Posts: 628
    I had a 5 Vegas Miami. Really awesome cigar, hadn't had it before. DELICIOUS.
  • FourtotheflushFourtotheflush Posts: 2,555
    I was all set to head out with a camacho PE. But I fell asleep on the couch reading before I went out! Im not sure what Im going to fire up today.
  • KriegKrieg Posts: 5,188 ✭✭✭
    Well...it's about that time to dig up my old thread......so...what is it gonna be your 4th of July smoke this year?? Last year I did a CAO America...I've done that the last couple of years...but this year I am gonna smoke something different. Don't know what it is yet, but maybe I can get some good suggestions from my fellow BORKs.
