    Park Ave maddy. Started great, but was frought with burn issues by the 2nd third and never got itself together (despite my desperate attempts lol). Shame, it started out very nice!

    Today's line up: 0530- Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus Silver, 0800-Jdn Fuerte Series B, 1130- Cu-Avana Intenso Gordo, 1600- Perdomo Habano, 2000- AJ Fresh Rolled ROTT. Very good variety today!
    how was the Fresh rolled AJ?
    It is not going to blow anyone away but it is a decent everyday stick. I put my thoughts in the thread currently going on it

    Perdomo Maduro Tenth Anniversary Robusto and A Cuba Libre Brute, both good solid smokes. I'd recommend these to anyone.

    Band. Heh. Now I'm curious about the unbanded. Are the Banded ones still in production? I could definitely see a cab purchase, or split in the future.

    As far as I know, the banded ones are newer production, I don't know if they're making more or if they're done.

    Had a My Father last night, had my first 5 Vegas Limitada 2010 tonight. I was a bit disappointed with the My Father, but I'm pretty sure it was just a bad stick. I was thoroughly impressed by the Limitada, I will always be keeping them in my humidor, if I can.

    The My Father really needs some time to shine, I'd recommend no less than 12 months, and more in the neighborhood of 24-30+ months. Recently I smoked one that had right around 2 years and it was fantastic, smooth, complex and just bursting with flavor. Your patience will be rewarded.

    I appreciate the suggestion, I'll have to get some more and set them aside for a good while. Its hard to imagine aging something for 2 years, since I haven't even been smoking for two years! Do you feel the same aging is needed for the Le Bijou?

    I haven't had the experience with the Le Bijou to say how much time it needs, but I do feel it needs at least a year. That's my opinion though, I can't really say if you would agree. I will say that in general DPG cigars tend to do well with time, so you can't really go wrong aging any of his blends.

    Any advice is good advice. My palate has advanced far faster than my knowledge of the industry or of cigars. I can pick out every little nuance, but I don't know the first thing about why they're in that particular cigar. Speaking of which, I think I'm going to cap the night off with a Prensado. :)
