Rocky Patel Olde Worlde Reservee… box pressed… maduro 6.5 x 48??? It was a promotional "add-on" bundle from a summer purchase. Cold enough outside that it wasn't the best smoking experience. Had to touch up around 3 inches in… burned okay for for another inch and canoed the rest of the way. Started out very very nice but a bit bitter at the end… abandoned before the nub due to mild frustration and lack of body heat.
good stick Carl!! Is that a spiced rum in the background ? How did it pair with that smoke ?
I really enjoyed the flavor of the smoke with the spiced rum. The wife got the rum from NOLA for a birthday gift, and it really paired well. I was very dissapointed with the construction of the cigar though. Wouldn't stay lit for 2 minutes and it had a soft spot in the middle almost felt hollow. I have a 5 pack, and the others feel alright. Hopefully it was just a bad stick since I did enjoy the flavor
had a couple last night while vherfing w/ Rick, Brett, and Curt (very fun as always). I pitched that quintero half way through. the PL monte carlo on the other hand is delicious. Must buy a box of those.
Arturo Fuentes Hemingway Best Seller.. I believe that if I had to smoke only one cigar for the rest of my life, the Hemingway would be it.
Haven't had a Hemingway in the humi for a while… great construction and flavor. I love the Perfecto shape and many brands really aren't very good at rolling them but, when done right, it's such an easy cigar to light with an even burn. I could see far worse options for a "desert island/if-you-could-only-have-one" cigar.
