I enjoyed a Nub Cammy tonight while admiring my buddies RX7 with a 350 under the hood. I brought some sticks for them, but they stuck to cigs. Bummer.....
Started the vacation off with a Perdomo Habano Lot23 in the new Gordito size. This cigar tastes way different. Kinda of woodsy (everygreenish) with a pepper that builds in the end.
Hoyo Excalibur right now. An older one, before they changed to the gold on black field on the band. This one is gold on brown. Not sure exactly how old it is though.
I finally tried out the Oliva V. Great cigar. Flavor, burn, aroma, strength. Has it all. My faith is renewed in Oliva. This is the last blend of their line that I've tried, and only that I liked.
Padilla Obsidion... have to admit, I was scared as heck to take it out of the humi, since I have heard so much negativity towards this line...I have a couple that have been sitting for 3 months...I was actually pleasantly surprised...I had no construction/burn problems and enjoyed the flavors...

I was thinking of trying out the Oliva O (heard it was great for newbies like myself), but I thought I'd keep in the humidor for a bit longer. Ended up pulling out the La Herencia Cubana (Original).
At first, I tasted some pepper and some spices. A bit later, I tasted something a bit nutty, but tasty. Very late into the cigar, it kicked me with some earth and spice. I was a bit surprised at first, since I'm a new smoker, but it wasn't bad (maybe after my palate gets used to cigar flavors, I'll be more used to it). As for the burn, it was really lopsided for the first inch, but it evened out pretty quickly after.
Had a Gurkha Park Avenue, what will probably be my only cigar of the holiday weekend. Definitely worth it! Subtly complex for a Connecticut (and a Gurkha no less!). Great end to a great day with the little one.

Have you had a Master Blend 111 ? They rock.
Yep. Tried their entire line, save the Cains. Didn't like any of them. Good cigars, I would certainly recommend them to people who haven't tried them, but they're not my cup of tea. I want something that wows me, and nothing Oliva makes does that, except the V. Now to be fair, I've only tried one of the MB IIIs. It was the torpedo. I found the flavor too light and overall the cigar was pretty forgettable. I have one more resting that has six months on it. I will try that one out again sometime. Eventually.
nothing for me, the wife and I are working through mario galaxy 2 going back and forth. Kind of a quiet evening. Tomorrow though I want to get a stick or three in!

What are you loving these days Russ? Not the animals... the cigars

Sounds of a cracking whip can be heard in the background. teeheeeheeehee .
Padilla Miami that I got in trade from Tumbler. Going great so far. Since I'm on staycation it's been cigar weekend! Might try to slip in one of the GH 2002s before I call it a night.

Hmm. Let's see, currently it's the SP double maduro, Cuba Libre, Joya de nic Fuerte, ruination, SCCC, La gloria Cubana, and the RP Sungrown. Gonna add the V to that though. I've also been exploring Graycliff a bit, but they can be pricey, so that's more of a once in a while smoke. Hell, all my cigars are once in a whiles these days!
