What do you think of this one? I've been really looking forward to trying it! Hopefully it lives up to my expectations....
I like it better than the other size I've had, but still not my favorite cigar by any means. I'll have to leave the other one for a long long time before I light it up.
Ok, the cigar got much better after the first inch or so. I enjoyed it much more than the larger sizes. There are many other cigars I'd pick ahead of the Ruination personally, but I won't avoid it. I'll still let the other one rest a year or two and see what I think about it then.
La Aurora 107 lancero. Great burn great draw great complex flavors can't ask for anything else from a cigar.
where does one find said lancero? Ccom only sells 3 sizes :-(
Ccom does sell the lancero, just have to email/call. Tim hooked me up with a very nice 107 sampler, 2 each of the robusto, toro, belicoso, and lancero for a really good price.
Today was a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet #4 with about 2.5 years on it, 5 Vegas Limitada '05, Partagas 150 corona gorda, MoW Puro, Casa Magna colorado toro. Also got some pipe action in with some Davidoff Flake Medallions and G.L. Pease Charing Cross, the Davidoff is good the Charing Cross is excellent. I think I'm done in.
Jesus Christ! That's a lot of smokes plus a Limitada 05? Damn u, I'm jealous.
I've had a bunch in the last couple of days. Don't remember all of them though. I had a CX2 the other night. The burn and draw were perfect. Come to think of it, every CX2 I have had has had a great burn. It was as even as it gets. I think I have had this one for about 2 years. As much as I like the Cameroon this cigar doesn't wow me though. There are some highlights but in the end I think it is just an average stick. It was nicely packed and firm as hell.
Yesterday I had a AB Tempus Torpedo that I have had probably a good 2 years. This one smoked from before 3 to around 5:30. Don't know why it smoked so long. It wasn't a bad cigar but this would be the second I had with the first being rott. It did have some burn issues and did go out a couple of times. I think I have a few more and will let them age longer. Maybe another year for one.
Had my first Camacho PE last night. I had quite a few construction issues, but I knew they were there going in to it, and I smoked it anyway, but the flavor was very enjoyable. I have two more that I'm going to let sit for a little longer.
Padilla 1948 LE, pretty nice for a $2 stick, I'm a big fan of the regular 1948 and this one is similar while adding a little something extra with the addition of, I believe, a different grade habano wrapper, toasty, woodsy, a bit of leather and overall a nice medium, anytime of day stick. Finished up with a Zino Z-Class belicoso, don't recall the exact dimensions, but it was something like 5 x46 or so, very Zino-esque flavor profile and deceptively strong, I quite enjoyed that one and would recommend it to Avo/Zino fans.

Awesome to hear something about the new Z-Class. I'm looking forward to trying one soon!
My Dark Corojo tonight had great flavor, but I had the hardest damn time keeping it lit. Damn wrapper kept needing to be re-lit. Great smoke but was too much work. First time I've had a problem with these...
Good smoke session today: started out with a Padilla Single Batch torp (thx Joe), then enjoyed a well-rested El Triunfador No. 4 then finishing out with an Oliva Serie G Cameroon (pyramid? had a nippled foot).
