Had my first Siglo; great stick... really didn't expect it to be such a solid medium smoke for the price-point. Could also be because I smoked a Graycliff 1666 before that... I was warned, but I gave it a shake anyway. Gonna get more Siglo's that's for sure.
Now I'm having a Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet after a dinner of really spicy chili with crackers.
Opus X Fuente Fuente... one of the most under-appreciated sizes in the line I think. Corona Gordas in general are maybe my favorite vitola, just the perfect ratio of wrapper to filler to length for me, but in this case it is just superb. Has a few years age on it, and is right at that point where the strength has started to smooth out, and the raisin, cinnamon, leather, and apple pie flavors have married perfectly, and the spice on the finish is sweet and smooth, rather than the harshness it can have when they are too young. I think the adjective I am looking for is... sublime. Too bad the Opus X isn't available in the Sublimes vitola!
Not necessarily a celebratory cigar, but I am celebrating my NBA World Champion, Dallas Mavericks tonight!
You wouldn't happen to be in the Dallas area would you?
Right now I'm about 2/3 into a Padilla Miami robusto. Nice smoke with a glass OT Elijah Craig bourbon while looking up at the Texas sky from ky back patio!
Yes indeed. Not a native, but been in the area about 11-12 years.
That is awesome. We are actually planning a herf here in the Dallas area later this month. I live up in the Frisco area. I'm shooting you a PM.
Tonight I fired up a La Flor Dominicana Ligero and remembered why I love this cigar and this company so much! You pretty much can't beat LFD!

Just finishing a Black Dragon Presidente, awesome smoke.
I really need to just break down and buy a box. What a great smoke.
