    I picked a Don DIego Playboy. Not my first choice but I knew that I wouldn't be able to dedicate the needed time to smoking so I chose something that I didn't care if I finished or not. The cigar wasn't bad but not that strong. I think my palette is changing. I'm learning toward stronger cigars or maybe my taste is changing. The 858 I had on Friday wasn't as good. I used to love these.
    about time, lol. and yet you like opus X's....
    I didn't smoke anything, but I was thinking about it, I need to find people who enjoy smoking cigars as much as I do as close friends, It sucks. I do like the CAO america, I haven't had any other size than the landmark and robusto, and though I have them I have not smoked them, the gift or special 4 pack that has some very odd shapes, thanks to a fellow botl on here, sorry if I forgot who.... =(

    I have been wanting to crack open another gurkha royal salute or platinum though. I just can't seem to find the time to sit back and enjoy a cigar. Like I said before, I need to meet some local cigar smokers....
    I'm not a fan of the OpusX. Too strong for me! I have a few that have been aging since 2004 - 2005 so I may try again. Plus, I got some last year too. We'll see how they age.
    If you are looking to unload those let me know! lol I might be interested in buyin some off of ya!

    Possibly an SCCC 'A' if I get them on time. A Camacho Pre-Embargo definitely and maybe a Padilla Miami Lancero

    I got one in the Humi but havent smoked it yet, but my brother and father are coming up and i have 3 RP Decade Toros i've been holding onto for a while :)
    good choice, I've had a couple of Decades and I was very pleased. Hope you enjoy them!
    I had my first Decade over Father's day weekend (up at the lake which always makes the smokes and everything else better). I loved it! I will always have one in my humi from now on (when i find a deal).
    As for what I'm having over the fourth weekend: Going back up to the lake with the family. (I've got some really nice smokes lately.) I'll be up there for a few days. One of a La Aurora Preferidos (Red, Blue, Platinum), LFD Airbender Valiente, AB Tempus Miagistri, 262 Paradigm Torpedo, Maybe something Camacho, Man O' War, I dunno. I should think about this some more.

    My son graduates from the LA County Fire acadamy tomorrow, we'll be breaking into the super secret humi and burning up some Padron 64s, some Fuente Anejos, some Davidoffs and, a few cubes.

    On the 4th I will open up my humi and whatever speaks to me that I feel is premium and rested/aged enough I will fire up.
    Current top 2 choices are a Padron 1926 Maduro, Camacho PE.

    But if those two dont speak to me on the 4th then it may be:
    DGP My Father
    La Aurora 107 anos
    Illusione
    AB Tempus

    I got a few others Ive been circling around also.
    I could also go back to my old stand by Decade. I also have a couple 90 & 92's w 2+years on them, so those could get busted out also.... hmmmm.
    Talk to me humi, talk to me.
    I opened it up today and it said Dominus, I think it was fucking with me, damn humi!

    I'm thinking of dragging about half my Humi inventory along with me I do know Comacho PE is one definately a Centurion, Shaggy, not sure what else though, gonna have half a gallon of booze in me as well so I may just start chain smoking at one point... this would be the day for a box of Double Happiness' since I could just snip both ends and go to town.

    Thinking of smoking my First Draw Wrapper which has been resting for about a year. Tasty tasty
  • martymcg43martymcg43 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 396
    i'm thinking it should be something with a Connecticut shade wrapper in the morning... or after i get home from work at noon. because i work at 4am on the 4th... and some PA broadleaf in the evening... so i'll be smoking a gurkha beauty and clearly a diesel and a LHC oscuro fuerte...

    getting together with some friends for a bbq, been saving some CAO Sopranos for when we all got together and could enjoy a smoke together. gonna pass those out, hopefully they won't disappoint

    First, I was going to go for the CAO America, then I got some Camaco PEs, thought I'd fire one of those up!

    Then I decided, why decide? ;-

    CAO America on the 4th (Independence Day)

    Camacho Pre-Embargo on the 5th (Tynwald Day)!


    Sometimes the best decision is not to make a decision at all!

    I'm sure they won't, I'm actually trying to figure out what my morning smoke is gonna be right now, lol...decisions...decisions...

    I think I've decided on a Cask str 2 during the grilling. Nice long burning toro that tastes good. After dinner I'm going to have a Ruination robusto #1 along with this Ruination ipa Timb suggested.

    Just finished a La Herencia Oscuro Fuente

    It was ok. The best part was the middle, not a fan of the beginning and end of this smoke. No way I could have done this one in the heat of the day

    I had a Graycliff G2 Double Happiness while lighting fireworks, it was perfect for the occasion.
  • surfingzeekosurfingzeeko Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 628
    I had a 5 Vegas Miami. Really awesome cigar, hadn't had it before. DELICIOUS.
  • FourtotheflushFourtotheflush Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 2,555
    I was all set to head out with a camacho PE. But I fell asleep on the couch reading before I went out! Im not sure what Im going to fire up today.
  • KriegKrieg Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 5,068
    Well...it's about that time to dig up my old thread......so...what is it gonna be your 4th of July smoke this year?? Last year I did a CAO America...I've done that the last couple of years...but this year I am gonna smoke something different. Don't know what it is yet, but maybe I can get some good suggestions from my fellow BORKs.
