Just got done with a Gurkha Fuerte churchill. I was pretty dissapointed with this cigar. It didn't deliver at all in the flavor deparment, very uneventful and almost bland. And I was expecing it to be at least as strong as the Regent, but it was nowhere near that powerful. It actually reminded me alot of the CAO VR, which I didn't really care for either. On top of all that, it burned uneven and required a corrective light about halfway through and then got hot with almost two inches left. Definately won't be buying any more of these, I had such high hopes for it too.

over half way in to my Oliva V Maduro right now, if it gets any tastier Ill have to eat the rest
-
Had a la aurora barrel aged. Lots of sweet oak flavor, a bit of consistent spice and a nice light corojo flavor as well. Pretty good smoke. Go fo this one if you want an abundance of natural sweetness.
-
Sounds like I would really dig those. I will have to pick up a 5-er next time I place an order, or see if the local B&M back home has any.

Just got done with a Rocky Patel Vinage 1999 connecticut. Awesome smoke, excellent flavor for such a mild stick. Definately my favorite mild bodied smoke now.
-
Just finished a Gurkha Fuerte...man it was delicious with a chocolate finish. It has such a great pre-light smell to it.
-
Maybe I had a bad one, I swear the one I smoked today was damn near flavorless.
-
Had a Fuente Sungrown tonight while taking the dogs on their nightly walk.

just finished A Fuente anejo--kid that talked me into buying said it was OPus X with a different wrapper, is this true?

from what i've read its supposed to be a combination of the hemingway, opus x and don carlos tobacco with a 5 year old conny maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel - have you smoked it yet and what did you think? the #77 "shark" is probably my favorite cigar right now

Kuzi or someone may be able to confirm if this is indeed the combo of fillers

I don't think anyone really knows except for the Fuentes. The filler recipe is a well kept secret.gmill880:gmill880:mustluvcigars:just finished A Fuente anejo--kid that talked me into buying said it was OPus X with a different wrapper, is this true?from what i've read its supposed to be a combination of the hemingway, opus x and don carlos tobacco with a 5 year old conny maduro wrapper aged in a cognac barrel - have you smoked it yet and what did you think? the #77 "shark" is probably my favorite cigar right now

Which, correct me if I'm wrong Joe, but I thing the Opus, Hemingway and Don Carlos are all secret blends, like you said , only the Fuentes know for sure.

No correction, as far as I know you are right.gmill880:j0z3r:

I've smoked a couple of the Fuertes, alien, and found them quite tasty. It might be worth your while to try another one, sometime.alienmisprint:Maybe I had a bad one, I swear the one I smoked today was damn near flavorless. -
I have one sitting at my house waiting on me now. I smoked a Churchill yesterday, maybe that had something to do with it being so bland? The one I have at home is a torpedo, maybe it will be better. I will give it another shot though.urbino:

On another note, I just finished a Legends Orange Label (Rocky Patel). This was my first Corojo wrapper, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The flavor was excellent, medium bodied, very smooth. All in all, it was a great morning smoke. I did have to give it two corrective lights, but other than that no complains. This was my fourth Rocky Patel blend in two days, and out of the four, I have really liked 3 of them. I see a trend starting..... -
The ones I've smoked were churchills.
-
camacho diploma.
this is the first diploma i have had of the new blend.
I like the old blend better. its still good but not as good as the old. -
Oliva V Special V, very good, Torpedo was better IMO
-
Had a Famous Nic Maduro Torpedo yesterday - good cigar for a bundle!

Welcome Scott

Had a 5 Vegas A tonight, it was okay not really great or anything.
-

Had a frustrating day at work, 12 hours, no breaks, got home exhausted. Wasn't even going to light up but then decided on a La Aurora 1495. What great therapy. A perfect smoke.
-
I had one of my beloved Perdomo ESV '91 seconds tonight. As much as I tout these as being issue free, this one introduced a bit of a sluggish burn, not sluggish the whole way round mind you, but at random parts mainly after an ash dropping. The awesome taste is worth a couple corrections though, especially since these are the first corrections needed in all the ones I've burned through. Still a very nice smoke at a very, very nice price.
-
I had my first Padilla Miami tonight. It started off reminding me of the Habano - pretty spicey, but it abruptly changed to a nutty, woody, leather flavor. I was really liking this cigar about 1/2 the way in, and then it became a little too cigar lite, but it finished up nice. Need to try this again.
-
Well, I was just about to go out and have a Padilla 1968 torpedo, but it's hailing, now. Maybe I'll pass.
