Whatcha smokin this morning?

Well, there is a foot of snow outside and it's 15 degrees, so I have to decide if I'm going to post up in the garage with the portable heater. If so, I'm thinking the El Triunfador Lancero original blend I just picked up.

Well it is a bit breezy here in California today, I am having a Graycliff Expresso with a cup of Kopi Sumatra siting on patio. Off for the holidays and making the best of it. Nice Choc,nuts and deep earth tones.

Man that sounds Good!!, Raining here in Texas and I have a cold.

JDN DC box press toro, its funny when you cant tell the difference between your breath and cigar smoke.

MOW Virtue. Been a while since I had one. Forgot that this wasn't your run of the mill Connie. Gonna have to get some more of these.

Smoked a calle ocho toro Connecticut paired it with some coffee

Had a Jameson's red label Connie this morning. Started out pretty mild but very creamy, picked up to a mild-med about halfway thru and stayed nice and creamy thru out .

Unfortunately, I'm not smoking anything this morning. I'm stuck working on christmas day until 6 pm, maybe I'll be able to get one in when I get home tonight. Merry Christmas everyone.

Ricky, how does that red label compare to the black label? I dug around and found you a black label toro with almost a year's rest...I'll get it out to you in the next week.

Oliva series G Maduro. It's been a while since I've had one, and this one just called my name today.

Just fired up my first Pueblo Dominicano. Only 3 puffs in, but I can say this cigar certainly has unique characteristics. I will report back later with a more solid opinion. Good start, though.

Update:

now approaching the 1hr 45min mark (with about a half inch of smoking left), and I gotta say, this baby has kept my attention the whole way. Not only is the burn, draw, and overall construction great, but this thing is crazy complex. Very good taste and flavor profile. Ever changing characteristic (all of which are unique, I might add!). But another thing that has really stood out to me is the mouth feel of the smoke... it is different than any other cigar I have ever smoked, and honestly, not even similar to any cigar I have ever smoked. I swear it's like you can actually feel the complexities swirling around in the smoke. It's very cool.

all in all, this is one of the most unique cigars I have ever had the pleasure of smoking. I am VERY glad I got a 10 pack of em, and based on the aging potential I see in them, I will prob grab another to put up for a while. I really enjoyed this one.




if you have been thinking about trying this blend, do it! I would love for someone with a super developed palate to review one of these for us... kuzi... Alex... throw us a bone, here. lol

I'm smoking my crappy corn cob pipe right now. I'm at work you know so my nice new one is safe at home... oh I so miss it.

AF 858 flor fina, cameroon much better with 4-6 months than oot IMO. Really enjoying this morning smoke. To me it's I bit sweet with hints of pear, gotten this flavor twice and I like it.

same thing as yesterday a calle ocho connecticut

Had my go to Sancho Panza. I really like these cheap bastards .They have a great peppery/spicy flavor and burn damn near perfectly.
