I didn't actually get to the Heisenberg tonight, and the new Camacho Corojo Maduro is pretty bland, I don't think I've had the original so I don't know what it was like.
Finally pulled the Liga trigga tonight. Been staring at these for awhile now, but I was waiting for a special occasion. Finally made some progress on our home loan so I pulled one out!
Started with a Monte White with my wife and finished with an Oliva Serie O on V-herf. I felt back in the swing of things tonight and enjoyed them both.
This one was a pisser. I didn't notice before I clipped it and tried to light, but you can see cracks in the wrapper and that has to be one of the worst caps I've seen (you can't see it in the pic, but there was a valley across the top of it too): And then when I cut it the rest of the cap literally popped off and the wrapper unravelled to the band. It wasn't that I cut too far down, did it exactly the same as I always do but on this one the construction was crap. Just goes to show, even with the best of companies a bad one sneaks through every now and then. I was able to smoke it down to the band, but for what those cost...
How's the Molotov? I think I need to explore more Quesada, but they're not the most prevalent stick in my area. Selection is limited at the couple of BNM's I frequent. I really liked the Heisenberg.

I think they are tasty and a nice size, everything about it was good!
Tonight's offering brings out a wonderful Monte #2 Dominican (not lucky enough to have the real deal yet). This one is pretty good for a milder cigar and has a great aroma.
All the while still sitting on the back porch of the vacation condo. Life is pretty good at the moment.

Ouch! Do you think a punch would have been better or was the wrapper to bad to start?
