mbrody Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Enjoyed an 06 SLR A. A very poised smoke. Chenman, when those Mag50's are on, they are spectacular. Have a fantastic smelling box resting now...
ChanceSchmerr Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 I smoked a Monte Especial, my first, a single to try after a positive video review a while back. This cigar was kinda plugged, I massaged it enough to get it drawing, and when I did it was it was a good, tasty smoke, with that characteristic Monte bean flavour. Added to my "get a box" list!
Jesuscookies Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Had a Partagas D4 for an after breakfast smoke, was a treat. Took a relaxing dip in the Jacuzzi this evening and enjoyed a punch petite punch. Both very nice cigars.
samb Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 A nice little Parti MF at work with crap coffee concentrate.
daboose Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Enjoyed a Monte PE today The other day I did my best to enjoy a PL Pantela. I loved the aroma and flavor but this little bugger was the tightest thing I've ever come across. But I didn't let that discourage me, I performed major surgery along the way with my trusty draw tool.
brutusthebuckeye Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Dip 4(09er) while picking up dog poo...nice cigar...it paired well with the waft of poo!!!!
bassman Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 97 SLR Serie A & 07 BCJ. The BCJ lasted almost 50 minutes. That's a slow burning TPC.
El Presidente Posted March 16, 2010 Author Posted March 16, 2010 Another mid 08 Cohiba Esplendido. Solid 94. These have just been like the video review of same. Whatever you do..... get some.
Bartolomeo Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 RASCC with Yogi today at lunch, 1970 Boli PC tonight Bart™
thechenman Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Tonight I smoked a Cohiba Maduro 5 Magico. Not a fan.
dicko Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Tonight I smoked a Cohiba Maduro 5 Magico. Not a fan. is the rest of the cohiba maduro line good? I'm interested to try...
dicko Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Bolivar Royal Corona (lre july 09). didn't really like it. 1st third had those nice boli flavours (i love the PC's and the 2 bbf i tried) but the rest was rough. probably too young. it was from a tubed 10x box
thechenman Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 is the rest of the cohiba maduro line good? I'm interested to try... The Magico was my first, I may give it another try. Overall, I can't say I've been impressed my the Maduro 5 line. Would take a Siglo 1 over a Secreto any day. Of the three in the group, the Genios are the best in my opinion, but I would gladly take a CoRo over it.

jsaunders9 Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 Bolivar PC from an 07 box. Only been in my humi since xmas but it was deeeeeelicious start to finish.
thechenman Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Tonight I smoked a Montecristo No. 1. Started with a very tight draw and very little smoke. The draw opened up about half way. The burn was razor sharp throughout the smoke, but the flavors while traditional Monte, were extremely light. Just was not satisfying...
SandmanTR Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Had a chance to experience my first Trinidad Robusto T. JUN 09. Man. What an amazing smoke. Perfect burn and I really dig on the flavors.
Stalebread Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Yesterday afternoon, a Ramon Allones CF. Much better now than the first one out of the box several months ago.
bassman Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 05 Punch Robusto RE. What a difference 5 years makes. Practically devoid of flavor when new, these have transformed into tasty medium bodied smokes. As for Cohiba Maduro- Tried Secretos & Genios. Don't taste like Cohiba to me. Would not buy them.
khomeinist Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Smoking a Hoyo baby robusto. Fairly boring. Would rather be smoking a corona gauge. I like the Genios and Secretos Cohibas quite a bit. That being said, I like maduro cigars in general. The size of the Magicos is not for me. Would have preferred a dahlia Siglo 5 shape as the third representative of the line.
patham Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Had a bastard of a day at work so I'm treating myself to a 98 Punch DC tonight. My day from Hell doesn't seem nearly so bad now.
thechenman Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Wanted a CC yesterday. It was chaotic in Manhattan with all the St. Paddy's Day hoopla going on. Wasn't going to be home until 1am so had to hop into a B&M for a NC. Smoked an Illusione hl (Holy Lance). Really trying to figure out what the deal is with this line. Not impressive at all and have smoked several different vitolas. Also purchased an Opus X Lost City Lancero...only to later find out that Fuente rolled these in honor of Andy Garcia, but they don't actually contain any tobacco from the crop that was grown for the movie. Apparently it is the normal Opus X filler, binder and wrapper, just rolled into a lancero which is not normally part of the Opus X line. Supposedly they were misbanded.
Stalebread Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 This afternoon -- a Partagas Serie du Connoisseur #2. Here's to you, Tampa. Thanks.
laficion Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 This afternoon -- a Partagas Serie du Connoisseur #2.Here's to you, Tampa. Thanks. Great Idea Ken, I've just fired up my 2009 ER Especiales No. 2 Germany this afternoon in honor of Tampa. Blowing my smoke up to you Chuck, Ciao.
