acclimate, smackulate- enjoy your bounty!

The Rodriguez was very different from the Taboada. A robusto size, the draw was a little for me, but the flavor was a nice changeup from the stronger Taboada. There was a nice spicy sweetness to it, somewhat like a Fundidore. (but of course, stronger)

It was a last minute thing, and you wouldn't have enjoyed it much (no Toscani's! )

This herf was Taboada bliss. His new stuff is flat out awesome, the tobacco he has to work with is much better than it's been in awile. The simple fact that he had three habano nuts grinning ear to ear over cigars only two weeks old says something. I'll throw some impressions out too:

Tabbie Sublime - mildest of the bunch. Starts out smooth and rich, develops some nice flavor flavor as you go down. Will def improve with age, if you can keep your hands off long enough.

Tabbie GM - Solid, unique flavor. Nice amount of spice, rich, earthy flavors. Very nice!

Tabbie DomP - awesome as always. Amazing how he keeps the blend so close to previous years. They were a bit stronger than last years DPs, but very similar, great taste. Will be a classic in a year.

Tabbie Super Rodolfo - Strong, but a bit milder than the first one I tried. Very rich, deep peppary flavor. Tremendous aging potencial methinks.

I couldn't get that stupid grin off my face on the drive home. I even woke up that way!
