What areya smokin' today?

[roosterthomas-cl]

Right now a Padron 5k and then tonight it's the CAO Vision, if I can find it. I looked for the Vision a few minutes ago and couldn't find it so I settled for the Padron I found cowering in the corner of one of my coolers.

The Coronado took me about two and a half hours to get through. It started off spicy. A third of the way into it, it took on a lot of woody notes that transitioned into a sort of "scoth-barrel" taste. Overall, not a bad cigar, but I wouldn't put it into my regular rotation.

2 1/2 hours...wow. Nice amount of time to be able to kick back and just smoke. soungs like a nice big lincoln log. too bad it started to taste like one too

Don't worry alanf - if you missed something you can rest assurred that Ceedee knows the answer! I think that I am going to smoke the Cabaiguan today! Makes sense on a day like today for me.

Gator man, I had one of these the other day as well. I really liked it with some coffee! I think we were doing the video herf when I lit it up? Anyway, it was very smooth like you said and just a little sweet... Me likey!

2007/04/13 Friday:

Started the morning off with coffee and a Padron 2000. Quit my job at 1:00 and by 1:30 was smoking a RASS to celebrate the NEW job. <G> This evening I'm just getting ready to fire up a Fuente 858.

[Chango]

Was smoking an Onyx belicoso this evening, and just as I finished it, the Civil Defense sirens started going off. It was a bad weather evening here in the DFW area, with hail & possible tornados in the area...no problems where I live, but some of the area wasn't so lucky. The Onyx smoked kind of funny. Tight draw, didn't get very good smoke out of it, and the taste was a little bitter. Maybe the weather had it burning weird, and me smoking it a little fast.

Last night I smoked an H. Upmann Magnum No. 46. Although the construction and burn were good, this cigar just had no flavor other than acrid paper. I noticed a bit of woodiness about halfway in. I've got a full box of these, so I've decided to put these away for at least a year and see if they improve with some age.

Thats a real bummer. I had the same scenario with a RP Fusion. It was a great smoke with incredible construction and burn...it was just too mild for me.

Gonna be firing up a RP Edge Maduro later this afternoon.

[chrisguinther]

Last night I had to make up for that H. Upmann, so I had a Padron 5000 Maduro...lots of rich, tobacco flavors with hints of coffee and earth. It was definitely quite a change from the previous night.

2007/04/15 I'm going to fire up something Fuente this afternoon. Had a Por Larranaga Honduran this morning with coffee.

[Stogie]

I plan on picking up one of those La Gloria Cubana Serie R like Doc Stogie Fresh did his latest podcast on. I allready called the B&M and made sure they had the #6 in stock.

[mrgatorman]

Stog...youll like those boys. Enjoy
