Good smoke. I had a La Flor Dominican tonight. It was tasty, as usual.

Well I was initially thinking of another premium smoke Friday but I swung to the opposite pole. I smoked, thoroughly enjoyed, and nubbed a Lusitania Maduro Robusto tonight. Down to 4 of the buggers, have to order more!

Had to intention of a CAO and a Pardon but I am at work and we ahve been a bit busy today and it is about too late now.

Started off the day with an Onyx Vintage '97' Epicure.

After supper had a Breton Corojo Vintage robusto.

Am fixin' to spark a Vegas de Fonseca Sobrinos.

I had a Don Kiki green label and it was too mild. The red label wasn't too great, but the brown is great. I really like those Don Kiki browns.

I had a VR Famoso tonight, which I will post a review of later. But for the short version:

Played the biggest concert of my life tonight- packed our citiy's community center with around 700 crazy kids. It was glorious, I hurt all over from all of the energy exerted. A bunch of us went out... the whole night was loud. I knew I needed a stoge session before bed, so finally at about 3am I pulled out a DE Natural Clean Robusto, and I have to say... I LOVED this cigar. Though as far as a good smoke goes, the ISOM I smoked the other day wins... the fragrance and flavor of this Natural was just frikkin' lovely, sorta vanillaey without tasting too much like candy, it gave me a slight buzz, relaxed me so much and calmed me down. Definitley gonna want to be buying more of those.

Smoked a Partagas Black Bravo last night around 8:00 pm. Not a bad little 45 min smoke, slight chocolate and earth taste (grassey) I suppose you would say, doesn't live up to the hipe in my opinion. Smoked a Cusano Annv 10 this morning at 3:00 am during my route (part time job to pay for this habit, I mean hobby). Smooth smoke with creamy flavors, can't really put my finger on the taste, but it was smooth and no bitterness. rate this little Corona a 7 out of 10. IMHP there is no 10, as of yet.

i thought i was going to go a friday night without one, then at 11pm i got challenged to some online golf but a buddy across the country. damn wonderful modern technology.
anyway, i got up, made my way to the basement room, wife was already asleep, and had what turned out to be one of the best boli PC, and best smokes period, i have had in a long time. very creamy, and yummy.

Those Party Blacks really need to age IMO. I have had 2 that have had a lot of grassy flavor and 2 that have been darned good.

I really like the Cusano C10 line a lot.

Went with a Boli, too (CG) and some Port....perhaps too much

The Boli tasted great up until the last 5th when it started getting hot and bitter. Sadly it had some draw issues that didn't clear up until I had already smoked 1/3 of it.

Hope everyone had a good Friday night!

You like those Fonsecas alot, Mr. Hat? CA put that cigar on their top 25 and I just scratched my head, having only wanted to gag after every Fonseca I've torched. Maybe the batch I was buying from was bunk?

My wife named her little parakeet "Don Kiki." She bought a couple bundles of the green label to give out at my 35th birthday party (cuz she liked the name), and when trying to find an appropriate stogie brand to name her new bird after, Don Kiki won out over Cohiba.

I was pretty impressed with the one Don Kiki I tried, having expected to chuck it in the toilet after a puff or two. It smoked better than alot of 5 dollar sticks, I tell you.

I got a box from April 03' and yes they do have very thin wrappers! I've only smoked a couple though....trying to age them a bit. I've heard they are good for this. Have you had any problems with the foots splitting out on the ones you have?
