Friday Night Stogie

[Jason Love III]

I smoked a Maria Guerrero corona gorda - Really really nice mild bodied sweet cigar for how fat it was. Also smoked a Torano gold label robusto. Man these Toranos are nice. They seem to have that nice sweet, spice orange twang to them. Also have had a few Bud Lights. Man what a nice Friday night....

Never tried the Don Kiki - will look for your comments on the cigar - tonight is a Butera night - light, but flavorful

Tonight was the petit Opus X at my shop where they go for MSRP, and I followed it with a Short Story. Both went well with my room temp young's double choclate stout.

IMHO, the ony way to drink a stout is at room temp.

What are yalls opinions?

I agree that a stout should be around room temp - maybe a touch cooler but never cold. I absolutely hate it when I order a Murphy's and it is cold. Makes me mad as hell - many times I will order another beer to hold me over while my Murphy's gets up to temp. One of the great things about Europe is that the beer is served as it should be.

BTW had a 99 Boli RC tonight.

Glad I'm not the only one here that drinks it that way. Was thinking maybe I'm just crazy.

Unfortunately the younger generation seem to be adopting our barbarian ways. (At least in England anyway) Most the pubs will have a tap for regular Guinness, and one for Guinness Extra Cold. Most of the youngins seems to prefer the cold one. Go figure...

As I have mentoined, heading to Chi-town this weekend to smoke cigars and drink beer.. So far this is what I know I will have to Smoke..

Hemmingway Short Story
CAO Italia
Anejo #77
San Cristibol El Principe
Casa Torano

Should be an awesome weekend...

[dannyboy]

I am thinking a CAO Italia after dinner tonight (that is after the second dinner, so, around 1-2 AM) no time before that for a smoke, unfortunatley. Then tomorrow going to meet up with HavanaMike and hopefully a handfull of others at Unlce Mikeys...who knows what I will have there, but if it comes from Mikey's humi, I know it will be good.

My wife closed her first real estate sale this week, so we're gonna top the week off by smoking the PSD4 that I received from George in my Newbie Sampler Trade. I can't wait!

[leicoolya]

I going for my last RASS, smoked a Juan Lopez #2 last night and WOW!!!!
ordered a box 2day it was that good

[Moglman]

Kinda cold nights here in CO, so I went out right after work and had a nice Epi2. Burn was a bit off (as usual), but tasty, tasty!

[JezterVA]

After all the recent Anejo threads, I was gonna smoke that one tonight. However the weather up here in No. VA, has turned quite cold in the last couple of days. Since I'm a big wuss and don't like the cold + I have to smoke outside, I didn't want to ruin the experience as it will be my first Anejo. Instead, I smoked nothing.

I am however, getting ready to start on the second half of my bottle of Shiraz.

Cheers!! (literally)

I picked up a coupla cigars in a smokeshop today that I've never tried. Both quite inexpensive at $2 apiece.

One is a Matacan nattie that is a huge thing....@ a dc size. Never smoked a Matacan, but have heard crappy things. If it sucks, I'll ditch it & light the Companion, which I have never heard of, period. It is about a 3 1/2" x 46.

Anyone heard of the Companion brand cigar?

[GhostDawg]

Partagas Black Label here I come.
