Friday Night Stogie

[qwerty1500]

A Bolivar Cofradia 554 with a martini while grilling the salmon. After supper, a 00 VR Fomosos and a Knob Creek with a splash of water while watching the ballgame. The Cards even won one for a change. Life is good!

Smoked a Rocky Patel Edge Toro Maduro tonight, my first one. I give it the big thumbs up. I was little nervous, as it looked like it might make me its bitch, but it was actually (relatively) mild and flavorful. I definitely will buy more. Sat on the deck with a couple friends, and the cigar went great with the glass of Bailey's Irish Cream I was drinking. A great night.

Went to an old stand-by, a Short Story. But it wasn't short; lasted 45 minutes. You guys that say it is a 20 minute stick, you must be chimneys

Tonight I had a Perdomo estate seleccion that I got in a sampler from CI. Was a pretty good smoke, good flavor the only thing I didn't like is it seemed to burn awfully quick, kinda like to much smoke per draw. it was around a 5.5 x 50. Over all though it was good. Maybe a little age woulda' went a long way.

smoking a 5 vegas limitada 06 right now. I've been having a hard time keeping it light. I think I need to get on that coolerdor now....

[Sandman]

Just smoked a 05 monte #2. Delircous!

Just smoked a Perdomo Champagne F this evening. Right around midnight and it was still 70 degrees out. Nice light flavor and awesome burn! This was gifted to me (Forgive me, I can't remember who at this moment). Now I'm looking at picking up a 5'er. Gotta love the Friday night smoke!

What is everyone else going to smoke tonight?

These were my original go to smoke, having gotten a 15 pack of their coronas (green and red labels) in a humidor deal from CC. Personally i think they are great as a go to smoke-good flavours and a low price. They fall down on the fact that thwey are very uncomplicated, basically a woody taste throughout in my experience. also can have construction issues. however, they are great value, very attractive and those without the construction issues (most of them tbh) are made very well. nice ash retention, good look and smell and a good taste even though it i one dimensional. you cant go wrong with these unless you expect more from them.
btw the Red label is te favourite of the maker of the don kiki line (Kiki Berger).

For tonight im probably going to indulge in a Salazar Churchill from CC ironically.

Anyone smoking a 5 Vegas cigar will be enjoying a cigar made by the same guy who made Jeff's smoke for tonight - Kiki Berger. Just a little trivia there as i noticed a few people smoking those.

I smoked a Petit Coronas del Punch with a cup of coffee and had a Saint Luis Rey Petit Coronas later that evening with a beer.

[Jeff]

I'm going to start my Friday smoke with my mid-morning cup of coffee. First stogie today will be Punch Rare Corojo.

[NCRadioMan]

I gotsa SCDH El Principe for lunch and am thinking either an RA 898 or RyJ Caz later.

Still thinking of having a Padron 64 No. 35 tonight after work, if it cools down. Wife just called to ask me to grill up some beef tenderloin when I get home. Beef tenderloin + red wine + Padron =

Hmmm. Tonight calls for something special. My sister had to have emergency surgery Wednesday and came through it well. I just talked to her and the doctor said that she is way ahead of schedule as far as her recovery, so a celebration smoke is in order. I've got a Monte #2 that I've had stashed away, so I think I'll smoke that one for her.

(Of course, that's going to leave a hole in the humidor that I'm going to have to fill... )

Not sure yet (or even if I will smoke tonight). If I think about it too much I'll be in front of the Triple D for 4 hours picking something out.
