Where did you find a box?!

Having a great night tonight. My wife called at 4:55 and said she was taking me out tonight. She treated me to a fantastic dinner at our favorite local restaurant, and we then proceeded to a great little Martini bar down the street for several drinks.

I started the evening off with a beautiful Ashton aged maduro #20. Very pleasant smoke with solid coffee and almond flavors. After a Heart of Sirloin dinner, I fired up a phenominal VR Famosos from early '04. Loaded with flavor; is the easiest way to describe this young cuban. Smooth, yet bursting with mouthfuls of flavorful smoke that had a nice long finish.

Once I arrived at the martini bar, I lit up an unbanded cuban. I had the list of my unbanded smokes in my files, but at this point I'm unable to locate them. It was around 6" X 50. WOW! Best smoke all evening! I will have to research this one for sure. What a pure stick!!!

All and all, it was a wonderful evening!

Its 12:56, so technically Friday is upon us. What am I doing up? I don't know. There are still quite a few other Gorillas on as well.

Really looking foward to CigarFest 2005 in Allentown this Saturday. I plan on breaking my record of two cigars in one day. There is going to be beer, a pig roast, Playboy bunnies, and cigar samples. Maybe I'll ask the guy from Drew Estate why he makes such disgusting dog rockets.

Anyway, back to the point of the Friday Night thread... Planning on trying my first Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold in about 15 hours.

Night all,
Jeff

Well..... since it is already Friday

I have been sick with some sort of cold for the last two days and thus without a single stick. Heck... I'd be excited about a dog rocket right now!

I have a A. Fuente Gran reserve that looks like its time has come if I am feeling up to it. I figure I should at least be off of the inhaler before lighting a stick... if don't want to take some guff from the wife

Waiting for a special occasion. My wife would tell me that it will be a special occasion whenever I decide to smoke it. Maybe I will listen to her.

Tonight its a Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus Robusto. Just lit it up. Man, what a great aroma. Its my first Torano. Been saving it for a while now.

Anyone else think the Torano are a classy cigar? I really like the labels and the company's image.

[hollywood]

Jeff, those Torano smokes are pretty good. Never had one I haven't enjoyed.

For myself, I started at 5pm with a ERDM domestic that had been gifted to me. First one I've had. Will NOT be the last. Great smoke. very flavorful, but not strong and harsh. What a nice way to start your Friday evening.

Now it gets better! Just nubbed my first ever RASS about 20 minutes ago. Holy cow! This just climbed to near the top of my favorite smoke list! This is the first cuban i've had with this type flavor profile. Very fragrant and airy. Wonderful aroma consiting of floral and honey mixing with strong cuban tobacco smells. And the flavor was exactly the same. My noobness cannot come up with the words to describe it. Light and elegant are 2 words that come to mind for the first 1/2. It had noticeable hints of cinnamon as well. The second half consited of the same flavor as the first, overlapped by a bit of spice and cocoa. I burnt my finger trying to smoke it down. I am so glad I have a few more that the brothers here have sent my way! That way I can hold of on my box purchase at least a couple more days!!

LFD Double Ligero Chisel tonight.
Smoldering in the ashtray as I type.

The Toranos are indeed good smokes.
Got a box coming of the Exodus Gold Torpedos.
