The Daily (Cigar) Report. What did you Smoke Last Night?

[Matyoka]

I had a couple of opuses during the last decade and none were even close to what they were supposed to be... Nice band design however

Dustin,

I was in such a rush to leave to Arizona, I totally forgot to include a Siglo VI in the mix. Never the less, I had quite some great cigars!!!

No pictures but il throw in an update...I've had 2 Graycliff Turbos and also a pair of 5 Vegas gold torpedoes since the last time I checked in. The Graycliffs in particular were very impressive.

Well I've had a box of opus x for a while now and never smoked them. So after reading the past few posts I think I'll give it a try tonight to see if it's as over rated as some of you guys say

Hey Robb,

Were you at a cigar club? Awesome picture in sepia.

Indeed, it was at my local cigar lounge. Nothing like a nice smoke while shooting pool, playing cards, or watching sports with some buds :thumbsup:

and the pic was taken with a phone, believe it or not lol.

Enjoying yet another Fonseca Arana on my front deck...

Thank God, summer has finally arrived.

La Perla Habana Cobre Belicoso...

A Connecticut wrap; this one has spent a lot of time in the humidor. It's developed a nice, grassy sweetness. Perfect with a morning cup of coffee.

Another Connecticut that has been in the humidor awhile... Isla De Cuba; a boutique brand from Miami. These smokes are sooo much more refined after letting them rest. Smooth, creamy, nutty... mmmmmm, breakfast.

 

[Matyoka]

Hmm Hmm Hmm yummiiiii!!!!

Another Fonseca Arana today...

 

[G30]

Decided to revisit the "gateway" cigar, Macanudo, in the form of the Hyde Park. Haven't had one of these since... Hell, I can't remember.

Effortless draw, very mild, almost too much so. Continuous notes of sweet cedar and grass throughout. Enjoyable with a cup of coffee or mowing the lawn, which is what I'm about to do.

All in all, nostalgic, but only a 5 out of 10 for my current palate.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about...

Montecristo White

Mild to medium bodied. Smooth, creamy yet earthy and complex with just a hint of spice. Chock-full of that rich and definable flavor that Montecristo is known for...

 

[G30]

CAO Gold

Starts off a little dry with notes of leather and sweetness. Not as creamy as I would expect for a Connecticut. Mild to medium bodied. The last half opens up with some pepper and a hint of licorice or anise. The sweetness takes on a caramel flavor. Very nice.

The current run of cigars I'm smoking are from a sampler I bought from cigar.com for my birthday. This CAO would definitely improve with some time in humidor. Really enjoyable.

 

[Matyoka]

Dat's some nice ash G

 

[RobbDizzle]
