Welp, I played poker again tonight -- I won some good money, then drove home to take the girlfriend to see Harry Potter, and she'd fallen asleep... so back to the tables I went. I never should have returned, I think I won just 1 hand in the next two hours. It was brutal.
At least I had some good smokes to enjoy while I tossed my money away:
Cohiba Siglo V -- A very enjoyable cigar that burned like a razor, and had a nice bit of strength to it, as well as that wonderful Cohiba sweetness and flavor. This is the kind of cigar that after smoking, your mouth just tastes wonderful. Had a nice bit of twang to it that I really enjoyed.
HdM Piramide 2003 EL -- The nice dark wrapper on this cigar was inviting, and I wasn't disappointed. Wonderful flavors of chocolate, a bit of nuttiness, and just an over all very pleasurable smoking experience. This is probably my favorite 2003 EL.
VSG Torpedo -- These had a couple of years of age on them, and though I'd just received them in the mail, they were ready to roll. While this cigar lacked some of the deeper flavors of the previous two cigars, it had some really nice spicy kick to it that was just the thing to break up the Habanos with. yummy!
Partagas Salomones 2002 -- I decided to smoke one of my 5 Partagas Salomones (thanks, DaveC!). I had some serious burn issues with this cigar when I first lit the nipple -- took a good 15-20 minutes of touching it up before it'd burn evenly, but the taste was worth it: excellent leathery flavor with hint floral and cedar. It got a bit soft on me towards the end, but that's because I was gnawing on it too much, I suspect.
Cohiba Siglo VI -- Finished the long night of chain smoking with the Siglo VI. I have to admit, I enjoyed this cigar, but I'm a bit underwhelmed by it compared to the Siglo V. I also expect to have my socked knocked off by any cigar that costs $18+ a stick. They are new though, perhaps in a few years they'll come into their own.
All in all, I blazed through quite a few cigars tonight, and even more cash. Oh well.
