Today's Smoke 2016

Warped El Oso Papa from my doctor visit. Never argue with that prescription.

Just about to light this up as my second cigar for the night. Was planning on smoking this for Father's Day.

Haha, it was just a wild guess based on the carpet and red vinyl stool!!!

How else was I going to get that glare on the cigar? Had to use the slot machines light. bwahahaha

Cabaiguan corona extra (my 1st from this line, I've had guapos) paired with Nicaraguan dark roast coffee with cream and raw sugar. Tasty medium/mild smoke. It hits my personal sweet spot for flavors. Slight honey sweetness, cream, sweet wood, mild spice (baking spice like) in the background. Excellent sweet aroma throughout. This in my opinion, was most reminiscent of the smokes that made Don Pepin and Pete Johnson famous. Reminded me somewhat of the OR el centurion, which I really enjoyed the few I had. If you like illusione epernay,Herrera Esteli, EPC new wave Connecticut, Pepin's old stuff (El rey de Los Habanos stuff) you'll dig these.

That's encouraging. IMO, Cabaiguan went downhill at one point. Used to love them in the morning. Sounds like they've come back.

Picked up at local B&M, hope it wasn't a fluke, gonna have to pick up a 5er and then come to a more solid conclusion. In my opinion, the OR Cabaiguan Guapos were great, something changed where subsequent releases weren't as good, they were ok/good but didn't make me want another. I think most would agree about Pepin and Johnson products, something changed and the products weren't the same. Most were pepper laced smokes without much more than strength and dark earth to offer. A balance and refinement that was present with most earlier release (El rey de Los Habanos) products was missing for a while. Maybe it's returned.

Sometimes you just know where your work week is headed, so 630am Tuesday calls for one of these....

Spicy and fruity. Small but packs a Camacho punch.

Well, Fathers Day is winding down nicely. Continuing my exploration of CC coronas with a Monte #4 and a wee drop of Lagavulin...

I am posting from my phone and can't seem to get my pics upright - sorry...

Turn the phone horizontal next time you take a pic to post.

Working through cigars gifted to me via passes and bombs. I'm now in the final third and am definitely bored. The vitola may just be too big for me.

Pretty sure that's not a tail. It's a fuse, planted by your husband to discourage smoking!

I thought maybe it was a stick of dynamite, but it didn't blow up in my face upon lighting, so I'm sticking with tail lol
