Today's Smoke 2017

[MichaelD]

I had a fantastic Vegas Robaina this weekend. Enjoyed it until it burnt my lips. Also had a horrible CC San Cristσba. I could never fix the draw and bailed after less than an inch.

Illusione epernay le petit. Excellent smoke. Reminds me of the floral that is found in La Flor de Cano Grandiosos.

And a Sig 3 for after dinner.

Was that from the split? I didn't have any issues with mine.

DCM no. 3 and Opus X Love Affair. I got out of work early today.

My guess is yes. All my loose CC's are all in a draw and I've long lost track of where most of them have come from. But this particular cigar was unsmokeable. I was sucking it like a cheap, coke-crazied hooker and could barely get any draw. I'm hoping it was just a one-off. Next time the weather breaks I'll try another.

I've got 2 believes I'm sitting on. What'd you think? I've heard mixed reviews.

Not sure this cigar could ever live up to it's packaging. Flavors of white pepper, sultana , cedar, cinnamon and a underlying grassy note. Unfortunately the flavors were very mild except for the grass which really affected the enjoyment.

A Honda Accord chassis with a Ferrari body, a nice $10.00 cigar.

Going to let them rest and revisit them in several months. I hope you are much more impressed with yours!

sultana

I love that in Fuentes. Us Southern Italians sometimes use them in Meatballs and Braciole.

Have some 2008 PSD4 I need to sample. Have one in the drybox for after lunch.

How was the DCM? Have been disappointed with the ones from the TAA sets that I smoked this summer.

My favorite is the Pork Cotenne Braciole. (Lotsa Sultanas and fresh parsley, simmered in the sauce several hours) I loved it so much my family made fun of me.

Warped Villa Sombra Mojitos. Good smoke. I think this one was better than the first one I had.

I enjoyed it. They've always been in my top 5.

Was is the TAA 2016 set? Those had the Diamond Crown Black Diamond, which I've not yet tired.
