AVO Domaine #50 - beautiful figurado made from very well aged tobacco. The Domaines are the least mild of the regular AVO lines but still pretty mild. Great body, flavor, and construction. Also, my local had them mispriced at $4 each

Had a LFD Double Ligero Chiselito tonight. Was expecting a powerhouse smoke to knock me on my ass a little, but it was actually very gentle with me...I thanked it by nubbing the damn thing. Great little flavor bomb.

Last night I smoked a Partagas Super Partagas...nothing special, but the burn was amazing. Razor sharp and the ash held for over 2 inches. Impressive construction, but wasn't full flavored enough for a Partagas.

But I have a cab of Coloniales on the way so ... and I just put down a yummy '06 Bolivar Belicoso Fino, too!

Jay i've been fortunate enough to experience both but IMO absolutely no comparison between the two! Maddy hands down wins the race :love: What a tasty complex cigar they have put together here Big ups for Padron Family :thumbs:

Enjoying a rain day here in the desert. We will take all we can get. Although not good for the tee sheet.
I was gifted an Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto the other night and have sparked it up. It was from a BOTL I didn't even know smoked. I will have to make sure I pack a gift next time I see him, and PIF some of the goodies the brothers here have let me in on.
Good solid construction. Triple cap. Nice dark/milk chocolate wrapper and light Grey ash is holding on for the first inch or two. Nice deep tobacco flavors with a little mocha. Smooth and not yet overpowering. I am enjoying this so far. Loud obnoxious band as noted by Charles. Good steady burn although it started a little off to one side but it quickly straightened itself. Tasty smoke and at the right price point I would surely try these again.

Shoveled out, showered up and hit the shop to enjoy a '07 San Cristobal de la Habana Muralla. I forgot how good these are.... just a fantastic cigar!

This morning I cracked open the JLP Cremas I got back in early 07. Stepped outside, punched the cap, and fired that baby up. Was probably the best JLP I've ever smoked, excellent cigar!

As a noob, tonight is the first time I think I have something to contribute. I decided to go out in the cold tonight (25F) and have a smoke. I started a fire in the chiminea(wife's idea) to have some heat. Sparked up an Oliva O Maduro Robusto and sipped some Balvenie 15 yr. About half way through, I threw some porterhouse steaks on the grill. The smell of burning birch, and grilled porterhouse was unbelieveable with the deep, dark creamy taste of the Oliva and the woody bite of the balvenie. The clear starry sky and snow covered ground added the perfect visual sight to the experience. Tonight was a great way to enjoy a NE winter evening.

I haven't tried the natty yet...and unless somebody hands me one, I probably won't. I was excited about trying the 45th natty...and it was a total let down in my opinion. I'd rather spend that kind of money on a sure thing. Again...just my opinion.

Thanks Jay, it looks like I may have to go find myself a maddie to try.

I had the complete opposite experience , Walt. I found the '45 nattie to be a much better smoke than the '45 maddie. Different strokes...
