Today, I visited a great cigar store in Northeast Philadelphia - Holt's. I tried a Casa Magne Colorado Robusto. It was rated by Cigar Aficionado as the best cigar in 2008. Although I don't always agree with their ratings, this was an outstanding cigar. It had great flavors, excellent construction with a dark oily wrapper. I don't know if it is the best cigar from 2008, since I did not evaluate all of the cigars from 2008; however, I thought that it was good enough to buy a box.

Re: So what is everyone smoking?
Troyce came over for a bourbon tasting, and we drove my wife and daughter from the premises with a selection of Arturo Fuente Anejo's, Padron 1964, and Blanton's (not a bad cigar for a novelty, BTW).
The smoke was also quite effective in keeping the local skeeter population at a safe distance from the patio.
You know, there are few things as satisfying as spying a skeeter coming in for a snack, and driving her away with a full blast of exhaled cigar smoke. 
I swear, you can almost hear the little bastards coughing and wheezing, as they haphazardly spiral back to the stagnant pool from which they came.

Re: So what is everyone smoking?
The other day I had an Oliva Series G Maduro, I think it was the Robusto. Nice smoke albiet a bit strong! It would have be great with a glass of Bourbon.

Re: So what is everyone smoking?
Any reason it isn't a serious cigar? Because of the herbal and oil infusion? Guess its like wine and bourbon, drink what you like right? Originally Posted by AVB
