Obeezy1Kaneezy Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Burns is a great spot... A part of me misses the old spot on Cherry St, but the new place downtown is phenomenal. Always have a good time in Chatty for Tweetup. It will be interesting to see how they work it this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Couple of Cohiba Reservas with the BIL the other night. The age makes all the difference, of course that's up to a certain point and they go downhill - much like bourbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent shop. I spend quite a lot of time there. I think that was the gentleman's name. I ended up getting a Rocky Patel 20th stick from him. I will definitely stop again next week when I pass back through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Dave Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Loved this cigar when it was first released almost a year ago now. Bought ten of them, smoked 6 and put away 4 in the humidor for a while. Just doesn't taste the same to me as it originally did. Perhaps it is a cigar best enjoyed fresh. I find this to be true with some Nicaraguan smokes.

Tennessee Dave Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Trying to get rid of this bottle of WP rye. Don't care for it much but in an Old Fashioned with a L'Atelier Extension de Racine from 2015 it was quite passable. Great smoke for sure. The L'Atelier line is one of the unspoken great smokes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I've been smoking Brick House robusto's, toro's and mighty mighty's over the past few weeks. I've found them to be both economical and quite enjoyable. Medium to full flavored (the maduro wrappers being quite bold), with a well balanced flavor profile. All I've tried have provided a good slow burn and even draw. I will be a repeat buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt350 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Smoking 2 Kristoffs after work. Both "medium plus" in body, in 5.5"x54 vitolas. I refer to such a size as "Robusto Grande". The first was the Sumatra, which had some sweet notes like table molasses combined with baking spices. In the second half, a marmalade\candied orange zest note came into play. The smoke at the foot smelled like roasted peanuts at this point. I am now moving onto the Cameroon. Slightly less sweet, but some pleasant cream and medium roast coffee notes so far. Both are very well-constructed, with a dense pack, firm feel, pigtail cap and uncut foot. Smoke output is modest in both sticks, but plenty of flavor in every draw. So far, their original Criollo is still my favorite, but I have yet to find a blend of theirs I didn't like. Kristoff is quickly becoming one of my favorite boutique brands, as their flavor profiles tend to break away from the norms! Not the kind of thing I would choose if I am in the mood for a "Cubanesque" Nicaraguan (Fernandez, Oliva, Garcia), but always thoroughly-enjoyable.

I had a ribeye before this so I found that the earthy flavors of the BBF to be near perfect with the EC. The cigar brought out the leather and brown sugar notes in the EC with just of hint of orange on the back end of the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Smoked a Blanton's Single Reserve at a local charity event this evening. I wasn't expecting too much, but was pleasantly surprised. It's blended local tobacco, very well constructed, with a nice draw and even burn. Head and shoulders above the Maker's dipped sticks I've been unfortunate enough to sample. Well after dinner, I also enjoyed a Perdomo Champagne robusto to wrap up the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Asylum 13, The Ogre Robusto. A nicely rolled barber pole style in dual Nicaraguan Habano and Candela wrappers, plus an all Nicaraguan filler & binder core. Nice draw with an even burn. Starts moderately, then moves to richer and fuller flavor as you get further into it. Moderately complex and still cool at the foot on the finish. I've always considered barber pole (striped) cigars as a bit of a novelty, but this is a well done and satisfying after dinner cigar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
