So what is everyone smoking?

Wet and damp in DC area today so I settled in with a ER 101 and a Cohiba Siglo VI tubo. I suspect it is from 2007/8. Great construction and a perfect burn. Dark Colorado wrapper and a nice grassy / roasted nut flavor profile.

Having a pour of EC12 with a Nica Libre 1990... One of my new favorite cigars for the price...

Weather is too nice to sit indoors. Enjoying a 5 Vegas Miami with a pour of '07 GTS.

Enjoyed a 2007 RyJ Short Churchill.... classic RyJ, creamy, nice floral notes, light spice and earth. Sipping a rye vatting that Sailor22 sent my way.. very good!!

i had the Fonseca 5-50 last week, which i really liked.

and then over the weekend i picked some Blantons to go with a couple smokes. i had the Olivia O Robusto and the Robusto Maduro. thought the maduro was much better, had a more balanced flavor and a bit of sweetness to it, whereas the other was a bit bitter.

Spent some time at a small cigar gathering last evening with brother Greg and enjoyed a 2000 Upmann Monarch and a few custom rolled cigars....

I enjoyed a cool DC area evening with an Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature last night.

Last night I had an Excalibur No. III that was absolutely excellent (better htan the last few I remember having) and complimented very nicely by the end of a bottle of VOB BIB.

[ggilbertva]

Enjoyed a couple more hand rolled cigars last night. About 1/2 way through the second stick, I started to feel it. That was a powerful smoke.

Macanudo Maduro Prince Phillip. Given to me by a friend for my birthday a week or two ago.

I usually don't buy Macanudo's, but I may start now...

[fricky]

Last night I had an Arturo Fuente Opus X 1992 Rare Estate Reserve along with the last of my tax-stamped, dimpled bottle of Old Forester BIB. It was a great pairing; however, any cigar goes well with any bourbon or rye.

Enjying a 1997 Cohiba Lancero gifted to me by a dear friend from taly.. Classic Cohiba... grassy, complex and beautiful construction...

[ggilbertva]

Enjoying my first Ashton ESG. Good flavor but mild. Received this in trade.

IMO a way over priced cigar.... I enjoy the plain old Ashton corona's... great cigar. If I am feeling flush (or if Greg is buying) I grab an Ashton VSG Illusion which is one of the few premium cigars IMO is worth the $$$.

[cigarnv]

Enjoying a Ramon Allones Small Club Corona..... great little cigar. These are May 2010 box code yet still smoking very nice....

[barturtle]

Enjoyed a EO 601 Black Robusto before making dinner. I'm not normally a Connecticut wrapper smoker, but today it was quite nice, with a cafe au lait flavor following a lightly spiced opening. Medium-Full bodied.

[cigarnv]

Ejoyed a Hoyo de Monterrey Pirimide from a special release 2004 humidor. I was gifted this cigar by a friend. Classic HdM flavor profile, rich creamy, very well constructed.

[foxflyer5]

had a pregame 5 Vegas Relic last night. pretty tasty, but it burned a little hot. i dont think ill cut it as high up next time.

I always find cigars taste better when enjoyed with friends.... and one of my "bestest" friends is Greg aka ggilbertva. One great gentleman to enjoy a cigar and a pour with.

Last evening we enjoyed a bit of beer, a few pours of bourbon, some great Firehouse sub shop sammies (thanks Greg!!!) and several cigars... Upmann Mag 48 EL.... one of my favorite new releases, Punch #11.... a discontinued offering and the Partagas Salamone LCdH.

One of those last minute get together that just makes life a little better...
