smokinjoe Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I had a nice fire going in the outdoor fireplace, tonight. An assortment of pours accompanied by a Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut. A very nice, easy smoking stick to wind down the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vange Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I was on the market for some milder cubans, so I bought some:El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme - more medium than light, but a nice smokeFonseca Cosacos - right up my alley and exactly the relaxing light smoke I wantedI paired the two cigars above with a WLW 06. Nice pairing on both cigars.The other suggestion I received and ordered was RyJ Short Churchills. I planned on smoking one this weekend, but I was ill.

jbenuniv Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Had a Te Amo Cuban Blend. Looks like a Nub, but not the same quality, and all Mexican tobacco if I understand correctly. Not a bad stick, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 While plowing all the snow yesterday, I tried smoking a connie. It was still snowing and the cigar kept going out. I only got about 1/2 way through before giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 As of late I have really like the Upmann Mag 48, one of the 2009 EL's from Havana. Great size, loaded with flavor that is Upmannesque but sweeter that the Mag 46 with good complexity and a nice finish. A real nice cigar for one so young. This is one vitola that I hope emerges as a regular production stick as we saw happen with the Mag 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigarnv Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Monte #2 while trying various bourbons.Monte #2 while sitting next to Greg and drinking all his bourbon.... I really liked the Old Fitz from the 40's he was pouring.... excellent mixed with diet Coke. You think he would bring out some fresh bourbon but he just keeps pouring stuff from the 60's to the 90's. He must be saving the tasty fresh stuff for Em......He also fixed a light lunch... 2 pound rib eye, potatos, slaw, etc..... Great afternoon my friend!!!!

dean_martin Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I smoked a Rocky Patel Sun Grown the other night. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a bad stick.Joe :usflag:Obviously, I haven't kept up with this thread in a while. I tried the Sun Grown not long ago and was surprised by its tastiness as well. It was the most memorable in a Patel sampler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxflyer5 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 im no aficionado by any means, so i usually just pick up a variety from the tobacco shop until i find what i like. i tend to like most of what Macanudo puts out. fairly mellow and never seems to overpower the bourbon im having with it.

Nice flavor, creamy and mild to moderate strength. Another good one is Puros Indios Veijo; aged 6 years using a mixed long filler. Good price when they are on sale for around $30 for 20.

ggilbertva Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 It's a perfect night, mild weather so sitting on the front porch enjoying a 3 Siglos Gran Habano. Good amount of flavor, tons of smoke....pretty decent although the burn is inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxflyer5 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 friday night was one of those perfect nights. sat on the deck listening to the baseball game, with a beer, a glass of Hirsch, and an Ashton Cabinet churchill. definitely my favorite cigar to date, but too pricey to have often.

foxflyer5 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 had a few carolina cigar company smokes while i was on vacation. okay, i guess, but nothing specials.i also enjoyed an alec bradley while sitting by the lake. thats a very nice cigar. a little fuller, but very well balanced. even the wifey enjoyed the aroma, which is rare.

JamesW Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just had my first cigar in many months. Cuesta-Rey Centenario from the Dominican Republic. I bought this 6 months ago and it was pretty stale but I enjoyed it anyways. I had it with a Handy Rye 2009. The poor thing kept unraveling in my hand and I had a lot of spitting due to a considerable amount of saliva production while smoking. I assume that was due to the stale-ness. Nonetheless, I enjoyed sitting on the porch and pairing it with the rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichPryde Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 For the first time in many months, I lit my pipe up on the back porch while chatting with Paul and Joe in the gazebo. My pipe tobacco of choice is IQ-40 (I think), which always has a different name. I've found it labeled IQ-140, Wildcat, and now that I've found it here in Tucson, it bears the name "Wilshire." I haven't experimented much with pipe tobacco, I smoke a pipe somewhere between 3 and 12 times a year, typically 6. I've only tried 3 or 4 different kinds of pipe tobacco. I thought that Wild Turkey 12 year old was an absolutely stellar pairing with the pipe last night... not that I can do that very often! Anybody got another pipe tobacco I should try? I don't think I like black cavendish, but it's been probably 5 years since I've even tried it. Not sure how many people smoke pipes on this forum!
