SMOWK Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 On the deck with a CAO La Traviata Maduro and...a cup of coffee. Took an afternoon nap and have yet to dive into the bourbon. I'm thinking it's time to revisit Four Roses and OFBB 2010, yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Decided on a nightcap & smoke before bed. Paired a couple of pours of 1994 EWSB with a Macanudo Duke of Windsor. Good way to end the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACDetroit Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Long drive today so I did a bit of unwinding with a nice pour of ER101 and an Oliva G maduro bellicoso from 2008. A ton of flavor in that thing!CheersTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky480 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 DR Montecristo Classic Blend robusto last night. This is easily my favorite version of the DR Montecristo and has been a smoke that has never disappointed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxflyer5 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 compared the Don Pepin Series JJ Sublime and the JJ Maduro this weekend with a pour of Blanton's. the maduro didnt burn too evenly, and the draw got really hard about 1/4 of the way into the smoke. the Sublime was pretty good though; id have that one again.

MissinER101 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I stand the over-night watch and last night was my night off and I am quartered in a hard building with a flat roof and stairwell access. So I was on the roof at sunrise, and we've had a bit of wind so there is some dust in the air, the entire eastern horizon was bright red as the sun came up. Quite beautiful if you just forget you're in Iraq, enjoyed a Churchill sized Habana Montecristo with a Diet Coke (damn General Order #1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss302 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 It's official-- I have made the biggest mistake of my life.So, I go to our local Tinder Box on 2nd St. in Harrisburg, PA. I walk in and find a couple business guys in suits smoking cigars and reading the Wall St. Journal (well, at least 2 of them were).The tobacconist, reading a magazine, looks up at me as I'm looking up, down, and across the big wall humidor, perusing different brands and formats. I finally locate the Ashton Virgin Sun Grown (VSG) series that has become my personal favorite the past few years."If you have any questions, feel free to ask..." I hear the tobacconist say behind me as he sits in his chair, reading his magazine.I take another look at the VSG that I pretty much had my heart set on, but then curiosity overtakes me-- I notice a brand that I can't find in the tobacco shop that I normally purchase my Ashton's from. The brand of cigar is called Davidoff. They have a classy appearance, and seem to be of decent quality. Their prices were just a small notch above the Ashton VSG's I was looking at.So I turn around and ask "what can you tell me about these Davidoff cigars? Would they compare favorably to an Ashton?"A small smirk forms on the tobacconist's face as he folds his magazine, then gingerly sets his small cigar (a cigarillo, perhaps?) in the ashtray next to his burgundy leather chair."Ashton makes some quality cigars," the tobacconist replied, "but Davidoff is a whole other dimension of complexity." He then stands and walks over the humidor in front of me. He picks up a trio of Davidoff cigars, explaining "Davidoff is made of only Dominican tobacco. The Classic series is their standard offering, we also have their Millennium, which has a slightly fuller body..."Then he picks up a slightly smaller cigar, whose distinguishing feature is the gold-colored band around the tip, as opposed to near the other end, where you hold it. "And this one," the tobacconist continues, "is their Puro d'Oro-- Pure Gold. The wrapper leaf was developed specifically for this cigar in the Dominican Republic."Mesmerized, I bought it right then and there.I then look toward the entrance, to find all 4 of the guys reading the newspapers looking at me, and nodding their approval of my decision. "You'll never be able to smoke any other type of cigar after that!" exclaimed one."The Davidoffs are better than sex!" chuckled a black gentleman in a business suit, with a thick Caribbean accent. When I got home, I poured myself a glass of Compass Box Hedonism (a vatted grain Scotch), went to my back patio, and lit it up. It lit evenly without effort. At the first puff, I knew right then and there, THIS was my cigar! It had the refinement of an Ashton, with the spicy kick of a Carlos Torano, and a surprisingly-full body, even from the relatively-diminutive size (it was technically a Corona, but definitely on the small end of that spectrum).They were right. There is no going back now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a medium-full bodied smoke with plenty of spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACDetroit Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bell's Batch 10,000 with a Fuente WOAM. This was a nice pairing that played nicely together.Cheers!Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 It's too freakin cold outside to smoke but that didn't stop me from ordering a couple of samplers. Don Pepin's "Top 25" sampler of 15 cigars that includes the Tatuaje. Also ordered Alec Bradley 10 cigar sampler that includes the Tempus, a very nice smoke. So, I got 25 cigars of good quality for around $2.75 a stick. Not too shabby. Now, if it would just warm up a little so I can enjoy a stogie or two over Christmas.
