Whiskey Willie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just smoked one of the best-rolled cigars I've had in a long time...a Montecristo half corona. The roll was so good on this 4.5-inch cigar that it took 40 minutes to smoke. Tremendous even, slow burn with a great ash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Took a time out last night to smoke a La Gloria Trunk Show 2001 Liga 6 and paired with a Sam Smith Nut Brown Ale. The cigar was average to me but the beer was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissinER101 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The weather hasn't exactly been conducive to stepping outside for a smoke; I do have some Cuban Cohibas that need to be introduced to some Kentucky Culture. But with 9 1/2 inches on the ground, temps to go sub-zero tonight, 1-2 inches tomorrow and "another winter storm" Sunday night and Monday it may be a while before I get a smoke break :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fricky Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Yesterday, I smoked a Drew Estate Liga Privada T52 Flying Pig. I read a lot of comments indicating that they are outstanding. Apparently, I am reading the wrong sites. These cigars are not readily available in my area and they are expensive. After delivering my tax information to my CPA, I rewarded myself by stopping at a new cigar shop. They had the Flying Pig and I bought one for about $13.50.It is very solid and has an unusual shape. It is a little over 4 inches, about a 60 ring gage, and has a pigtail. The wrapper is very dark and oily with few veins. It had an easy draw with plenty of smoke. There was lots of flavor with sweet chocolate being predominant. Burn was uneven and required a few touch ups. In addition, I had to relight it a few times. At the last third, it was burning a bit hot and flavors were subdued.Overall, this cigar is full bodied with nice flavors but over priced. The burn problems may have been related to storage problems at the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khomeinist Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Tonight I smoked a San Cristobal Oficios followed by a Partagas Charlotte (Carlota), concluding with a Ramon Allones RE Phoenicia (SP?). Frankly all were a bit disappointing although the Partagas was remarkably strong given its vintage (1998). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissinER101 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Saturday the temps here reached 70, so I went out on the back deck and introduced one of my little Cuban friends (Cohiba Maduro V) to a little Kentucky culture (broke the seal on my 2010 GTS) all I can say is OMG:bigeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troyce Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 First cigar in awhile, but it was a great evening on the deck last night and a Padron 2000 and Pappy 15 made it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boss302 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Right now I'm smoking a Montesino, a little known brand that's part of the Arturo Fuente portfolio. Connecticut shade wrapper, Dominican filler. Overall, it's a pretty mild smoke, with a relatively-short finish. Very gentle sweetness, a hint of spice. If you like Don Diego, you will want to try these. I think they're comparable price points, too. I'm pairing it with a delightful glass of Blanton's Single Barrel. Quite enjoyable.I'll be stepping up to an Arturo Fuente Magnum R Rosado (Vitola 58) after I finish the Montesino. I will likely pair that with something a little bolder, like Four Roses Single Barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will likely pair that with something a little bolder, like Four Roses Single Barrel.Well, I finished the Fuente Magnum. It was definitely a different animal than the Montesino. For starters, the ring gauge was bigger, so the smoke was very big and full. Secondly, the finish was longer and spicier. The nice thing about it, though, was the very smooth draw, which is surprising in a cigar of this magnitude. I'll definitely be buying one of these again, and soon!
