JayMonster Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Didn't have much time for a smoke today, but really wasn't in the mood for the Bolivar Especial #5 that is usually my go to in such situations. So I dug in deep and found an old Montecristo 4 x 44. It was a short run product at the time (though apparently now it is a regular), that was on special at JR Cigars and I had purchased a couple of boxes of this little gem after trying one at the store. Not particularly strong, it is a smooth draw easy smoke, with lots of chocolate and leather taste. We used to call these little things Tootsie Rolls back then, and smoking this I remember why. I don't know if the newer runs are still made (or taste) the same, but now I want to find out.Since this was during yard work today, rather than bourbon it was paired up with Mayorga Roastmaster's Blend Coffee.

jtexaslonestar Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I had problems with my previous bottle of FR1B pairing well with cigars but the '10 bottle i picked up today has found a friend with this Perdomo Noir . Very happy ending to a Monday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtexaslonestar Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The Perdomo Champagne Noir is quickly becoming my favorite. Not a fan of the Toro, but that can be overlooked. Pairs with most of my drinks extremely well and so balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMonster Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Didn't bring any cigars with me on my recent trip, which was unfortunate since I found myself with a little more time than originally anticipated. Fortunately, I found a decent local smoke shop and picked up a couple of LGC Wavells (thanks for planting that in my head cigarnv).A night of sitting out, drinking Wild Turkey Rare Breed while enjoying that Wavell was a great way to melt away the stresses of the day.

JB64 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My favorite is the Ashton VSG but due to the cost I don't get to smoke them as often as I would like. My current "value" smokes are from Cain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMonster Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Devil's game ended too late to really enjoy a top shelfer smoke, so I went with a Consuerga #9 Maduro. I paied it up with some EC12. Both were satisfactory if pedestrian of an experience. Sufficient though for the allotted for their enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
