I've got some regent torps that I LOVE every now and then. Very peppery at first but the flavors really come through for me.

I'm smoking a 00 Hoyo Churchill. It is unbelievable. Medium strength, yet rich. It has so many different notes and layers. Started off really creamy then made a transition into a nutty and light spice. a little cocoa. delicious!

Thanks. I'll have to give them a try. I've always preferred the torpedo shape but the robustos were a good deal at the time.

yea, I LOVE torpedos. I'm starting to like Lanceros as well though. lol

Padron Anniv. 1964 Natural Pyramid
It was my first '64 and I enjoyed it, but I think my expectations were too high. It didn't blow me away. I splurged and paid the B&M price and it sort of let me down. Maybe the maddie is better...

Don Lino Africa tasty smoke but the draw this time was a bit tight.

It has been a long day, so I am heading out back to relax with a Monte 4.

I had a little tiny 601 Red that Bart (ripper) sent me. It was way better than I had imagined it would. It was the most cubanesque nc I've ever smoked, and it was exceptionally good.
Thanks Bart!!!

Spent the day on the road with the terrorists on a road trip visiting their grandparents.
Set fire to:
Perdomo 10th anniversary torp.
Perdomo Golf torp.
Padilla Achilles torp.
Good and bad points of each.
BTW, thanks to this site, I learned a better way to light my sticks. VERY rare I get a bad burn now unless the stog' has plugs, bad spots, etc.
y'all rawk.

An '07 BGM and a Fonseca Cosacos (thanks MCS) while betting on standardbreds ("trotters") racing at the Meadowlands. Two very good cigars and I made almost $400 betting!

Started with an SLR Serie A fresh off the truck and it didn't suck. A little tough keeping it fired up the last inch or so, but after a little rest, the rest of the box should be great.
Finished up with a Punch NC.

An ERDM Choix Supreme. Not bad...but I wouldn't call it great either.

I had a Gran Habano #5. Solid smoke for the price. Good flavor, nice burn.
