This morning I went with another Aganorsa Leaf Signature Selection Natural Toro (no picture today, was at risk of appearing redundant), this time the blend is smoking much more like what I remember - rich, satisfying Nica smoke!

Hope you like them as much as I do. The Heater definitely has a pronounced cashew and other nut profile for me. The Harem and My Style is Jalapeno, similar but not nearly as strong.

Started off today with a Oliva serie G normally I smoke the Vs may have had a G and a O before but pretty good stick, quite different very medium.

Oh I'm sure I will! They sound pretty good from what I've read about them. I know I really liked All out Kings, so I had been meaning to check out more of Caldwell's lines anyways, so your posts just helped me to decide where to start!

This morning I went with a Monte 4, great pairing with black coffee.

Some big-ass Diesel that came with a sampler, something like 7x58 or 7x60. Normally I don't enjoy such big ones (phrasing!) but this was very good.

A blast from the past. An old Padilla Miami. Lost some of its bite, but I prefer it this way. Nubbed it.

The unbanded is the FUMARE La Grande Classe, the Rex. Right from the shop as well as the Tat Unicos. Both were a bit dry so rest time on the remainder. The Rex is really dang good. Strong and tasty.

Protocol Sir Robert Peel Natural Toro - okay this is a new one, and it's pretty damned good. Medium full body and very tasty. Protocol is one of those brands I don't see getting a lot of attention but I've liked every cigar I've tried by them, so Id certainly recommend. :-)

Trying a Ramon Allones Specially selected. Trying to step out of my corona sized comfort zone when it comes to the island smokes. bee also trying Lanceros lately (another blind spot). Got a 5er of these, VR Unicode, PL Picadores and Trinidad Fundadores. All new to me. Sogar my favorite of this bunch was the Fundadores but this one was very pleasant as well.

Bit of tight draw even after using perecdraw tool. Flavors were good though.

My second Por Larranaga Picadores. This one had a bit of a tight draw but no where near as bad as the first one I tried. Enjoyed it but it doesn't come close to Bolivar for me. Im thinking the Petit Corona size is just my thing. I enjoy other ring gauges but they just don't match up to the PC's for me.

Ashton Symmetry Toro - okay if I'm going to be *completely* honest, this cigar is too expensive, not at all evenly packed, tunnels occasionally and oh, what else...Im pretty sure I heard the cigar say in a tiny little voice, "you can go f@!$ yourself, buddy!" as I put the torch to it.

With that said, it tastes amazing. Just incredible flavor, really decadent - one of my favorite medium bodied profiles. It's just that there is no damned sense in the quality to price ratio...they really should add a middle finger to the cigar's band.

This morning with coffee. '17 RyJ Belicoso. Great way to start the day...:-)

Started of today with a cigar new to me in the Tabernacle Double Corona. Probably not a good idea for a morning smoke as it was a little stronger than i'm used to early in the day but I powered through...lol
