Viaje Exclusivo Leaded Double Robusto - I haven't had many Viaje thanks to them being so hard to get, so I jumped on a 5er when I saw these. Definitely chock full of Medio tiempo if lighting difficulty was any indication! Very nice full bodied smoke :-)

Yesterday I only had a Monte #4. Today I work the bar fr 12 hours. Not sure what I will bring with me but I am sure they will be classically good. Or is that magically delicious?

Depends, are you Marvin Shanken or a Leprechaun? :-)

Monte 1935 Anny by AJ - Supposed to be a re-imagined version of the 1935 Montecristo. Uhm....no. Not by a long shot. This is one AJ to avoid. Now, I've never had a '35 Monte but I bet it had some kind of flavor, unlike these new ones.

A morning treat before I get to work.

La Luna Fuerte Maduro.......... found in the bottom of the humi and probably there since '05 or so. OK cigar, smooth and mild but lacking in the Fuerte dept.

San Lotano Dominican Toro - pretty standard dominican profile, lots of wood and cream notes with a nice lingering mild pepperiness. Medium full and recommended if you are a Dominican fan.

Working on the Partagas now. The unbanded is a Milberry St Cigar Maduro.

I can't get enough of those La Haciendas, just ordered another box of the Robusto Extras about a month ago! Planning on checking out the Maestro del Tiempo sometime soon as well...had one once but wasn't able to get a good impression at the time.

Espinosa Especial Toro - the most recent specimen in my quest to try all things Espinosa. Pretty middle of the road especially for an Espinosa, medium bodied, cream & cocoa and completely absent is the pepper and spice associated with the brand. Not at all bad, just not great either.

Warped Corto - have had these on ice for over a year now and man they just keep getting better..densely rolled, rich full bodied Nica heaven. Will be fighting an internal battle to leave the rest of the box alone for another year...

Warped 1988 Robusto Extra - if you enjoy a potent Nicaraguan then I'd definitely recommend this one. Full bodied and flavor, pepper and spice. Would like to get a separate box to age because this one would definitely benefit from that as well!

Headley Grange Chamuco - have had these in the coolidor for a year or so and it's reminded me of just how much of a difference even just a long rest does for a cigar. Very pleasant smoke, but in a very subtle way...to be honest I was expecting a much spicier smoke due to the wrapper but it's rather quite smooth. Also a slow burner! Recommended. :-)

I normally like these, but this was relatively ROTT and I think it was pretty over humidified coming from Cigar Bid. I'll wait a while before smoking another from that pack.

Illusione Holy Lance - what a fun smoke, I wish all my favorite blends were rolled in this size...very tasty and currently pairing well with tonight's Malbec :-)

Love the lanceros! :-)
