Cigar Guys - Any Here?

hard to fault!!!

 

I'll put a Padron 1926 #1 or #9 against any other cigar hands down.

Starting to feel warmth in my fingers, almost gone.

 

not to be outdone...I just burnt my fingers

 

RESPECT!!!

 

I was looking for the #2 when I stopped by the store!

Well I "get" to work today so I brought in a Fuente Hemingway Short story to light up.

 

Picked up a box of Carlos Torano Noventa 90. Amazing cigar!

 

Carlos Torano Noventa - Cigars International

A true bargain smoke. They were a big deal when they first came out. CI bought the remaining inventory from the manufacturer.

The whole Carlos Torano lineup is a great everyday smoke, and I'm a Padron 1926 daily smoker.

Carlos Torano Exodus Gold 1959 is an excellent smoke for the price as well.

That's where I got the box. You really can't go wrong at that price.

 

Good choice!

 

Lit up a Varina Farms Breakfast blend last night. Don't remember where I got it. I think it was in a trade with someone. I wasn't expecting much since I've never heard of them, but was pleasantly surprised. On the high end of the mild side and just a very pleasurable smoke. I think it's a Connecticut wrapper so I was actually expecting it to be more mild than it was.

I may have to look them up. Tasty little treat! I love it when the weather is nice enough to sit outside in the evening with a nice smoke and just relax. Great way to decompress from the day!!

Edit: Looked 'em up and I'll probably grab a box to have on hand at this price....http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/12218/varina-farms-breakfast-blend/

 

Bought a fireplace and chair set for the deck last week at a charity auction. Started a fire tonight and am enjoying a great Padron 1964 with Muddy gently strumming in the background. The only way it could better is with a nice cold whiskey and a hot woman beside me. Well at least the whiskey anyway
.

 

Oh to have a fire and cigar! We woke up to 76deg due point this morning

 

Another nice evening outside. Digging in the odds and ends pile found an Alec Bradley Family blend. Decent smoke. I think I like his prensado much more though. Might cut this one short though the skeeters are hungry tonight.

 

I smoked a prensado two weeks ago. pretty good!

It was a very nice smoke. I was a little worried at first being such a full bodied stick but it was pleasent. Certainly can't dissect it and tell you the first third was earthy, middle was cocoa etc but will gladly smoke another one of these.

I very much disliked the Padron 3000 Maduro I had not long ago. It was very harsh and just attacked my throat. I left a good quarter/third of the cigar in the tray because I simply couldn't smoke it.

 

Cooked my own steak...!

Ashton Heritage Belicoso #2 tonight, excite for this one. Was not as pleased with the last Ashton but I thought I would give them another chance with a different stick.
