Tomorrow will be a tat tianos for me.

I bought a tin of Partagas Black Label Maduro "minatures" (six to a tin) a couple of months ago.

Smoked the first four, in the first couple of days. Average at best.

However, the last two, which have been in the humidor for the last couple of months with the other cigars, have been great short time smokes. Really good with the flavor, burn, and coolness with a small cigar.

I am thinking about buying another tin full, and storing them for a month or two.


I like good cigars, but the delimma is finding the daily "quickie" for everyday purposes.

As i suspected im smoking a tat tianos tonight. For a short smoke/ miniature i actually like the davidoff demi tasse. Theyre real small and a bit harsh but not too bad if youre doing work outside and want a little gar. A bit pricey for what they are though.

Trying La Flor Dominica- smooth but not really my cup of tea... a little light in the pants. Good smoke if you like lighter cigars- very smooth and not much spice- but I love the size. Solid 7/10!

Lighter cigars? Are you kidding?

Just fired up an alec bradley SCR corona. Pretty nice so far. A lot of brown sugar flavor and coffee up front.

No... it was really light- almost like smoking a marlboro light compared to Reds! why?
MasterAggie

Which la flor did you smoke?

Should've been the el jocko maduro...

At least I think I sent him the maduro...
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I have no idea which La Flor it was...

FWIW, it didn't look really dark. It didn't come off as a maduro. hmmmm. Looking at the butt of it now, but as it got wet I can't really tell ya much now.

On the other hand, smoked the Ambos Mundo tonight and really enjoyed it. It was very flavorful- spicy and not too rich. Smooth smoke, mixed great with my Boulevard Wheat beer. Pretty darn good smoke!

I may have sent the regular, I don't remember...

Master, I also smoked the SCR Corona last night. I got back in town and went and smoked aat Tex Ave and I'm gonna say, I like it a lot and was surprised at its strength. I was thinking it'd be a Tempus strength cigar but I was completely wrong. That criollo wrapper experiment Alec Bradley is doing is really beginning to pay off.

Currently smoking a Gurkha Status Churchill. I've smoked plenty of these before and I really do think they're a great, smooth Connecticut.
MasterAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I found the strength pretty comparable but a tad more power. I will definitely smoke more. Only two ABs I've ever liked.
Norseman912
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ditto. There's one more coming out in September that's also a criollo and from what I've been told it's another commendable stick, so I look forward to trying it. I'm also looking forward to the new Illusione Nosotros, as well as picking up more of the Oliva Cain's. I tried the Ligero Cain but I'm looking forward to trying to Maduro Cain. It should be a good year for cigars unlike last year, which was a bit of a disappointment.
MasterAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
There werent a ton of great smokes last year but there were a few damn good ones. There are quite a few im ready to try. I haven t had an illusione i did not like. I havent tried any of the new olivas but surely will. Im ready for the damn dracs to come out. Which reminds me i need to order a box of el triunfador i love those things and have 1 left.

TMoney- sorry for the delay... couple LONG and FULL days at work. It looks like it was the Maduro- but mine is not that dark- between Maduro and Natural. Don't know what to say! It was a good cigar, but I'd have never guessed it was a maduro by flavor. Guess I'll have to try another at a different point in time with a different beverage of choice judging by all the disbelieving feedback. I'll be interested to see what underoos thinks of the Black Dragon to see how far my tastes are off from the usual...

Tonight I'm trying the Cain straight ligero... all I have to say is WOW! What a FANTASTIC Cigar... best I've smoked in a couple months at least. Maybe it was just the long days at work, maybe I just really needed something else, but what a fantastic cigar! Spicy, strong flavors, great woody smoke, smooth finish- everything I love in a cigar. I'll definitely be getting my hands on some more of these for my stash of sticks. How did you happen on this cigar? One of your personal favs? What is your opinion of this cigar?

I'll hopefully check back later and more often the next 24 hours as I'm finally off tomorrow.

The Cain just came out at IPCPR a couple weeks ago so I figured it would be something that you hadn't had before.

I tried it and liked it as well.
MasterAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Man im going to have to try the cain. What you described is right up my alley. FWIW i had that experience with the el jocko maduro. I used to love them but got a few fivers of turds in a row a few years back and havent touched one since. I probably still have a few hanging in the dor. Ill have to dig one out.
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ah... that's why I haven't heard of it. Damn tasty!
Norseman912
How long do you want to ignore this user?
BNP, you described the Cain to a T. Good job! Yeah, it's a great stick and I'm glad my cigar shop owning friends were able to give me one of the Ligeros. I'm looking forward to trying one of the Maduros as well.

Yesterday was the Oliveros Eight Zero.

Good stick, lots of flavor and plenty of power for the first 3/4...but then the finish went to crap, harsh and then started tasting like rotting leather smells.

I'll go with a 7.5/10, would be higher but I REALLY didn't like the finish
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
DAMN YOU GUYS! Just spent a good chunk of money after signing up for Cbid... stupid stupid stupid. I blame myself.

On the flip side- I did get 15 '92 Patels for 20 bucks.
TMoney2007
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Congrats?

Enjoy them.
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
yeah, I went a little overboard...

RP 92s

RP Sun Grown

and some others.

It is easy to get carried away. Limiting the humidor space is really the only way to control it. I finally realized that at the rate I am smoking cigars I could go a year without any purchases and still not run out, so my monthly cigar allowance went to fund my new reloading addiction.
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I need a new humidor now.

dot not feather!

If you dont want to spend a lot on a humidor get a cooler some 65% beads and an oust fan or similar far and youre in business. And if you want get a couple of spanish cedar boards cut em and lay them like a rack on bottom. Works like a champ.
BreNayPop
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yes, dot not feather.

and good call on the coolerador
MasterAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Coolerdors work great. I did mine just like i said above. Just make sure you get a bigger cooler than you think youll need because you will be wrong. Next to my Avallo my cooler is my best 'dor.
TMoney2007
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Coolerdor FTW.

I have a 150 qt that would be closer to being full if I didn't have other addictions.

In the next year or so I am going to build an antique icebox style humidor.
Norseman912
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow Master, we're all so happy that you can have such a wonderful set-up! Not only a large count humidor but also a collerdor! I'm sure your collection is enviable amongst any of us TA lowlifes... especially this poor college student...
MasterAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ha ha. Maybe if you can play nice ill invite you over for a smoke sometime! Your attitude seems a little off though. I damn sure wouldnt have thought id have the gars i have in school. Hell i used to have to smoke those awesome marlboro lights.
Norseman912
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Master, I'm just giving you chit as usual. I have no clue how old you are, but hey, we're at the very least, interwebs friends. Sorry you had to smoke Marlboro's during college, I guess I'm ahead in that aspect, although it's been a drain on my wallet. Yes yes, sharing is caring. What would Obama do? Redistribute the wealth...
Norseman912
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ohhh and I smoked another Alec Bradley SCR Corona today. It was a great start-up and good until the last quarter. It got pretty drab toward the end, I dunno what happened. I won't lose faith in the stick though.
