Would you like a Cigar?

[Brent in Az]

I don't know much about Rum. The only bottle I have ever bought, was Appleton when I went to Jamaica. Paired nicely with the Cuban Cohiba's I bought on the Island.

I don't smoke the light cigars too often but the Southern Draw Rose of Sharon is truly outstanding .
.

I also just received the Rose of Sharon Desert Rose in a sampler. Can't wait to give it a try after it sits for a bit .

La Gloria Cubana

I'm not a big fan of Churchill sized Cigars, however, CI substituted them for Robusto's in the big sampler I purchased.

You keep teasing me with those Southern Draw sticks!

The Southern Draw sampler pack is on the top of my Cigar bucket list on the next order.

CAO Brazilia

I first started smoking these in 2001, when they were first introduced. Picked up some good deals on 5 -packs from CI.

Used to really enjoy the Punch Punch but it’s been several years now that they taste like regular low class cigars. Before, they were powerful and extremely tasty.

So this is an interesting one....

Zino Platinum Z- Crown .

I got it in a monthly sampler from Small Batch Cigars .You pay $50 per month and sometimes they send eight cigars and sometimes only two but they swear you'll always get more cigar than if you bought separately.

This one retails for $99. No way I'd ever pay that! So I'm gonna let it sit for at least a year then give it a try. It could be the best ever and it will still be the only ever!

The few reviews I've found don't seem to justify the price, which makes waiting easier . LOL

Pretty box.

1/2 the price is for the fancy box.

Anyone ever see small green splotches on a Cigar before? Green mold?

It was almost like it was bleeding through the wrapper?

According to cigar aficionado it's chlorophyll showing up from the drying process. No issues with the smoke.

Appears, that is correct. This particular Cigar came from a sealed 5-Pack. The other 4 were fine, with no issues.

Kind of odd because this Victor Sinclair 55, is "Supposed" to be, 5 tobaccos, aged 5 years?

Cold and wet in Nashville. Of course, it’s the weekend.

Just got in the new offering from Pepin Garcia, Cabanas. Couldn’t stand it so torched one up. No waiting around here. If you got em, smoke em.

Will sit the rest in the humidor for a while, but initial thoughts are very mellow, smooth, with very earthy tones, and coffee. This moves to a kind of candy corn taste. No wait, that was the handful of candy corn I just threw in the pie hole. Anyway, I think it is a little mellow for my taste, but a very good smoke none the less! This was the torpedo version. Happy puffing all!
