Would you like a Cigar?

Last night was a 2 cigar night.

First a Partagas No. 1 Maduro. Smooth smoke, light Cedar, first some cream and floral notes. Later white pepper. But probably the pairing with the scotch overwhelmed the flavours of the cigar. Switched to a coca cola after the scotch, also because I had to drive.

Second smoke of the night. Diesel Unlimited D4 Maduro. Really enjoyed this one. Bold smoke, earthy flavor, some spice ( Cinnamon?) , White pepper on the retrohale. Very constant smoke.

The last 2 that I had were rolled tight. Had some hard spots in them (plugs) wouldn't stay lit. Drawing hard on them to keep them going, and they got overheated, and the wrapper started to distort badly.
Brent, I have not. Smoked about half that box with nothing but slow, even burn. Good draw. A little hot last 1/2” LOL

Sorrry to hear that as I have really put this one on my repeat hit list. If I find a similar experience I will let you know. Hopefully, it was just an anomaly in the ones your cigar store got, and not the standard.
 
I think it comes from the buncher at the factory?. Disappointing, for a stick that has a single sticker price of $14.00, minus my discount.

@Brent in Az, contact the tobacco shop you got them from, and show them the picture. Most will give you another cigar. If you order them on line, the same, you'll get a free cigar(s) from them. It's worth a try, specially when you paid $14.00 per stick.
 
I've been super busy at work so here are some I've smoked lately:
Rocky Patel - Sun Grown Maduro: good smoke

Got this from my local smoke shop: never heard of it but this was a great smoke for the price point.
Casa Fernandez - Aganorsa

Rocky Patel - 99 Connecticut: good mellow smoke but pretty light: probably good for the AM

Impressive! OB1 has taught you well. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::LOL::LOL:

Nothing wrong with mellow cigars. I always have a hand full of them in my humidors, for those days I don't want to smoke a full body cigar. (y)(y)(y)

Went down to the Cigar shop at 10:00, when they were supposed to open, except Jacob was almost an hour late getting there a whole group of us standing around waiting......

The natives were getting restless....

Amongst my usual go to suspects, I picked up a few new flavors.....

Although this Cigar falls into the Super premium range at around $18, for a no.17 (Churchill), I'm not really liking it. There is a certain spice blend in some cigars that I do not like. A Citrusy/ White & Red pepper blend. This Cigar has that.

Nothing like spending over an hour on a Cigar you don't like, but is too expensive to put out. I'll just have to plow through it.

The quality and burn are very good.

The monsoons came in last Thursday, lots of rain and cloud cover. Actually pleasant BBQ'ing, and being outside, when it's not a 109

Archetype "The Master". A special release batch, in honor of Dr. Sigmund Freud.

It's a pretty good stick. Comparable in price and flavors to the Axis Mundi.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
