Would you like a Cigar?

Tonight was so perfect (46 degrees) I just had to sit outside with a nice fire.

Mort, Great suggestion. I'm just south of you and my answer was a little different.

 

[Mort Hill]

Love, and have a fire pit too. Do that about once every couple of weeks with my son, and some of his friends. Nothing like an open fire. Totally agree!

Uncle Mort, what a fantastic idea. I'll brief the CINC, and I'm sure she'll approve; she doesn't want to totally enclosed it. Thank you!!!

@rnovi, I noticed where you live. My wife's name is Esmirna, pronounced the same.

A late Christmas gift . Smoking one of the Camacho.

 

[Mort Hill]

Ooooh! Love that Camacho Corojo. Just ordered another box.

 

[PARA45]

These are new ones, they are Nicaraguans

A short report on this Camacho. Like any Camacho, a delicious cigar. Slow burning, with hints of cocoa, coffee, very mellow from beginning to end. I enjoyed every bit of it. If you like Camacho cigars, you will definitely like this cigar.

Back at the range yesterday: AVO was good but it burned poorly. Was going to light another but then my lighter ran out of juice...

 

[PARA45]

I think your cigar doesn't likes all that snow. LOL!!!!! Those AVO Classics are some fine cigars.

 

[Uncle Sauce]

Your probably right about that! Was one of the worst burning AVO's I can remember...just very irregular. It was a bit windy so I don't think that helped any but shouldn't have been the sole cause. Might be my humidor??

You'd be surprise how quickly a cigar will be affected by cold dry air, and wind. Your cigar goes from a controlled environment, to a cold dry one. Not a good combination. LOL!!!! I've had them crack on me after a while. This was in SD, and it was cold.

That's a good point that I never really thought about much. The wrapper did seem a bit dry when I lit it and that was only about a ~couple hours out of the humidor. I have quite a few of those so I'll keep at it!

Nice gift! I think I will have to try the Camacho Nicaragua.

 

[PARA45]

The one I'm dying to smoke, and I'll probably smoke this weekend, is the black label Padron, third from the right. It's a new blend, and I've heard some great things about this cigar. You guys know what a Padron snub I am. LOL!!!!!

 

[Brent in Az]

I just looked up the Black Label Padron. $165 for a box of 10. Sounds like a must try stick.

Thanks for the review. Love those nuggets of wisdom when trying tell how a cigar taste. I am the guy that usually says “er, smoky. Good.”

We have a joke around the office as one of the countrified guys that works on the counter always tells me when I am smoking “that must be a good one. They say the good ones stink.” I just say Yup!

Since it’s such a sad and sh*tty day in the history of our great nation, I figure I smoke something nice. Smoking an Opis X 20th year.

 

[Uncle Sauce]

Good for you! How is that? Worth the price of admission?

I’ve had terrible experience with Opus X cigars, until this one. It was a bit spicy at first and then mellowed out beautifully. A medium body flavor, w flavors of pepper, & leather. I’m impressed with this cigar. Look at this ash, when it finally fell, it was almost half of the cigar.
