I had one yesterday. A Cohiba red dot robusto but it was so great I thought, "Wow, I wish this one wouldn't end!" Maybe it was part of the zen of the moment or what have you but it was mild and just a great smoke. What is yours?

My experiment was to listen to a playlist on my iPhone to determine if mellow music and harder music would effect the taste of a given cigar. I randomly selected the Gurkha Nepalese Warrior to pair with a selected playlist. I clipped the cap and applied the flame while Johnny Cash's version...

I wish I had been reading something tonight to go along with this masterpiece of a cigar! Sorry no pics tonight, I really haven't smoked one of these before so I was expecting a so so cigar. I was so wrong! Let's set the stage. A quiet evening, a man with his lawn chair, ice water, and his...

Tonight's reading material is a true masterpiece of comic art and storytelling. I've been a fan of this work since it came out. The first time I read it I was blown away by its scope and multiple story lines. It is simply a work of art worthy of tonight's cigar. The Diamond Crown Maximus! An...

No reading material this time around, just a man, a lawn chair, a shade three, his thoughts, and a cigar. The smoke was one from a brand I've heard a lot about, the Tatuaje. A Don Pepin Garcia creation. I've got to start by saying this was a real pleasure to smoke. There was slight wrapper...

Tonight the reading material harkens back to the mid eighties. Back to the days when Sean Penn and Madonna were married, six foot satellite dishes, and the Soviet Union was an actual country. The famous Steve Dallas broken back (broken by a drunk and grumpy Sean Penn) and the peak of Bill...

With thunder starting to echo through my humble abode I decided to hasten to my nightly cigar ritual. Time seemed to be perfect as the storm slowed to a crawl. The wind started from nothing to a light breeze under the graying skies. Tonight it would be Solomon Kane who entertained me. A true...

As the sun began to sit I decided it was time for my evening cigar ritual. Tonight it would be a Padilla 1932 Robusto which would give me the pleasure of a fine smoke. My reading material splayed out before me in my lap was while the lusty tales of Conan would satisfy my need for adventure...

Tonight's reading material. Comics before the horrid age of political correctness. Hilarious and edgy, especially by today's paltry standards. Now to the cigar! Here is the breakdown: Wrapper: Maduro Size: Petite Corona I clipped the end and toasted the foot. A smooth draw and then put the...

This is a cigar I wished hadn't have come to an end. Basically because it was so good and I only had one.... This was an insanely good cigar! The amounts of smoke it produced were so great that the exhaled smoke was still visible from over fifteen feet away! This had a woody nutty taste and...

Since I'm going to be pressed for time this evening and wouldn't be able to catch an evening smoke I decided to fire up a Oliva Serie G this morning. Here is the breakdown: Size: Special G (3.7 by 48) Wrapper: Maduro This cigar looked so good you wanted to just take a bite of it. Its dark...

Tonight's smoke is the Fuente Hemingway Signature Here is the breakdown: Wrapper: Cameroon Size: Grand Corona Reading Material: Firm and nicely constructed. Feels very nice in the hand. Easy to light with the tapered end. The initial draw was tight but quickly loosened up. By golly I do...

Thanks to Gvarsity this was my first experience with a Romeo Y Julieta! Here is the breakdown: Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra Shape: Torpedo The construction of this is probably the best I've experienced thus far in my young walk! It was very firm and compact like a fake breast! Amazing...

Thanks to RHNewfie I had one of these tonight in the Maduro wrapper! Here is the breakdown. The construction was flawless to my untrained eye. I didn't notice anything but a solid dark beautiful cigar! Perfect! I clipped the end and toasted the foot, went well, put the flame to it and puffed...

Here is the breakdown: Wrapper - Oscuro Size - Corona Another fine selection from Gvarsity Newbie Sampler pack. Fine strong construction. I clipped the end and the initial draw was perfect. The wrapper was dark and very attractive. I toasted the foot and then put the flame to it. I was...

Today I had a Fire by Indian Tabac from the Newbie Sampler challenge. This fine stick was from Gvarsity and a wonderful inclusion into the amazing sampler he sent! Wrapper - Corojo (my first corojo wrapper so far) Size - Toro Construction was good but unraveled after cutting with my Palio...

Thanks to Master Shogun I enjoyed my first Don Pepin Garcia tonight! I believe this was a natural wrapper in the Robusto size. Not 100% for sure about the wrapper but I know it was Robusto. I have read lots of reviews about spicy cigars and was doubtful at best about tasting anything spicy. I...

I've read a lot about these so I purchased a 5 Vegas sampler from CBid. I got the package yesterday (Friday the 13th) so I put them in my humidor and decided to try a Miami after lunch today. First off my 13 year old black lab is on his last legs and he is an outside dog. I've been spending a...

My most enjoyable cigar experience was had tonight by a La Gloria Cubana Serie R. The wrapping was a Maduro I believe. It was dark, well constructed. I didn't see any veins in the wrapper and had a nice cut with my Palio cutter. Since I'm a newbie I've sampled some very rough cigars right...
