Padron Panetela

6.5 X 36

On the deck, quite a smooth smoke. A bit of a woody taste and a mild aroma. Quite long but a good smoke Listening to a little country music. The draw was very even and there is very little aftertaste

Perdomo Estate Prestigio

6.5 X 50

A beautiful evening, driving in the GC, enjoying the coolness and a nice Cigar. The wind blowing through the Jeep, caused the smoke to burn unevenly, but after awhile it settled into a nice draw.

The pyramid style helped with keeping the cigar uniform. The taste was mild and earthy. The atmosphere was great and the aroma only contributed to the pleasure of this moment.

Montecristo Platinum, Vintage 1999 Toro

Corona Gorda Ring 50, Length 6". Montecristo has a series were they are re-releasing cigars in this size from each of the past 7 years (99,00,01,02,03,04,05). A cute idea, but I'm not sure if there is that noticable a difference between the years.

As the older cigar in the series, the Vintage 1999, was supposed to have the most mellow yet established flavor.

It was a good smoke, quite flavorful, but not overwhelming. It was mild. I noted flavors of wood & dark spices. the cigar smoked well, but burned unevenly. Yet it left no burn on my tougue or bitterness as I smoked it longer.

Montecristo Night @ Havana Connections

A tribute to the great Montecristos! A couple of company reps were present & a series of Montecristos were given away along with samples of Montecristo Rum. It was a fun evening with a few guys from a variety of walks of life and a great opportunity to talk about the wonderful pleasure of a good smoke.

Cohiba Robusto

La Republica Dominica 5.25" and about a 44 ring size

A wonderful smoke on the deck about 5pm on what should have been a sweltering day was really quite mild and slightly breezy. Ah, Cigar Aroma - so effective at keeping the mosquitoes away.

A crisp smoke with distinct flavor of wood and maybe a slight bit of earthiness. It smoked mild, held it's ash together and was very pleasant.
