December 31, 201015 yr Bolivar Habana Half Corona. This one has at least 4 years of aging. Very well constructed, good draw. Initial flavor was grass, followed by cinnamon. Second half, more citrus. This is a very interesting smoke, nothing unpleasant but nothing dominates. More sweet than savory, it would go well with a sweet beverage after a heavy meal. Very smooth. Sugars are well crystalized, so should be interesting to see what another year in the humidor does to these.
January 11, 201115 yr About to smoke a Padron 3000 I put off for a while. Its been in a ziplock back with a 72% reverse osmosis humidifier bag and digital hygrometer while my humidifier finished seasoning, should be fine.
January 11, 201115 yr I think smoking of any kind is contraindicated when one has a healing fracture.
January 11, 201115 yr We will cross that path if you get glaucoma, which hopefully will not happen. And know marijuana either. It's smoke and it's illegal.
January 31, 201115 yr Fuente Opus X; pretty much knocked me on my ass. I'm picking up two more next time I'm in shop.
January 31, 201115 yr Fuente Opus X; pretty much knocked me on my ass. I'm picking up two more next time I'm in shop. Please tell me more. I've had one of these aging for a few years now, just waiting for that special day.
February 1, 201115 yr Please tell me more. I've had one of these aging for a few years now, just waiting for that special day. All I can say for sure (since I have smoked a total of maybe 10 cigars before) is that the X easily formed an inch of nice ash, was smooth and a not as spicy as a Hemingway or short story, medium body smoke, and burns forever. It took me 45 minutes of constant attention. I really enjoyed it and gifted one to a friend before who was very happy as well. I still believe I like the Padron 1964 maduro a little more, but they are different beasts. Opus X packed a little more punch, glad I didn't have to focus much on anything for a while that evening.
February 3, 201115 yr Just finished up a Rocky Patel '92 Perfecto, love those suckers. I finally got my hands on my first Cuban (gift). Should be lighting that up within the next month.
May 6, 201115 yr I smoked a Padron 3000 last night, its likely a Padron anniversary or Opus X variety will be lost due to fire this weekend.
May 7, 201115 yr Reviving the ancient and much-beloved practice of the "afternoon hookah" today. So very nice.
May 7, 201115 yr Peter Stokkebye Stockholm Blend w/ Pure Hemp unbleached papers. (Jesus, what am I doing posting in here ... I gotta go out and ride my bike.)
May 9, 201115 yr Cohiba de Cuba Black & Yellow, that looks like the real deal. It's been decades since I've savored a sweet Cubano...
