I know, My ex wife had something "Important" to do and dropped my son off at my house early saturday, we went go kart racing and played laser tag.

They don't call it the "digger" for no reason! Eat a lot and plan on an hour and a half - two hours to smoke it.

Micro, hate to be the bearer of bad news but cohiba doesn't have a 2015 LE release. It's a fake.

Last night, after an hour-and-a-half dog training session and an early supper, went outside and had a LP #9 and a glass of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit. Beautiful evening.

Also, the band should be iridescent or hologram looking. I hope you didn't pay too much for it. Then again, the Behike I had wasn't worth any price. Now, my brother had a maduro that he said was out of this world.

I'm sitting out, should be working, having a Gurkha Seduction. Not bad, but nothing special either. I really gotta get to CI and grab some more CLE, and CAO Flatheads!

Finally got back on the wagon.. Had a Kristoff Brazilian Habano with a cup of dark roast black coffee. It was delicious! Lots of white pepper, leather and spice at the end.

No email yet HRK. Im in no hurry but curious.

It was given to me and I aleady smoked it and it sucked. I got about of a 3rd of the way though and tossed it. My friend purchased them in Mexico and brought them back. I ended up smoking a CAO Tony Soprano just to taste a good cigar.

My friend purchased a dozen of them. I have no idea how much he paid.

Rowland,

What did you think of that particular CAO? I really liked it, but found that it is one of the few sticks that give me a git ache if I try to smoke on an empty stomach.

It's strong, but it tastes great. It's dark, tightly packed, but you can get a really smooth draw through it. But I agree, it gives me a bit of a buzz. I need to smoke it with food in my stomach.

What a long day it has been. Work, make supper, work on the deck, realize I need more peices, go to the hardware store, finish the project. Just got done 5 minutes ago and fired up a Man O War Ruination, time to relax!

My humidor was in need of re-stocking and I had decisions to make. I like to have 4-5 choices, more really aren't necessary. I did what I usually do and got a box of Padron Maduro, I can be perfectly satisfied having one of these every other evening. My wife calls me boring.

From another thread, we do have Strike Anywhere Matches in Utah. I get a kick out of the "Greenlight".

I can't think of a better box to buy.

I've spent the last 2 days doing some spray painting for a project from work... Yesterday, I spoked this beauty from Gator. It was delicious! Notes of cedar, nutmeg, and spice.


Today, I started around noon with a R&J that I got from a friend in a sampler. It was pretty good, but I had to re-light it several times (sometimes less than a couple of minutes after I'd just re-lit it).

Now I'm smoking the MOW from Lee. I've had lots of the other MOW blends recently, but it's been a while since I burned an original MOW. Lots of leather, spice, and earth!

I should mention that I smoked all of the cigars with black coffee.

Time for another HAC thread karma.. I'll put together a sampler based with MOW virtue, ruination, and classics. I'll throw in some other gars to try to catch all types. Post an "in" comment so I know who all wants in. I'll draw on Sept 4th..

Please count me "in" for the karma. Thanks for the offer.

I still have to figure out what I am going to do for the cutter I have to karma off.

In, I tried the Espada when they first came out, bought 2, they were good, but a bit underwhelming. Maybe I need to try again?

For this evenings enjoyment...

How was that pete? Theres a pretty big display at serious.

Quite good actually. It was oily and smelled different than any other cigar I have had. The tobacco leaf that the cigar is wrapped in, keeps the oils in and imparts a taste that I couldn't figure out. It is full bodied and grew a little weaker as it burned. I was experiencing a flavor of celery, I don't know what that was about. I read a few reviews after I was done with it and I did not notice some of the flavors they did. Overall, I would have another one. Pick one up and tell us what you think.
