Thanks for the suggestions, I see the Padron 50th every time I'm there. They opened a box for singles but its still full.

Jay I couldn't wait to light up this Perdomo. Can't thank you enough for all you sent. I'll get a few sticks sent your way as soon as that order I placed gets here.

Don't even know where to begin describing this one. It's far more mild than I expected yet still packs an amazing amount and variety of flavors.

The 20th anniversary are are really good.

I've got some time tonight so I"m going to light up something new I found at the B&M today.

Casa Fernandez Aniversario Serie 2014 - the manager there is fawning over this stick, so I bought one. Hoping to light up in a few minutes...

If nothing else, the band and dress is very cool.

Which one of you sneaky bastages sent me the New World and Oliva V?

Not I. Hell I still need to get to the post office for ya! This week has been chaotic to say the least. I am smoking a Blend Lab WA-6552 while working in the garage. Quite good, a little sweetness earthy flavor to it. It has about 3 months of age on it so it is very smooth too. A little more age and it may have become creamy.

Ronin did you take the skirt off that cigar and smoke it? If so how was it?

Petr what is a blend lab? Who makes them?

http://www.cigarsinternational...gars/blendlab/about/

Cigars International has Blend Lab cigars. They are supposedly cigars that manufacturers roll to get feed back from smokers. They roll a limited amount and let the public rate them. If they get enough good reviews, they go into full production, with a name.

There are quite a few cigars that started out this way. Rumor has it, the Man O War Ruination, CAO Angry Snowman and a couple others started out there. Unless you know what tobaccos you like, location of said tobaccos, or word of mouth, you really won't know what may be good or not. Kind of a shot in the dark most times. All of the Blend Labs I have smoked were on recommendations from others. Some good, some not so good.

It is a neat deal if you enjoy different cigars and reviewing them. They range in price from $4 to $8 each. You can get them from the website or at the store. They do have sampler packs that range in mild to full body at the store, not sure online though.

The one that I really recommend is the YH-456. Smooth and creamy coffee flavor and not all that big. The numbers after the letters represent the size. 4" by 56 ring guage. The letters are the "code" for the manufacturer that made it. This holds true for all of them.

Morning guys, starting the day off with a My uzi weighs a ton Robusto. Great smoke while working, this thing burns slow, and doesnt go out if you let it sit for 10 minutes. Great spice and flavor to it.

Carlos Torano, Exodus 50 year in the LFC size. Its a slow day today.

I tried one of those Kentucky Fired Cured earlier. It's the second one I've tried and it wasn't nearly as strong as the first but still, it's like breathing in a campfire.

Here's a few cigars I had over the past couple days.

The campfire taste has grown on me. I couldnt smoke a thicker size of those though. How are the sasparilla Cam?

Really like the Sarsaparillas, but I tend to like anything that Espinosa puts out. Famous Smoke still has a quite a few bundles and if you use the promo code "dojo" you'll get 10% off anything over $50. The Joya Red is one of my new favorites though. It's one really well rounded medium body smoke for the money.

I'm not going to buy one...

Link to Padron 50th Anniversary Cigar

Natural not Maduro correct? That would have been my choice. I can't judge I ordered some tatuaje verite from serious.

Oh and how is it. How was the casa Fernandez last night.

Hey Gator:

I wasn't able to smoke the Casa last night...forgot that I had to go to my son's band 6th grade band concert. Gotta tell you, they were surprisingly good!

Today I took a buddy to the B&M and helped him buy his first humidor - cool to get a friend into fun!

ETA: Regarding the Padron - they are mostly maduro, but I understand there were a few naturals made

I see know that's half wheels picture I thought you got a 50th Padron.

The hearse doesn't have a trailer hitch so I say if you like Padron fire one up.

Those 50th Anniversary Pardon cigars must be stuffed with Colorado tobaccy .

That review certainly does make them tempting as all hell. I just cant justify spending that much on one cigar. If anyone finds them cheaper ill pony up 50$ max for a smoke.
