Those Diesels are a pepper bomb and are full of flavor! I tried one on an empty stomach once.

Yeah I smoked that one the same way. Nearly killed myself getting back in the house for some food.

A friend gifted a Pudgy Monster box set to me today! More than grateful and I will be letting these sit for a little while in the humidor. While I was at the cigar shop, I did buy a few Tatuaje Miami 10, more La Gloria Cubana Miami artesanitos, an Oliva "V" nub and an Opus X robusto. Good thing I made some room as I'm getting pretty full again, especially with that box in there!

Enjoy! Just from personal experience, save the Jason for last!

Thanks for the tip, though I have already had a few Jasons this year.

Few thoughts

I use a Tupperware with a cedar tray for humidor overload.

FFor nicotine OD I use sugary drinks like coke mountain dew or sprite.

Favorite monster is the mummy but I haven't had a Jason since last fall I should have one of the original large RG that I have.

Tonight it's a Crowned heads TAA angels anvil
Great cigar, I'm a full flavored cigar smoker but the medium bodied complex cigars are starting to win me over.

Well naturally I have a hard time letting new cigars "age". I tried my Camacho Triple Maduro. If you aren't a fan of Maduro, this is not the cigar for you! The construction was terrible but that might be just because of the nature of the maduro leaves but it smoked great and had a fairly sharp burn only requiring a few touch ups. Anyways, it was very very bold, but not harsh at all. It tastes 100% Maduro...because it is 100% Maduro! I had about 70% of it until I had to set it down. Really had a healthy buzz by that point. Anyways, I really liked it and I will be purchasing another to keep in the humi!

Now the bad. I also purchased the Camacho Ecuador (blue wrapper) recommended by my tobacconist...it was terrible. I honestly have no clue what Camacho was thinking when they decided to sell these. My wife was smoking it, she has NEVER had a cigar she didnt like until this one! I was like, it cant be that bad. I tried it, and it was every bit that bad and then some! It had a super black peppery taste that tasted darn near medicinal. Very sour/harsh with intense spice but no flavor. Super gross! Keep away from that one!

Went to the shop and got a few classics for my vacation this week. Two La Gloria Cubana Serie R's (a natural belicoso and a #5 maduro), a Padron 1964 Anniversary Exclusivo Maduro (one of my top 5), and also grabbed one of the limited selection of Tatuaje they had... a Seleccion de Cazadores Tainos. I typically stick with toro or, at most, corona, but the Tat is a full 7 1/2".

Went with Gator's Tupperware humidor suggestion, packets of 69% RH, and the cedar sheet and stick from a box of Cubana Monte #2's.

Everyone, enjoy the smokes, they all look great! I am out of series "R"'s at the moment.

Thanks for the reviews of the Camacho sticks. I saw the Ecuador yesterday but forgot to ask about it.

I'm not sure what I'll be having today. It's raining at the moment but should clear by this afternoon.

Well, I started the afternoon off with my first ever Opus X robusto. Wonderful smoke that I enjoyed to the nub. Then to follow that up I smoked an Oliva V nub that was very good as well. I enjoyed the day around family and friends as I hope everyone else did as well. Happy 4th of July to all here and abroad!

This evening begins with a Tatuaje Chucky pudgy monster. I figured I'd try one since there are two in the box. All I can say is "wow"!

Lit a Rocky Patel Winter 2012 tonight. Not bad but the flavor is all over the place.

Tatuaje TAA 2012. They are returning to this blend for 2014 usually released in October. Still a powerhouse after nearly two years in the bottom of the humidor.

Well, this evening is one of the Tatuaje Tiff pudgy monsters. Pepper but bland compared to the Chucky from yesterday. Now I need to discipline myself to leave the rest of the box alone for a few months!

Padron 2000 series. I like to sit on my deck in the evening and enjoy one.

First day back to work after a week long annual shutdown. Smoking a Schizo, reading Autoweek, relaxing!

I like 5 Vegas. The Gold is a great mild smoke. The Miami is an equally great full bodied smoke. I had my last Churchill Miami tonight. Luckily I have a half dozen or so Knuckles left.

Viaje C-4 beautiful wrapper, it has a cap on both ends not sure which to clip, I guess I guillotine both ends.

Clip one and light the other. That is one cigar that's on my list.

Sitting at Cigars International enjoying an Illusion cq4. Very good cigar. Nothing special but good.
