Best vitola in the line, IMO!
Exquisito,
Finally got a little snow here

Found this XO tubo hiding in the cooler, so to the flame it goes for the ride home. Much more peppery and lemony than I remember, but I haven't smoked many of this vitola.
Was going to smoke an Anejo 46 for Fuente Friday. I clipped 2 and didn't like the draw on either, so they will sit in my 62RH box for a bit longer...

Wow that's a crappy pic. Slight improvement:

Ahhh! It’s Friday. Fuente Friday. Done with work early. Got an Old Fashioned and a Hemingway Work of Art. 
Hobson's Bad Boy.
This li'l thing was dipped in syrup and infused with vanilla or somethin'. Beginning to suspect that I like infused/flavored cigars more than I like most aromatic pipe tobacco.
Also bought a sampler of those flavored CAOs, on the principal of "If any of these are super good, I'll try the pipe equivalent".

I dig the packaging!
What’s the flavor prop? I’ve had some aro cigars that I like. Asylum 867 Midnight Oil is one that comes to mind. Still didn’t like the sweet tip on it, but the flavor was unique.
Vanilla-y, and I may or may not have bought them for the package.I dig the packaging!
Hobson's Choice, I believe, is a Davidus brand, and I know they're usually pretty good. So combine brand trust with a sexy demoness on the bag...
Partagas Black, Maduro, Big fat Gordo type shape. OK but ash drops all the time on my keyboard.
Busy day left me without a lot of time. Fortunately Fuentes come in a wide range of sizes. An Exquisito maduro is the perfect size for a brief evening break.
Little ones are good like that
We went our to dinner with my buddy and his wife. Had enough time for a Peruvita afterwards

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano for Saturday morning. Have a good one, gents. 
Sometimes its is necessary to smoke a gimmicky cigar for a laugh. So I am smoking Drew Estate Larutan Egg Maduro with a 110 ring gauge.
I've had one of these in my humidor for 16 or so years now. Also have a Puros Indios Chief about that same time. One day... So how was it?
On my way home from my mom's yesterday:
Puros Chief brings back a lot of memories. They are actually a decent smoke. I was looking to find some more...doubt I will be able to. Great for LONG road trips. You can even rest the cigar on the Steering wheel while shifting if need be. LOL
As for the EGG, those are a crapshoot. IF the roller does a fair job, they can smoke ok. The batches we got many years ago were not rolled, they just stacked the leaf making the draw horrible. The flavors are on par with anything Johnathan Drew touches. meh.
