What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

[rogers]

How is that La Hacienda? I've been curious about it. Did you smoke the Gran Robusto or one of the Superiores? Medium-bodied?

Superiores. Pretty good stick. Medium-boded with a nice little punch. Try also the Gran Reaserva 1988 if you like
something with a little more oomph.

Tatuaje Black Label (Private Reserve) Petite Lancero. A nice stick, but not my favorite Tat. Kinda one-dimensional. Doubt I'll buy more. Prefer the Brown Label and the L'Atelier offerings.

Parti Habanero -- many of these have had weird burn issues -- tunneling, canoeing, etc. -- but today's was close to perfect.

Asylum Shizo Maduro, very good smoke for not a lot of money.

Most of those issues are normally due to storage of the cigars. Make sure that they are properly stored in a humidor at the correct RH. Also, if you purchase your sticks online/mail order, let them rest in your humidor for at least a week to allow them to acclimate and "re-normalize".

Enjoyed a Warped GR88 robusto this afternoon.

Thanks Python. Yup, doing all those things. Think this is just a not-great box for whatever reason. Have had much better luck, in identical conditions, with other CC vitolas and marques.

Then try rotating them in the humidor every few days. Sometimes the part that is touching the stick under it gets a little over humidifier causing a canoe effect. The over humidifier part doesn't burn as well.

You could also try dry boxing a stick for a day or two before smoking it to see if that alleviates the problem.

Good ideas -- thanks again

Vato cigars - Las Vegas blend
Not a gimmick cigar by any means but not very good either. It did the job while walking the dog in the wind

I smoked a marvelous treating St Luis Rey Regios.

EPC New Wave Connecticut Stella. Construction and burn: impeccable. Flavor: ho-hum. Like it couldn't quite decide what it wanted to be, a CT or something fuller, and got stuck in purgatory.

Arturo Maduro Rothchild, found my cigar!

Enjoyed another tasty Warped cigar today, the Futuro Selección Suprema. I'm really liking this brands offerings thus far.
