last night...CAO Flathead 660. Mmm Mmm...good. Chocolate, coffee, and chocked full of vitamins and minerals to help a growing boy such as myself grow big and strong.

Started smoking a Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut on the way back home. Still an inch left, so standing in the driveway finishing it.
Sadly, I only am able to smoke cigars in the summertime. I only smoke outside, and it's too cold in Massachusetts in the winter months.... Cigar wrappers tend to behave badly and split when it's freezing out.
What did you think of that Oliva CT? I loved the one I tried -- excellent flavor and construction -- but the wrapper was the weirdest yellow-orange hue of CT shade I've ever seen. Reminded me strongly of something in the barnyard that I'd just as soon leave unsaid, not wanting to yuck on your yum, so to speak.
I did not like the Oliva Connecticut. I smoked a couple from Oliva samplers. For Connecticut wrapper, I prefer Monte Christo Classic or Rocky Patel Vintage 1999. I am still exploring to find something more interesting
Cain Daytona during evening commute. Today’s commute was longer - 1 hour 15 minutes or so, but I still could not finish it. Finished it standing in the driveway
Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut during the drive back home. This is a new batch - looks like it has not rested sufficiently. Loses favor after the 2/3
Warmer weather today, smoked an Olive Master Blend 3 Robusto , always a good smoke for me, like the box pressed also, new guy here, didn’t know about box pressed, I’m learning, lots of good guys and info here.
Ashton Esquire. A nice small cigar that comes in tins of 10, great for a 30-minute smoke to accompany a walk in the woods. I actually smoked some C&D Pegasus directly after and having primed my palate with the bittersweet coffee, wood, and cocoa flavors of the cigar made the Pegasus taste markedly more sweet than it normally does. It's interesting how relative taste can be
My second venture into “authentic” Cuban cigars. Very enjoyable! Much tastier (and cheaper) than the authentic Cohiba I purchased.
A cheapie Viking Village Toro from Holt's. Was pretty bland, but inoffensive. I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to stogies.
Tatuaje Petite Reserva. These little guys are mighty tasty.
Enjoyed a Padron 1964 anniversary Maduro with my brother
Roma Cromagnon Fomorian (robusto). I love, love, love candelas. This one was phenomenal in my book. Nice hay and green tea notes, with a little light roast coffee with cream, and a spice note that's hard to put my finger on (mace?). Utterly fantastic stick, but too expensive for me to smoke often.
