Padron 50 Years natural
6.5" x 52
This cigar was a gift from a friend.
Really good smoke. SLOW burn even with the typical Padron loose draw. I'd like to see how they pull that off. Maybe they could teach the rollers...

Re: Fonseca by My Father Cosacos
Too many bad experiences. Some bad construction, but mostly with underfermented tobacco. The last straw was a box of Tatuaje that still tasted like ammonia after 5 years in the humidor.

Caldwell Long Live the Queen Queen's Club
This cigar was gifted to me. I wouldn't be smoking it otherwise, cuz it's a big fat log of a cigar with a 56 rg. Nice looking wrapper; good draw.
First few draws...a nice baking spice type flavor...

Re: La Herencia Cubana toro
One thing I forgot to mention about this cigar line. They also come in a lonsdale size, which SHOULD be my favorite, since I love lonsdales. But for some reason, the lonsdales aren't that great. And...

La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte toro

These days, I automatically shy away from anything that has 'fuerte' in the name. Just a dumb gimmick to me. But this specific cigar has been in and out of my regular rotation since they...

La Herencia Cubana toro

Re: Diesel d.10th robusto
I smoked another one of my well-rested five pack tonight. It was so good that I'm looking at my cabinet playing mental Tetris figuring out how to fit a box.
No joke. Great smoke.

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any natural fermentation process that can turn a tobacco leaf this color. I mean, this cigar looks like it was dipped in shoe polish. I considered...

Padron 1926 #9 natural
This cigar is way fatter than I normally like (56 rg) but it's box pressed, so that makes it a little better. A little better. This cigar was part of a sampler. I am not 100% sure, but I don't think...
