Still sick but I could not resist trying another one of my Ybor purchases (I bought a few of these because I have been looking for them for awhile locally with no luck till now).

Olivas' Master Blend #3 Even though I was still not feeling perfect, the cigar tasted wonderful. Full flavor and lots of smoke. so glad I have more of these to try when I am not sick.



What a great looking cigar these things are.


I was feeling alot better today (5-18-09), and had planned on smoking an ESG to celebrate...but it was way to rainy to waste. Looks like the rain will be here all week.

Thanks everyone who has enjoyed this thread. Perhaps I can give better reviews in the future. There is always tomorrow!

How far are you from Tampa Humidor, reason I ask is because I was there today and they carry both of these cigars. They are a good retailer to find many hard to find cigars that you can't find at other retailers.

I visit Tampa Humidor about twice a month. I actually stopped in there after leaving Ybor where I had bought the MB3. I did see them there that day, but never recall seeing them before. I really enjoy going to TH because I think they have one of the best humidors in the state, and the smell is out of this world.

I live in Lutz, its just on the North side of Hillsbourgh County. Look forward to meeting you at our next herf.

Today started off very well. Morning cigar, Tampa Sweethearts, #500 Maduro. As some of you may have already read my review of these in the non-cuban review section...nothing has changed. Every single one of these I have smoked is as good as the last. If you were blindfolded you would have no idea you were smoking a $2.14 cigar ($42.75 for a bundle of 20).



Even though these things are rolled by apprentice rollers for A. Fuente, you would not know it. Every one of them in my bundle look the exact same, and have a perfect draw. Tons of smoke, that is smooth enough to nose with every draw. I absolutely love these things...which is a bad thing for my local B&M's because I will not be smoking as many big money sticks.

The only bad thing I can think of is they do not come in any sizes larger. As soon as I nub one out, I want to lite another.

Nice burn from start to finish...and it does have a very nice finish. I brought along a 26 PAM to smoke after lunch becuase I knew nothing else was going to top what my morning smoke was. Unfortunitly I had a very rough afternoon, and did not want to waste a great smoke on such a horrid day.

Perhaps I will smoke that tomorrow since I have to work...or maybe I will smoke three TS #500 Maduros instead.
