What I smoked on my summer vacation

Lexxxus · 10-19-2010, 05:23 PM

My smoking season was shortened somewhat by shoulder surgery that had me abstain for about 5 weeks after my operation on May 3.

But I still enjoyed a little over 100 sticks. Very few duds in the bunch and definitely some new faves.

The Alec Bradley Inceptios (5 5/8" x 46) have become my new Non Cuban "Go to" smoke.

Other highlights were last of my Cohiba Maduro 5's, a Behike I splurged and paid retail for. Some Monte "A"s, Upmann Sir Winnies and some nicely aged Partagas. NC highlights besides the AB's and anything Padron were the always wonderful J. Fuego Delirium belicosos, La Aurora rubys, some aged Patel Decades, Don Pepin blue labels and a couple CAO Sopranos that were surprisingly good.

just started throwing the bands in an old Leon Jimenes 300 box and it looked so nice I had to take a snap.
