Davidoff Winston Churchill traveler
4.5" x 46
I'd never had a DWC before, so I threw one of these in on a C-Bid 'buy it now'.
I gotta be honest, this is a fantastic cigar.
I haven't had the greatest experience with Davidoff,...

6 x 48. Nice size. These are another AJ Fernandez cigar that can always be found on C-Bid for 50-60% of retail (retail is $6-$7/stick). When I was stockpiling these, I would set my max bid at...

Re: La Herencia Cubana toro
Smoking another one of these toros now. I believe these are the only (non-belicoso) cigar I still smoke with a RG higher than 50.
The wrapper on this one isn't visually perfect, but it doesn't...

Padron Family Reserve No. 44 maduro
I'm gonna state a potentially controversial opinion here: The only really good Padron cigars are the really expensive ones. And the really expensive Padron cigars aren't worth the coin. ;s

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.

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.
