Gotta love those lowball wins, James!

I got a fiver of the new Rojas Street Tacos, the Al Pastor, earlier this week.

I liked the first one right up there with the Carnitas and Barbacoas, Greg.

Didn't get a photo, but from the Devil Site I got a box of Oliva V Double Robusto, a ten-pack of H. Upmann by AJF Toro, a ten-pack of Nica Libre Toro, and 20 Dark Shark Toros. I'd never heard of "Dark Shark" cigars before. Apparently it's a maduro, so I've got that going for me.

If you didn't smoke them all, you can still get a picture, James.

This is very true!

I'm not digging them out and snapping a photo, but still...true!

I haven't tried the Havana nights yet.

The Texas Toast was interesting, I don't know if it was the power of suggestion or what, but it did have a bit of a bread crust on the retrohale. A different flavored cigar, no peppery burn, crusty flavors kept me interested. I kept thinking that it would go really well with some smoked meat.

I've also tried the Padilla Reserva - pepper on the light that faded into woodiness with sweeter, creamy overtones, while keeping just a hint of pepper in the background that could have been nice but just seemed off. Maybe if they sit for a couple years they'll meld better. I only had the one so I may never know
