Over the long weekend we went to Tampa Sweethearts to buy a few goodies. I did a review in the non cuban review section on the #500 Maduro if anyone is interested in an excellent "cheap" cigar. I am sure I will smoke one soon on the job and include it here.

I had heard alot of mixed reviews on this next cigar, but being the huge maduro fan I had to find out for myself. Camacho, Triple Maduro. First off this cigar has a great presence about it. Decent size ring guage and maduro wrapper. Not to mention its look at me silver and black band.

Well, thats about as much praise that I can give it. It was a strong cigar but it had no flavor. Now if you consider terms like earthy, and dirt, then you will more than likely love this cigar. I love full flavor cigars that are strong, but I do not want the same stagnet flavor all the way thru the cigar. I did nub it, but only because i try to give a cigar a complete chance of proving itself. For me, it never did. Sorry.

On the plus side it did give off nice smoke.

Todays first smoke was another cigar I have heard mixed reviews on, but I am constantly trying something new as everyones tastes are not the same.
San Cristobal, Clasico 5x50.

This size and shape of cigar along with having a maduro wrapper is something I am always drawn to. They fit perfect in my hands without getting in the way of work, so I had high hopes. probably had them set to high because the only thing great about these guys is the looks and the pretty band. I sure hope I smoke something new that I like soon, because this thing was a turd.
Really hard cigar to nub.

Speeking of nub...Thats waht my after lunch cigar was. Nub, Habano

Not the biggest fan of the Nubs, but the Habano is one that I will smoke about once a month. To be honest, I smoke them because they are a change from the norm and they look cool. Just another mild to slightly medium cigar that always gives me the bitter bite at the back of my tongue towards the end of the cigar. I am however really looking forward to trying the new Nub Maduros I hear are coming that some have already tried.

Took the wife to the airport this morning. She flew into Shreveport La., where she was picked up by family and driven to Jacksonville Tx. So I am pretty much the bachlor for the weekend...at least while my daughter is hanging out with her friends.

I brought a few #500 maduro Tampa Sweethearts with me today, but felt like something new. So after lunch I swung by the local Tobacco Depot and bout something that caught my eye. Cusano, 59 Rare Cameroon Preferido.

Now I have seen the funky modern bands of Cusano cigars before, and they turned me off just by their looks. Once my eyes caught this good looking feller though...I just knew I was going to give it a try, and let me tell ya brothers...I am impressed! Very tasty indeed. A medium bodied cigar that packs alot of flavor. cant describe any of them (lol), but a very nice change of pace. I will be buying more of these.

Again, thanks to all who have enjoyed this thread. I promise to keep up with it, and hopefully learn how to give a proper review.

My choice for Sat morning was an easy one...yet another Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduro.

Every time I toast one up and take the first draw, I am amazed. How in the heck something so cheap can be such a great smoke. I keep thinking I may have been very lucky with the bundle I bought, because these guys have all been very consistant in quality. They have all looked the same, had the same perfect draw, performed and tasted solid all the way to the nub, same great finish.

Picture with my new Z-plus insert i bought for my old Zippo.
