Info? strength?....flavors?...ect. Rate that puppy!
Thanks! I'm in the process of experimenting, trying some that I've never tried before.
Really seeking a robusto or petite corona that has a sweet/creamy taste without being infused.
Trying a few AF Hemingways and Don Carlos, and just ordered a selection of Nat Shermans to try.
I've finished setting up my HUGE coolerdor that will eventually reside at the lake cabin, and I just picked up a smaller
wine cooler to convert for home use.
Gotta fill them with something!
Do you order from Cigars Intl?

Wait a moment, you're INSIDE and smoking a fine stogie. I'm jealous.Just finished this masterpiece! Best stick I've had!
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #3 (5.5 x 44)
Lists as a medium/full but I'd rate it a medium.
Excellent stick! The Cameroon wrapper adds a slightly creamy taste to a nutty, aged, slightly oily finish.
The flavors never changed from start to finish, nor did the smoothness.
Excellent burn, easy draw (I use a Cuban Crafters Perfect Cut cutter).
One of the best things about this stick was that the draw produced huge smoke...but you could hardly tell that it was lit
as it stood idle.
Ash held to the halfway point without being babied and never dropped again. I smoked this puppy till the very end, hoping that there
was no end!
Flavors and strength stayed the same from start to finish, never had any stick do that.
Cost is at my upper limit at just under $9 (at the 5 pack price)...but I'll be ordering a box!

It's been Monday part two...
Nub cafe
Another fine choice. Made by Oliva as well. These are heavy on the flavor and pack a mild punch until you get to the end, then it's a powerhouse in the nicotine department.Been looking at the Nubs!....reviews and specs are good. I'll try some once the stick funds allow.
Cheap stick quest.
Found this at the local "tobacco" store for $1.19 each in a 20 count bundle, figured I'd give it a shot.
Not bad, but probably not worth a review. Probably one of those "sit down and have a cigar and not worry about the cigar or anything else" kinda smokes.
Second half actually got better....might not be bad with some age on it.
Edit; Just noticed the "non tobacco ingredients added"....no wonder it cut like trying to cut a rope!
Short fillers?
LOLLooked like twine.
LOL
Scraps!
Maybe it was twine. It did say non-tobacco stuff was included.From sweeping the floor at the Swisher factory
Trying a Vegas Gold #5 today. Pretty smooth but still on the mild ones, will try some medium ones soon. Taking it easy to start.

I checked out "Tobacco Merchant" in Hendersonville today after a doctor's appointment. Neat little place with a smoking lounge. Nice sized walk-in humidor but fairly slim pick'n, could have had twice the inventory, but I may have caught them at the tail end of of something.
I stopped mainly to get a few A/F Hemingways after learning of the recent huge theft of the Fuente cargo container in Florida...may be awhile before any more are available.
"Paul" (proprietor) turned me on to an Alec Bradley Tempus Terra Nova...an excellent stick! A bit stronger than my norm, but very nice!
No pics cuz I smoked it on the way home.

Send me you're address I'll send you some when I get back.@BurnedOutGeek: what was that yuge stick that you gave me at Chad's? That was pretty good.
T-52 is better than the #9 IMO, but the UF13 is the best of the bunch!Finally lit my Liga Privada #9 this weekend. Wow!....great smoke! Sitting lakeside by the campfire didn't hurt
The Liga Privada T-52 is next...most rate it higher than the #9.
