What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

That's a great cigar Steve! The Estupendos are also tasty, but needed a little more time in order to really be great.

They seem to be great cigars! I hadn't smoked an Emenencia for at least a couple years and I don't remember being all that impressed by them back then, so I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this was. I'm glad to hear the Estupendos are also good, but I didn't buy any because they're bigger (and more expensive) than I prefer.

No. What's Peat Monster?

It is a brand of REALLY smoky flavored scotch. It is Lagavulin times two.

A special cigar today for a special occasion. The cigar was a God of Fire by Carlito 2006 Piramide. Very, very nice. The occasion was one month ago today I worked my last day, at least for a while.

Gurkha Symphony. Quite a nice smoke overall.

Anyone try the 'make me an offer' feature on CI? How low does he typically go? I think I'm gonna go through that section next week and make a few hundred $$ worth of offers and see what happens. Hmmm, maybe one of those offers needs to be on another humidor, lol

Retirement doesn't seem to be hurting you a bit.
I figured you would break out a Partagas Lusitania or something.

It really isn't retirement but a hiatus. I quit a job that was seriously getting on my nerves and am in the midst of a few months of R&R and attitude adjustment.

I would love to break out a Lusitania. Send me one?

Oh, a hiatus---I hope with pay.
Send you one? You mean you send me one.
They aren't exactly easy to get either. Sometimes they have them and sometimes they don't. Same with the Culebras---darn it. [huh]:eusa_doh:

JdN Fuerte.
Bob, give a fuerte a try, they have a lot of the flavor without all the strength of the corojo. They're pretty cheap as well, I'll probably be grabbing another box or two.

James is going to have something to say.....
The first 1/4 to 1/2 of it was harsh but then the flavor kicked in. It seemed to burn kinda quick but coulda been due to sitting out by the fire lol. I would put the Perdomo Patriarch above it though. I don't know how long you let that one rest but the first puff on it was excellente and I kept it til I couldn't hold it anymore.

Anyone try the Gurkha Spec Ops? I can get the cigars/humidor/knife set pretty cheap and the travel humidor seems like decent quality...

Xikar Criollo, these are well made. Smooth wrappers and razor sharp burn.
