Just finished enjoying a La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte Toro.

Very good smoke! Smoke was plentiful but not so thick as to overwhelm. Excellent flavor and solid construction. Bit of wavering burn but not bad... nothing out of hand. I definitely enjoyed this one.

Max, is there anything you could compare it to? Any other smoke like it?

I says it's close to the 5 Vegas AAA & the Diesel Unholy Cocktail...all three are AJ Fernandez blends. :2

Those are similar... Not quite the same... but pretty similar. I think the smoke is a bit smoother than those. Both of those feel a little thicker than the LHC. I wouldn't use the term harsh... that's not quite right, but they aren't quite as well... smooth as the LHC. The flavors are similar but the LHC has more of the baking spice flavor with a bit less of the sweet cocoa... kind of a dry cocoa. It's not as predominant. Also a bit more floral strength in it.

Think the Diesel UC and AAA with slight changes to the strength of certain flavors and smoother smoke.

Sorry... I'm not very good at reviewing or putting these tastes and textures into writing.

La Aurora 107 Robusto.
Pretty tasty stick. More flavorful than the "regular" La Auroras.
I got about 2/3 into it and a pesky wasp was flying in my area.. so i got the wasp spray, sprayed the wasp............ and my La Aurora. So I didn't get to finish it.

Had a CAO Criollo rubusto and it hit the swet tooth spot. If you like sweet and hints of citrus then you'll love this one! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's definitely a medium / medium stick - which is out of character for me. It felt "light" almost airy... But sweet and citrusy. Not a constant annoying sweet... But a hint that just tempts the palate for more. I would call this stick "refreshing." it was well complimented by my Jefferson Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout beer.

I later smoke a Padilla 1932 torpedo. It has been a while since I smoked a 1932 torpedo (usually get rubustos) and I was disappointed until the very middle of the second third. I don't recall the start to this stick being so "blah" and thin smoked... Perhaps it is a dud or the shape interfering with the smoke. Either way it wasn't doing well until the middle of the second third. That's when the flavor started rolling. Unfortunately I had to toss it as we were leaving the park to head home. Thankfully I have more torpedos at home and I'll try another in a few days to see if this one today was a dud.

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Petite Corona

Pretty darn good smoke to end the day. Sat under my carport and watched the lightning show of a summer storm that passed through. Wanted a short smoke and this one did the trick. About 45mins of goodness. Learned to smoke smaller RG slower to avoid bitterness and heat.

Today, I had three, cause it's the weekend. My first cigar of the day was an Anejo No. 46 at Neptune's B&M. If any of you guys are around in Miami and are done visiting Little Havana's factories, I suggest you drop by here, it's definitely a nice lounge. The second cigar of the day was a Padron 1964 Principe Maduro in my porch. My last cigar of the day was a Padilla Miami Robusto.

not as much as you'd think. i'll post up a review later.

BIG time pepper kick to start. thought it was going to live up to its name. almost killed me, literally. but that disappeared to a nice nutty/coffee profile. full flavored, but not ass kickingly strong

not as complex as the DES or robusto, but very enjoyable.

Thats a big Rg cigar!!
4.75x60... Pretty much out of my comfort zone on ring gauge.... I'll stick with 54 and lower.
Good cigar though.

Started off the day with an Illusione 888. Had a real kick of peppery spice at the beginning and then really mellowed out. Had a couple of burn issues... and it did tunnel a bit - which I corrected. It also had a hard spot that affected the draw about midway through. A gentle bit of pressure around it just under the cherry fixed it.

It was an enjoyable smoke... but a bit too mellow at times. I could not place my finger on most of the flavors. I'll have to get more to try later.
