MOW Armada box press

Was that part of a sampler?

Re: What cigar did you smoke today V?
 

Yep that it was. It was a single stick in the box press sampler. Pretty good. I preferred it to the regular Armada.

Esteban Carreras 10 Anos. Never heard of this one before, but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Do you remember which size? Grand reserva by Fuente is a general term for several different individual cigars.

Since you seem like you're new, maybe give the Fuente 858 in either natural or maduro a try. For the price, those are very good cigars. Hell, I've been smoking cigars since 1996, and that one is still in my rotation because it never disappoints me.

Rocky Patel Rosado. Very good smoke, actually- 1st one of these I've had.

Re: What cigar did you smoke today V?
 

umm the label only had Gran Reserva on it. it was roughly bout 7" in length and had a green wrapper on the foot of the cigar. if that helps.

next time i visit the shop i'll see if they have the Fuente 858.

I am trying to see which ones go well with scotch at the moment. lol

i have a bottle of Grants 12 year and a bottle of Glen Fiddich 12 year that i like to drink.

That sounds like a Churchill. The green banded ones generally use the same blend, but are in different sizes. The ones with the black bands, like the Fuente Don Carlos and the Fuente Hemingway, are a different blend. Now here's where it gets complicated. You will find the ones with the black ribbon at the foot. Those are the sungrown wrapper, and are pretty spicy in flavor, but IMO very good. Red ribbon at the foot like the Fuente Fuente OpusX, and some rosado wrapper selections like the hard to find rosado 858 and rosado Hemingway, are top shelf cigars, but if you try an OpusX for the first time, make sure you eat a full meal before you smoke it, because those babies are full bodied and strong.

Fuente is one of my favorite non-Cuban brands, and they make a lot of cigars. Getting to know which one is which can be confusing!

Re: What cigar did you smoke today V?
 

Still my favorite RP smoke. Good spice and a great wrapper. Thanks for the reminder - will fire one up now!
