Oliva Serie O (Double Toro) for me. Tasty stick that makes little smoke. I'm a bit disappointed with the wrapper through. The leaf came of almost as soon as I pulled it out of the cello... :sad

What? You mean like the wrapper just came right off with the cello and you were just smoking binder and filler? Or was it unravelling?

I've got one of those sitting in the cooler now. Kinda looking forward to trying it. Been on a cheap stick hunt lately.

Steve, 45 for a box of the Chataeu Coronas on CI. I remember getting the conneticuts like 10 years back for around 30. Still not bad for a quick car smoke.

Exactly.

The stick definitely had a good flavor, I'm assuming that it would've been better with the wrapper.

Wow.

You've still got all your sticks in that cooler and everything? Solid RH in there? Can't say I've ever heard of wrapper leaf coming off with the cello.

Yeh. I looked through them all after I smoked it, they all seemed fine. RH is right around 65%. It's the only time something like that has happened to me.

It's been the nicest day of the year so far, so I had:
Arganese Connecticut while doing some yard work
Aging Room Maduro while relaxing on the patio after doing yard work
Oliva MB III with a nice glass of Scotch while watching the sunset with my wife.

11:00 to midnight. ~50 degrees F. I fired up a Drew Estate Java Robusto Latte (CT wrapper) with water on the side. I found the infused part to be distracting from picking up other flavors other than "yep, that's a cigar" (maybe tea, some cinnamon?) The sound of crickets and a few drops of rain were a relaxing end to a Sunday. All noted in a journal to keep tabs on what I would find enjoyable.

Had a Gran Habano Vintage 2002 out of a bundle I recently got in. Not bad, not bad at all. Draw was a little snug on the first 1/3 and they can definitely use some more humi time but still a good, cheap smoke.

Re: What cigar did you smoke today VI?
 
HOO boy, let me take back that previous statement! Cigar was tasting great until about 1/2 inch in when all the flavors just completely dropped off. Seriously, nothing happening there. That lasted for about another inch when this terrible tar, burnt meat and burnt wood/leaves taste developed. I checked the cap and didn't see any tar balls and I was smoking at my usual slow pace, so I don't know what happened. Pitched it at the 1/2 way point. Blech!!!!

First time I've heard of that with an El Centurion. Duds are going to slip through quality control occasionally.

I smoked a Montecristo Monte today and I don't consider it a home run. It was good for the first inch and started getting bitter from there. I won't be getting another. I'm definitely a classic Montecristo person.

I'm sure it was just one of those bum sticks. Just found it really weird that it went from tasting great to nothing to nasty in such a relatively short timeframe. I'll probably buy another before making a final judgement.
