My first cigar of 2009...

...was a piss-ass, no nothing - cheap as she goes, €6.60 for a pack a ten: Balmoral Highlands Senoritas...and you know what? It' was a helluva lot better than I thought it would be, a good glass of red wine will bring salvation to the worst of souls in the world of cigars...just a great cheap cigar experience...in a year destined to credit crunched sticks...dub

Balmoral was a cigar I smoked a lot when I just got into smoking. My pick was the Dominican selection corona, very reasonable priced.

My SECOND cigar of 2009 was just that...a Bally Dom Select Corona (5 mins ago)...the pack I bought was a bit dried out...but I placed it in my homemade humidor two days ago and already greatly improved...but now I'm gonna smoke some Latakia....in an Italian pipe!..dub

I smoked a wonderful partagas short and was just as expected. Wonderful. I wished I chose something larger, those shorts only last 30 mins hence the name lol.

I smoked a '01 Punch Double Corona in hopes that this year will be as enjoyable and grand in scale as this smoke.

I just finished a DPG Series JJ Maduro. It certainly lived up to all the good reviews I have read about.

I had a Cuaba Exclusivo from 2006. Not bad but not great yet it was the perfect size for the moment.
