pnoon's what cigar did you smoke today VII?

DPG Black Toro - black coffee and a little DPG action to accompany my morning studies/homework. The Black blend is a personal favorite but seems to shine *so* much more as a robusto. As a toro it's a little less intense, but hey it's also a longer smoke so who is keeping score? (I am, actually, and Robusto still wins)
On a side note, does anyone have an idea as to how I could convince DPG to make this blend as a corona? I think it would smoke *spectacularly* in that vitola.

Originally, there was a tre petite corona called the Perla and a petite lancero. They were, hands down, the best of the Black Labels. They were discontinued years ago for some reason. They aged beautifully.

Thanks for that info NC! Yeah those both sound like they would have been perfect for the blend, unfortunately it seems like larger ring gauges seem to be the "in" thing these days but it's a crying shame when blends that shine in smaller gauges get those gauges axed. To add further insult to injury, they make a DPG Blues in corona format!
I wonder if enough people were to start a petition or somehow promise to buy x amount of boxes, if we could get DPG to do a special limited run? Personally my preference would be something like a standard traditional corona or maybe even a lonsdale...

Oh and btw this morning I smoked a....

HC Criollo Toro - wonderful cigar, would recommend to anyone that loves a good Criollo blend!
