Starting my favourite day of the week with a good old Saint Luis Rey Serie A.

About halfway through a cab of 50 from late 2009 and I can honestly say that I have loved everyone. Full of fruit and cinnamon...marvelous.


Hope everyone has a good weekend and keeps warm....Cheers.

Yeah, I watched that review too...my new ambition in life is to drink as much as they do!

I must admit to liking most of the SLR line so I am a bit biased...I know they are not everyone's cup of tea but I love the way that the whole line really only tastes like a Saint Luis Rey and not like any other Cuban...If that makes sense? Anyway...For what it's worth I love the Serie A's, DC's and the PC's.

Cheers.

hmmm, interesting smoke the salomone, sort of... felt very old school in flavours - strong, bit of licorice but apart from that just serious tobacco - bit tight for half way or so, somewhat wavery burn... can't really recommend it unless your looking for something very different from the normal cuban goodness... dunno, anyone else had one and got thoughts on these?

Nothing today getting a sore throat so im moving onto copious amounts of vodka with a dash of tea in it.

Managed to squeeze in a Romeo No.3 before the snow sets in!

Kindly gifted by JOAO LA PEZ. Thanks Jon - a lovely smoke

We braved the cold and the bloody snow and retired to our yes its not OUR shed.

She had yet another of my hoyo de dauphin and i had what i would rate as the only good Gurkha the park avenue 44 its not a complicated or expensive cigar about $3 a stick but its good and consistent and i was happy when i got another one in a trade as i smoked my last a few weeks ago.
