Well, just arrived back from Toulouse in the south-west of France organising wedding stuff :S Now just sitting out on the deck enjoying my first ever Padron 2000 Maduro and a Dr Pepper. The scent off the foot of the cigar was unreal, cacao - very strong. Great cigar so far, definitely not a Cuban, whole different flavour altogether, but I guess that goes without saying!

Update - Half way through now: Earthy, and peppery when allowing it to seep out the nose. Great burn, razor sharp. The aftertaste is long and very chocolaty with a bit of coffee.

P.S. Checked out the duty free prices for cigars at Toulouse Airport and at Geneva and wasn't very impressed. Certainly cheaper than UK prices, so if I was heading back to the UK I probably would have picked a few up, but otherwise....no. haha

Great stuff Chris! Brilliant smoke aren't they! I totally concur with everything you're finding in it too,might have another one myself tonight Well I've started off what I hope will feel like a very long week off with a Brick House Short Torp.Nice enough flavours,very mild and definitely an early part of the day cigar,I'd say.Undecided as to whether or not I'd spring on a box,it was only a single so I'd probably want to try a couple more I suppose.

Yeh definitely a great cigar, I smoked it very slowly, I think it needs this as the one I had burnt fairly hot. Haha you'll have to get another box soon, you're getting through them!! I haven't ever heard of the cigar you are having....but hope you are enjoying it

Finishing off the evening with a Dip 4....not looking forward to work tomorrow....oh well, just have to enjoy the 'now'!

After quite a tough day today spent a nice hour sitting in the evening sun with a Dippy 4 and a pint of fat coke watching and listenign to the local Goldfinches chattering and feeding in my garden.

I'm at peace again.

Out for dinner with a friend I don't see often, so enjoyed myself. An El Rey Del Mundo but wish I'd brought atleast another cigar with me.
