Well nobody else has one up yet but I've just smoked my Flor de las Antillas by My Father and my god, it was a beautiful smoke. I made the mistake of smoking on an empty stomach unfortunately and only managed to just break the final third before I had to give in. These are going on my to buy list though. It started off very powerful and spicy and settled down very quickly into one of the nicest smokes I've had so far.

Plus as Sean and others have said, the band is beautiful.
I snapped a few pictures, will get them up in a bit.

edit: fuck, forgot to put the year.

Flor de las Antillas can have a bit of a kick so watch these on an empty stomach. Chocolate or a sweet drink helps and counteracts the nicotine.

Yeah I munched a penguin and drank some orange squash but had to concede defeat in the final third. Next time I'm going in on a full stomach and nubbing it, that stick was all kinds of delicious.

The toro was the first one to affect me, empty stomach and a cup of tea and three hours of my life lost incapacitated. Gorgeous cigar though.

Mine was the Robusto, I sat in the garden with a pint of orange squash and then spent an hour lying on the sofa munching a penguin bar regretting not eating earlier. Hopefully I'll get a semi decent bonus this quarter and it may go towards my first box.

I've had the robusto sitting in the bottom of my humidor for months summoning up the courage to give it another go!

Been piping it again today. Both GK blends first was a chocolate and vanilla, second was a Rum and honey. Think I prefer the bagpipers dream though.

Like the Corncob Matty and the Ashtray .... the JYC is the business though!

RyJ Short Churchills .... not one of my favourite cigars, but due where due's deserved this one was reasonably OK until the last third when ? typically for these days ? it became an RyJ in band only .... what have Habanos done to this brand?

Nice ashtray Matt, very patriotic!

I had one of these from about the same year in JJs last year and loved it. Lovely 'clean' white peppery taste if my memory serves.
ENJOY!

Unfortunately this one was plugged

I did get that pepper though!
