With a place like that, why would you want to go anywhere else?

Stunning location! May I add it to me bucket list?.

Perro, el Perro

I know I live out in the sticks surrounded by lovely country pubs ,open fires and very fine ale yet I find myself alone in my conservatory smoking my cigars connecting with people on a forum via tapatalk on my telephone . Sad really

Partagas Princess .... great tasting cigar out there in the fading daylight, but had to be prodded and massaged right till the end .... and in the last picture you can see why.

My last one of what will be a sorely missed vitola, one of the best cheapies ever IMO.

Even a cheapie should be free of woodwork though, that's a big old stalk T

That does look perfect, and as you say, such a shame you can't light up and have a smoke by that lovely fire.

It smoked John, but only just. I knew there was something at the head because massaging wasn't softening it away .... but you're right, a careless Torcedor messed up my afternoon!

Completely agree, I sit in my conservatory and smoke while on my phone. :0(

Got a Regius Robusto I got from a Regius trade with Joey Gunz. Stronger than the Campana but same taste, burn was all over the place haha nice smoke though.

I'm returning to the CA Top 25 of 2013. No.22, La Palina Classic Toro, is "considerably nutty, bright and tangy, with a light chocolate finish."

It was really nice. Nothing spectacular, but I'd give it 'bright and tangy' - bit peppery at times, but nothing overpowering. It had a nice smell and the burn was even-ish. Not sure I'd say it was nutty. Not sure about the chocolate finish either. Neither comment is a fault because I enjoyed the overall flavour of the cigar and it could just be my poor sense of taste.

My one criticism (I really am out of my depth here) is that it felt badly rolled. When I squeezed the cigar gently, bits of it felt half empty, like there was nothing under the wrapper. I'm assuming that's not normal? However, it looked good - nice and silky, hardly a blemish.

All in all, though, it was a decent cigar which I would like to smoke again.

It shouldn't feel half empty, that's bad rolling. But if you enjoyed it, so what, are you likely to buy another?
