Perfecdraw to the rescue again! This is a La Flor de Filipinas Maduro Torpedo, i like them as yardgars when I'm working in the garden and they actually have a very good flavour but oh that burn. Normally I would relight one over and over again till I tired of it but one good deep poking with our favourite new tool and this one burned perfectly all the way down. I even had some left when I'd finished repotting and it was still going.

Must have paid for itself by now then?

In saved cigars, probably yes

Long session

Had a non forum friend over for three hours this afternoon so smoked this big Bolivar that I found lurking in my box of Belicoso Finos, the band suggests was pre-2002 if I'm reading the Cuban Cigars website right. Anyway it was delicious, smooth and mild with several flavour transitions. The burn was perfect and no massive amount of vitamin N.

Because the sun was shining and we were both at a loose end we followed them up with Upmann Epicures because he'd never heard of them but might want to buy some (he does now)

Interesting. Reyes seem to be a popular choice. Not so the others

The Reyes are a really nice smoke and it's true that they are a favorite among a lot of smokers. VR I like a lot too, especially the discontinued Clasicos.

As for the NC's, not really my cup of tea. I only smoke a handful each year. That Opus X sure looks good and all my US buddies are raving about them.
