Just had the NUB Habanos today which I was planning on having last night. First NUB I've had and I agree with what others have said on the NUB reviews. Good cigar but the concept is a sales gimmick. Some burn issues but I enjoyed it.

R&J Cazadores just now, like twiglets

[Boss Hog]

Had my first JL2 today.
I think they are definatley for the advanced smoker, unfortunatley I'm not quite there yet but I still got a alot out of it. I would certainly get some more of these once I've clocked up a few more "Smoke Miles" for me to fully appreciated it.
Still it was very nice and I smoked it right up to the nub.

Sancho Panza is a friend of TJ's

You won't believe what I found in TJ's humidor - a N/C!!!

So I decided to help myself and give 'er a go. It was a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Madrid Toro. What a beautiful and distintive cigar. A very unique flavor that was quite pleasing. But since I'm no better than TJ at describe puros, below is how it is described at Famous Smoke -

"This Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Madrid is just one of the hearty selections found in this exciting new, robust blend. All Honduran tobaccos and an extra-rich sun-grown Habana wrapper make this cigar a smooth, full-flavored treat. Like the regular Sanchos? You'll love Extra Fuerte. Order a box now."

I enjoyed this fine stogie while skyping with TJ's 'ol smokin' buddy senor Cohiba IV, who was smoknin' himself a Monty Edmondo. A perfect way to start a Saturday evening.

I will be ordering a box straight away to replace the one I borrowed from TJ.

Hello, My name is BJ, BJCoro, and I'm smokin' TJ's stock while he's off on a vision quest.

Well in the course of today I've enjoyed three with the chaps. Started with a HdM Epi 2, onto a VR Famoso then sparked up a JL2 after some food. All in all a very satisfying day!

Absolutely top, aren't they?

At the Cardiff Herf I too enjoyed an assortment. All washed down the the brilliant Welsh brew, Brains:

I started with a non-Cuban gifted to me by HabanoSy, a very pleasant Leon Jimenes No4. Probably the best stogie of the day. It was a bastard to get lit, but once going it tasted good and burnt/drew very well.

I followed it up a little while later with a Punch Petit Punch bought at the Cardiff cigar store - thought I'd give one a shot whilst I still can... Very smokeable, definitely something I'd try again. It actually had a decent draw, though it didn't offer as much as I was expecting.

Finally, the biggest disappointment of the day... The HdM Epi No2, which I found to be quite uninteresting, almost flat. But worse still, the burn was absolutely awful... Everything I tried didn't work - slowing down, speeding up, rotating, using a lighter again...

Bugger about the burn there Simon.


Today I started off early with a

La Vieja Belicoso Maduro (not my cup of tea, I feel)

Moved on midday to the

Fuente Fuente Opus X (an ok stick which saved it's own grace midway through the second third)

and at a garden get together in the evening, a

Ramone Allones Small Club Corona (doing all the right things)

My first MC EL 2006 Robusto.Very nice cigar indeed and well worth the long time it has spent at the back of the humi.
