Sod it...RASS it has to beeee

[misterbulgarin]

I really want another RASS. Was great herf with friends, would of been even better on my own with my good mate called SOLACE

Never tried one CJ, but the wrapper certainly looks very nice indeed mate.

Are they Nicaraguan or Domicican?

According to my friend who writes for CA , it's Nicaraguan filler and binder underneath the Colorado wrap Whisk...

Intersting to see it's made by Fonseca!

Yeah Mr. B, I reckon I fell on a good un.

A JLP on the go here. Nor sure which one as it was part of Giulio's stick a stick in '6pack'. I reckon he's dyscalculic

I've tried to track this stick down, but gave up after a couple of searches: it's 145mm inside leg, with a 42-44 waist, white label. Mr Bulgar-JLP-rin will hopefully be along soon to help me identify what I'm smoking. Giulio's off-line at the mo'.

Early night for me..got to drive down to the big smoke in the morning for work..

SO! for a night cap.......

A Siglo III....Hmmm

[cj121]

Nice way to send yourself off into the land of nod mate. Enjoy.
Not sure what's next here

So far:

Don Ramos Corona. Nice cigar, good burn and a nice taste definitely cubanesque in flavour. One of my Tranter Club selections for August.

Next was a Don Kiki Red Label torpedo. The usual excellent draw and clouds of smoke. A little awry in burn but settled itself by halfway. Quite peppery upon light up but grew more mainstream in flavour as the smoke developed.

I will end on a Tabacaleri Esteli "Vegas" Robusto.

Was that the Colorado Red label Al? Heard good thing about them.

I'm getting down to a JL2, but there's some damage to the wrapper, so having give it some loving as we go along

After my recent Punch Mold discovery, an RASS for me

[cptspaulding]

Just had my first RASS - only had the one in the humi - beautiful , felt strong but very smooth, great ash , great draw - at this moment i feel this i snow my favourite to date - came straight indoors and ordered a full box. Class.

[cj121]

A RASStastic night for many then. Nice

I've just finished off my last R&J Short Churchill... now the objective is not to buy any more of these. Something about them always makes me come back to them, but I should be exploring other cigars!

Cracking evening at a colleague's 30th birthday do. Held at a rugby club with lots of space outside. Lots of cigarette smokers () so there were usually plenty of people outside relaxing.

I decided to try the RyJ Cedros No3 that had been sitting in my humi for a good few months. No photos unfortunately (was having far too good a time). It was very pleasant, a slight sweetness, tempered by a reasonable strength. Excellent appearance, good draw (nice little bit of resistance). Had a couple of burn issues, but nothing too drastic. A couple of nice comments about the aroma from bystanders too.

Got a nice comment from another colleague (having only been back for about a month - I also worked a month at Christmas). He came over just as I was about to leave and said (as well as I can remember): "Good to have you back. You just quietly get on with everything, enjoy the banter and when you come out with something it's usually a classic. You nailed the shoplifters this afternoon...* Then, Navy-boy, you stand there, drinking away and suddenly you light up a cigar and just stand there cool as a cucumber. You're like James f*cking Bond..."

Awesome. What a comment!

*Yep, rugby tackled some scum this afternoon as they tried the old five finger discount.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the RyJ C3. I always have a stock of them in a humi. I find them a good easy cigar to have anytime of the day. I enjoy the woodyness(sp!) of them.

[Simon-JG-hr]

Woodyness, woodiness... who's bothered.

Good shout on that. There was something I was getting that I couldn't quite put my finger on (was concentrating on the conversation as much as anything), but woodiness is exactly what it was.
