I just fired up a Juan Lopez No2 with a glass of red wine.

[Lee Nub]

I'm sat in the garden in the pitch black posting from my blackberry smoking a cohiba secreto, and boy is it good

[cj121]

Both sounding very nice there lads

Had a NUB Torpedo (Habano) earlier. Smoked fine but really should have left it in the lovenest a tiny bit longer. It's always tempting to fire a 'not had before' cigar up when they've arrived though.

Can't say I have ever had a decent Nub, but thats only my taste...

Had a Fuente 898...great ciger from a box that I got a couple of years ago...

[Paulie]

Cedros No3 for me again. Only got four more to go and thats the box gone, more room in the humi too.

Today was my wonky burning cigar day .

Had a RASCC (not yours CJ , this came from one of the Swiss internet shops) where the wrapper/binder just wouldn't burn; it kept tunneling and turning off every inch or so. I wasted so much time trying to keep this going that I didn't really notice the taste of the stick .

To make up for that I lit an Epi 2 which was better but needed touching up quite a few times. Not bad though.

One of those days I suppose .

[skyhigh]

had a monte 4 and a hoyo coronation tube. both had their problems but put this down to the fact that it ain't stopped pissing down all day and too much moisture in the air.

What a bugger Alberto. It almost feels like a missed experience when that kind of thing happens ay? Leaves one feeling quite unfulfilled, what, what.

And similarly for you too Sky : (

There's always tomorrow

[Carrot]

I popped into asda to pick up a few smokes earlier this evening and purchased a few things I'd never tried before including a few Villager premium tubo which I fired up earlier.

I was not expecting too much from this cigar but when I finished it I was satisfied, so overall a good smoking experience. I'm new to cigar smoking and look forward to trying many more varieties. I hope to put in an order with cigar.com next month and try a few more that I've not sampled before.

A Hombre with Fine Taste!

My Man!

Absolutely a great stock Stick...a must in any aficionado's humidor.

I always have a box of two in the ready.

What wrapper did you enjoy - natural, maduro, or the Claro?

[TJCoro]

Almost forgot....

Enjoying a fine Montecristo Edmundo!

This evening I enjoyed a H.Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009

[Big J]

On my drive to work a Partagas Short gifted to me by jdawg. Great little Stick!

I had a day trip to Berlin with a couple of friends. The flights cost, 2p, yes, 2p.

I hunted down the Casa in Berlin. I failed to get any pictures, sorry.

It is a nice place but I certainly would not suggest making a special point of going. The cigars are a little cheaper in comparison to the UK, but nothing amazing. A Hoyo DC is about eighteen euros. You pay the same in pounds in Sautters in London but usually about twenty two quid around London.

Whilst there I purchased two of the Bolivar 5at Avenida German Regional Edition cigars. There are two German RE's being launched in 2009. The 5at Avenida is a "109" format. That is a double robusto (50x184).

The other German RE is the Especiales No.2, a delicados format. That is a long panetela (38x192). I did not buy any of these, they did not look very exciting to me. Jimmeh and I will try the 5at Avenida and report back soon.

Whilst there I smoked the H.Upmann Magnum 48 Limited Edition 2009. It was ok, about as much of a non-event as the Magnum 46 I tried a few weeks back. I hope the Magnum 50 is more interesting.
