Taking advantage of the nice weather and sitting out with a Rocky Patel Edge Maduro in the toro vitola. One of the most consistent, well made, smoothest full-bodied cigars that I have come across for around $5.

Damn damn damn, the problem with having two humidors is that sometimes you forge one of them.

I have been carefully tending my 'Cuban' humidor and forgot my 'NC' humidor with the result that when I went to select a George's reserve for my pleasure this PM I find that the humidity is way down and now I need some re-moisturising before I can enjoy it.

I was really looking forward to one too.

Must be rocky patel day today, just finished a rp ITC 10th. Very enjoyable. Still plenty of time to sneak something else in later too.

No worries, mate

Go ahead and smoke it nic. The Reserve is a very forgiving stogie, well-made, and durable. When you say "way down" as long as it was in a reasonable range, say 60% or better, your Reserve will be just fine. Trust me on this.

had my first ever JL2 courtesy of a swap with Stevieboy. Hand on heart i found the midlle very enjoyable, coffee and caramel medium bodied but i have to admit towards the end it got quite spicy. Maybe i need to give it a better go when my chest/asthma settles, having just had the swine flu vaccine and been laid up for 2 days with feckin migraine did'nt help none.

Sorry Stevieboy oh master of the JL2 fanclub, i promise to pick my time better when i next light one up

Just enjoyed an excellent, young (May 09) Trinidat Robusto T at JJF. Smoked it down to a nub and loved it (another one for the 'boxes to buy' list).

Had a great conversation with Stephan from the forum and look forward to his write-up on Jeans choice of stick for him. She was a fountain of knowledge today talking about ageing NC's and freezing all new sticks for 2 weeks.

Looking forward to a Padron 80th Anv in a bit....must do the kids tea first...

[Big_T_UK]

Was annoyed today that I could not meet Monkey and the other at JJ Fox today. Say at home, job hunting and bored looking at a totally empty weekend for the first time in a long time. I resorted to smoking in the kitchen and having a drink.

I had a NUB Habano and finished my first bottle of Puerto Rican Bacardi 151 proof (75.5%). Interesting combo, both strong.

Been smoking mostly Dominicans all week.Aurora 1495 series earlier was a good little smoke, for 5 euros.

Bah, missed this post Rok and now it's too late. Was at about 62% too so I would have been OK. Thanks for the feedback Rok, I shall enjoy it shortly.

I have the full house tonight. I have just fired up a Punch Double Corona with a glass of red wine.

[Lee Nub]

Le Hoyo du Depute for me. Beautiful! Hoping the others I have live up to this one.

Just placed an order for a box of JL #1...a box split with CJ.. Love them too

[Robusto]

First RASS from a box I bought at the Partagas factory on holiday. A beautiful smoke to round off a God awful week at work.
