half way through a monte grand edmundo LE 2010 paired with a large ron zacapa sistema solera 23yo

Had a RP vintage 1990 Sixty whilst playing golf badly, the gar lasted 2 hours, longer than me actually having a ball without losing it.

Just had my first SCDLH El Principe from a Big J bomb--excellent little smoke, and goes quite well with a good cup o' joe. Going to start in on a second stick from the bomb--an Alec Bradley Pensado. Looks like a beauty despite its non-Cuban origins.

Not jealous... really not jealous...

Just smoked my first Epicure No. 1!



Sweet, easy, with enough complexity and very rewarding - even to a beginner (yours truly) .

Just had a Nub 358 - never smoked a Nub before but intrigued by the Nub Wars banter. Popped into to Hollingsworth in Brum, bought a few different Cigars, including 2 little Nubs, one very light in colour, 1 darker. Both 358 I think. They look close to 60 RG and not much over 3 inches long. Short and fat: nothing wrong with that!

Very light smoke, creamy and smooth. Good draw and burn. A complete contrast to what I usually smoke but still good. Not sure about the value though at ?9.30.

Is that for each one?

358 is the size bud 3 inches by 58 rg . The cigar band will tell you which you had. La Aurora 107 for me today

What a decadent evening - mackem keith with his EL and 23yo rum, and now you with your Cohiba Robustos and some VC champers.

Has the recession ended and no-one bothered to tell me?

El Principe...excellent little smoke indeed! I have smoked half a box of these babys. Great morning smoke with a cup o' joe!
The Prensado is a nice cigar for an NC, but it's no 898!

It was indeed nice, but you are absolutely right--on the 898 scale, it was something of a 3 or 4.

I had a Party Short for lunch.
For an early evening snack...I just fired up a Vegas Cubanas by Don Peppin Garcia

Great, great cigars! Since I started smoking these I just can't seem to get them out of my head. I must win the lottery and buy a cab.

Buy what you can now people! It's a small cigar, so Habanos will probably delete it in the not too distant future...
