A Ramon Allones Small Club Corona at Tom Tom Cigars in Belgravia, London.

Love those. You've inspired me to have one in my lounge. Thank you.

A RyJ Wide Churchills, light, smooth, creamy, lots of smoke. Fruity and floral, I like the taste a lot. But at Gague 54, it is too bloody big for my mouth, its quite ridiculous !

I envy you all today...been struggling with the "man flu" and just don't want to risk wasting a stick

RyJ No3 Tubos, box of 25 from holiday this year, they are now smoking very nicely thanks to PuffScotty's advice, shame to only have 3 left, bit of aging for them i think.

I had a little celibration today, last night I booked our 20yr delayed Honeymoon, to Cuba. Turned out to be nearly 50% more than I was expecting & then work tried to change my rota after confirming it at the begining of the month
Any after 2hrs of shovelling snow this morning & got down the cafe & tried a Hoyo Depute 2001. After the last couple I crossed these off as I was very disappointed with them, nothing but cedar woody flav.
However this one proved to be a totally different stick altogether. A strongrich flav for a Hoyo, whether it is just the age or better tobbaco, I don't know but if the other 5 are as good , guess I'll keep them after all.
Followed up with a R&J Robusto 2001, never had one before & had high hopes but to be honest it was rather ordinary. Not much depth for a well aged LE.

Well seeing as i had no hope of getting to la casa teddington for the xmas herf were im sure the guys are loving it smoking some fine puros, decided to try my first BHK the 54 i have to be honest it was not the most complex cigar ive had but i bloody enjoyed it super smooth and creamy with a unique flavour, for me i really enjoyed it paired with a bottle of Nuit Saint Georges 1997 red ah now what to smoke next im feeling good tonight so dont intend on stopping there im off to the humis to decide

[mackem keith]

Come on guys there must be some serious smoking going on out there being black eye friday and all.. picked out a romeo duke EL 09 after the fantasic BHK and it is superb these cigars are one of my all time favorites a great cigar good flavour good size and feels great in the hand paired it with a couple of large ron zacapa 23yo good times

Kids are at the grandparent so we've fired up some fizz and we're watching LOVE ACTUALLY (THE greatest Xmas movie EVER!) and I've had a Monte Sublime and one of Kdot's SigloIVs

I was away to play Nazi Zombies but my XBox has red-ringed (again) grrrr..........

I agree with you 100% Simon...for such a gorgeous looking smoke these have been boring as buggery!!!

[Simon Bolivar]

And the Monte Sublime was like... (I have just one, wondering if it's worth firing up yet or do you see improvement with furhter aging ?)

Shopping and JL No2

Did some Xmas shopping yesterday

Still found time to enjoy a couple of JL No2 throughout the day though.

The Sublime is utterly gorgeous now! Apart from when they were released (too new) I've loved every one of them and I'm on my 3rd box.

Cheers for the recommend Stevie, guess I'll find an opportunity to burn it in the not too distant future.
