I think i'm gonna pull the trigger on one of my Don Carlos Edicion de Anniversario double robustos tonight. Next to the few habanos i have, those are my prized posessions. Just gotta get the kid in bed by 9 pm cuz the wife's out of town. I know it'll smell up the house a little, but i've got 2 days to get rid of the smell before she's back.

If not that, then maybe one of the Oliva Serie V Torpedo's i picked up on Sat. Got the last 3 they had along with the last Opus X Petit Lancero they had, my first. Also got 4 Torano Noventas that i think are like a Toro size. I've only had one of those and it was 'bout 2 years ago. i dont' remember it at all. I do know it was a robusto.

What you all smoking?.

On the porch, working on a tan. It's about 70 and breezy this afternoon, listening to Jimmy Buffet and smoking a Padilla Achilles. I love Sunday afternoons when I don't have anything to do!

Must be nice to sit outside! 3 degrees out right now in the suburbs of Detroit! I took the "smokin" car for a ride and burned an Olivia G series Cameroon. First one I had and I would buy more of these.:smokingbo

Had a RASS from '06. It still needed time in the humidor, but was enjoyable.

I had a monte petite edmundo from a trade (thanks Jetexas). I love this stick. I know Monti's historically need age, but I really love their robustos (no matter the size)

No age at all. I just couldn't wait. I'm new to these so I'm doing a little sampling. A little mild, but still a great smoke.

Ramone Allones 898v from '02 on the drive back from NY....nice. Also smoked a Padilla 8&11 Torpedo, also very good.

Looking for some decent, not too expensive smokes, and so based on comments here I picked up a Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte and an Oliva Serie O (among other things) at the B&M. The SP (a short robusto) was a lot better than I thought it would be. Nice taste, not harsh at all, lots of smoke. I might get a box of these to have for visitors.

The "O" was a crazy surprise though. I love the Vs and wasn't expecting much. This is a very tasty smoke. I was enveloped in a huge cloud of lovely stinkbomb smoke ;-) The petit perfecto size was a really satisfying short smoke. Definitely a finger burner. Yum.

I burned a San Cristobal maestro. Fantastic smoke. San Cristobal never let me down. Also smoked a smoke a small but tasty Joya de Nicaragura. Yum.

I smoked my first RP R4 I just got last week. They probably need a little more time to recover from thier trip, they were frezzing cold when i opened the box. This smoke has a very dark and toothy Maduro Wrapper. Good draw after a few test cuts, I opened it up just fine. I smoked it on the way to the park yesterday morning at about 10:30. Normally this would be way to early for me to grab a stick this dark and of this size, but since I have 20 more of them I wanted to give it a shot. I am very impressed with this stick overall. It had smooth flavors, that I can almost identify, but plenty of smoke and a great burn/custruction. Considering I got them on sale at CI for $45 for 25 including shipping, I would buy these again in a minute at that price. The MSRP is $150, but terriblt inflated as CI bought the entire production of these and can set the MSRP where ever they want. They would still be worth it at $80.

It was freezing yesterday and I didn't head over to the B&M so nothing for me.
