Depends on the mood. I will pick whatever I think is appropriate to the situation and who's involved. Tough one there.

Personally, I like cuabas as a change up cigar. They are not strong or powerful, but I do like the light flavours I get from them. I prefer the Exquisitos and Salamone. It is not hard to find aged stuff as they are not that popular.

Thanks. I know it was a bit long, but I haven't done a review in a while, soooo I overdid it heh.

I don't even want to venture a guess, just think of it as over 50. That is one of those "I have too much time, and a lot of love for my cigar collection " kind of questions heh ;D

J. Fuego- met & drank with him in Nicaragua on the rooftop of the hotel Las Arcos. Great shit! He was fun to talk to, listened to advice and constructive criticism, and drank with the "boys".

Started with Colts and White Owls at the bars and golfing when I was about 19ish, then one day thought I would get a real cigar to just give'er a whirl. Bought an Upmann Corona Major in the old silver tube, and was blissfully aware of the nuances that good tobacco can give you. Didn't really...

Canonazos from Hotel Conde de Villanueva 6.25x52 Start: 9 pm Finish: 11:10 Prelight: sweet tobacco, barnyard. Draw: 6/10 a bit deliberate, but not snug yet Initial impressions on lighting: Sweet, creamy, light straw flavour, buttery almost vanilla like sweetness. Hints of honey. Medium...

Corona Gorda for me. Robusto close second. Thanks again !

'06 Vegas Robaina Famosos. I cannot think of anything I would rather smoke in the last few months than these...perfect for my palate right now.

Cuba, then Nicaragua. Nicaragua has many more cigars that I buy, but that's a price + quality vs. taste/stick comparison for me. Nica is the king of cigars right now in terms of overall production value on what you buy.

I have had a few more of these in the last few months since I last posted. These cigars with only a month or two on them smoke fantastically, and have a lot of that coffee undertone that you are impressed with. It seems the downside on these is around 4-6 months, as I just lit one up from a May...

Thanks for the review. I am thinking of not touching these for a while, but they are just so inviting...need....help....hands......off.....

I really want one of those DE ashtrays too ! My other wish would be an air purifier that actually works...

Thanks DE. Love the fact that you guys are still keeping in contact with us all on here. Much love. I will take the T52 Robusto over anything else DE. Love me some T52's. Those were my first cigar where I could pick out the white pepper deliciousness that I have been looking for in everything...

I am not trying to steal your post, just wanted to post up some pics that I never did get around to when I went...too lazy sheesh! http://www.flickr.com/photos/58685075@N02/sets/72157632268729153/

Just had my first H Upmann Half Corona today, and MAN IS IT GOOD FRESH. I don't know how long this box will last, but damn ! They remind me of the Upmann EE. Lots of flavor, GOOD FLAVOR !

I did that trip in Jan of 2010. It was fantastic ! We never got to do the coffee plantation thing, that is new, but the trip itself all around can't be beat. Colin is very knowledgeable, and knows the factories. He is helpful, and patient as well, which is nice. The blending at Plasencia is...

Those are beautiful :inlove:

There wasn't a roller working when I was there, but the darker wrapped custom cigars rolled for the La Casa del Habanos in the hotel Conde de Villenueva are amazing ! Highly recommended if anyone is ever there ! I wish I would have read this thread before I went to Havana, but oh well, I have no...
