Today's Smoke (2004-2022 Archive)

Camacho Ecuador Toro

I bought this to celebrate submitting my first story for publication. (IT will take four weeks to know.) I should have went with the Nica Rustica. This thing had decent flavor, but there wasn't a whole lot going on. A pretty boring smoke in my opinion.

Plus, WTF IS THIS! It happened twice. It tunneled and then dropped burning hot ash down the front of my shirt.

I'm waiting on a 5er of UC Corona Vivas right now. Ordered them with the hopes that they're a little stronger than the UC Gran Toro with which I'm familiar. Do you have a preference?

To me the Corona is the best vitola for that line of cigars.

How does it compare to the No 9 in terms of flavor and strength? Does it bridge the (to me) noticeable gap between the two? I have a preference for the No 9, but UCs are much cheaper!

What an odd collection of carpet tiles you have there.

Yeah, they are perfect for the porch - sister in law had a bunch of samples left over and I made a rug out of them. As they get worn I just pull out one square and replace it.

Good to The. Last. Draw.

you better believe it. I'll be buying a few more.

Such a pretty stick. Seamless and smooth, tasted great too.

I've been waiting patiently to get my hands on one of these.

Pairing this up with a Flemish sour ale. I'll post a pic of the bottle later.

I learned today that I passed the bar exam. There will be at least one follow-up cigar and at least five follow-up bourbons.

Undercrown Corona Viva all the way. Or the regular Undercrown with at least 6 months to a year rest in my humi.

Tat Tuesday!! Thanks @OtismyMan!! 5 left from Steve and Dougie!! Oh noooooo.

Pretty sure this is thanks to @Russ622, but I'll be honest and say I'm not sure. Thank you to whomever blessed me with another one of these!

Home roll, WLT Azucarodo Oscuro blend. Lighter than I like.
