It must be Christmas beacause I've had not one......but two cigars today.
First was a Siglo III while walking the dog. It was a little plugged but still OK. Now I'm having a ERDM Choix Supreme.

So i smoked a Tatuaje Havana VI for my Christmas cigar...or rather, I tried to. This particular stick was horribly constructed (it was the petite lancero, not sure what Pete calls it, it has a little pigtail)--the wrapper cracked all over and it was very nearly plugged. I stick with it despite the grass and char flavor and hard draw, hoping that it would open up eventually and knowing that I wouldn't get another change to smoke today (plus it's not cheap). Sadly, it didn't open up until the very last inch--I literally had to relight a dozen times or more.

That last inch had the same awesome flavors as the first Tat red that I smoked, and so it made the ordeal almost worth it, and at least I got a nice finish out of it. So yea, very disappointing...anyone else had troubles with these? It's at least 2 months old and has been well maintained at 65-68% rH.

Sat outside with the firepit and enjoyed a Rafael Gonzalez from ABR '02

Very nice. The last half was extremely tasty!!!

Broke out a pair of Opus RDC's I'v had sitting almost a year and smoked them with a good friend. First two out of the box, they were good as expected, but need more time to peak.
