I smoked a very enjoyable '01 Diplomatico #2 I got from Sgresso in the November lotto today.

I rarely smoke a cigar with a RG larger than 46 so this was quite the change of pace.

Pretty enjoyable, thanks bro.

What are you guys smoking today?

I had an '03 HdM du Prince after lunch today. I enjoyed this very much. It was not too heavy but had plenty of taste for an after lunch smoke. The only drawback was a slightly firm draw.

I didn't get a chance to post this one yesterday so here it goes.

I have been sitting on 4 special NC's from my Secret Santa (The Searcher) and finally got the chance to try one last night. I believe they are all custom rolled from the Cigar Factory in Mesa, AZ and all are rolled with 10-15 year old leaf.

I smoked the 6x52 Torpedo tonight. This is one great cigar! The draw on this baby was perfect. It reminded me of a Choix Supreme which is one of my favorites. It had that smooth and creamy cuban characteristic about it. It was definetly the closest NC I've had that smoked like a cuban. I can't wait to try the other 3. Thanks Jerry!!!

Todd you need to try yours and see if you get the same feeling.

Basically un-fuggin believable. EASILY worth the $40 F.M.V. and that's a high number compared to what they should go for. In my top 10 ever; easily.

Very nice Craig! I figured they would have went higher than $40 per stick :dunno: Either way, we all live vicariously through you :thumbsup:

Did a Fuente family comparison yesterday, all maduros: AF Double Chateau, Montesino Gran Corona, and Sosa Governor, all fairly large sticks made by Fuente and priced within about half-a-buck of each other. The Double Chateau kicked ass, especially in terms of holding its flavor to the end. Interestingly, on a price per inch or ounce basis, it was probably the best buy.

I stopped by the shop Mithshrike and Searcher have been raving about and picked up a couple of his locally rolled smokes. I had a robusto, not sure what it was - looked like a maduro wrapper, medium body...not bad.
