No it was a triple maduro but it was dark and my camera couldn't handle the reflective silver in the label. I had to take the picture off to the side.Quote:

If you like them I can tell you which shop around rochester still has a box or two left. Personally I like them better than the new band ones, but it could be the age on them already.Quote:

Started this morning with an unbanded from @AndyCAYP that was pretty good but I have no idea what it was

Back 9 was a Curly Head Deluxe that's been camped out for a little while in the wino

Finishing up the night with a Caldwell Last Tsar Belicoso courtesy of @Bernardini for my lucky win in the NCAA bracket contest :poke:
That was a great smoke Andy, thank you sir
Saturday's single, a real sweet smoke.
Waited until I could be sure of uninterrupted time to smoke this. Viaje Oro Fuerza...5x52. This cigar amply rewarded the wait over the time smoked. A triple band should've been overkill,however they worked stylish not flashy. Removed the orange silken foot warmer prior to using a guillotine cut of the cap then lighted the cigar. By the way the smell of the cigar more than lived up to expectations gained from the brown cellophane (dated 8-24-14)that smell was of fine tobacco with zero ammonia odor. Very sharp burn line,perfect draw right from first puffs,not a hint of harshness when retrohaling. A well constructed medium bodied cigar with a visually attractive wrapper,Habano?. About twenty minutes into it the ash is very firm with little or flaking. A half hour into the cigar the burn line became uneven but after a few minutes self corrected. Needed no touching up or relighting,do like cigars that do not demand that attention after the initial lighting. The ring gauge allowed me to enjoy changes in complexity,tho I can't name those flavours that intertwine nicely with no hint of any abrupt shifts. My thoughts once the cigar's smoked. The Viaje Oro Fuerza is a cigar I'd never light unless I could be certain of uninterrupted time to enjoy the experience. If you can find one with some age,or have the patience to allow the cigar(s)to age before smoking. This is one that qualifies unreservedly as a special occasion smoke. Enjoyed this fine cigar courtesy of Merovius (TYLER).
Wish I'd gotten at least one photo.
Starting my birthday with a shot thanks to @WNYTONY
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psebxpwttx.jpg
Happy Birthday @TreySC - glad I could help with the celebration. Those Shots are pretty damn good.
Today for me - a Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Short Churchill courtesy of the good Mr. @Tobias Lutz

Single #22 for me
Finishing up the birthday celebrations with this bad boy, which I might not have smoked if not for the decree
http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...psdgzy0t1w.jpg
You must realize that your smoking that cigar at this time was one of the reasons.Quote:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREY.
Picked this up in a Caldwell sampler.

Has anyone else noticed this?
Do YOU believe he can do this?
At the start of the decreed 30 days his Excelency Sir. Dog Rockets stated:
"So for th next 30 days I'm only smoking singles, nothing I have multiples of."
He will not smoked a single Gurkha during this period?
A poll proposed?
Of course not,only his Excellency has the authority to order a poll,
that power residing with Sir.Dog Rockets only,as decreed by His Excellency Sir.Dog Rockets.
Since no one can doubt there is a Gurkha that Sir Dog Rockets does not have stashed away,
in the hundreds or thousands
in one of his numerous walk in and/or drive thru humidors
YTour opinion please/
Not a poll...NOT A POLL,just wondering what others amongst his subjects think.
Remember should you be at all hesitant to express an opinion that His Excelenlcy does not only allow, but encourages his subjects to think.

The reason for no Gurkha yet is I didn't have. Any just singles of them until @penna stogey bombed me some. All my Gurkha I have multiples of (obviously). Why would you ever have just one of a Gurkha? Come on now!Quote:

Finishing up the evening with a Curivari Gloria de Leon Fuerza courtesy of my long lost buddy @jp1979
Cigars 23 and 24 for me
Way back in the early hours of this day while waiting for the coffee to clear away some of the mist. Jericho Hill .44S that had ragged foot, trimmed that, and it was about 4.75x44 when lit. Bit tight draw at first then, just fine, seemed to last fairly long, and tho additional coffee didn't disperse the mist,which was internal not external, the cigar smoked well. Tho I haven't burnt as many singles as decreed, Some of few that did meet a fiery end would still have been skulking in my humidor had I not made a, doomed to failure from the start as it was, effort to escape the expected wraith his Excellency Sir. Dog rockets will surely unleash upon this miserable failure.
I enjoyed a few stragglers over the weekend...some were good and some were not...
Joya Red which I had to go back to due to sudden hail storm..
http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...527_162949.jpg
What's left of an A. Fuente 8-5-8 (I believe) out at the local fishing hole..
http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...530_112007.jpg
And a CAO Flathead that although the wrapper cracked everywhere was still an enjoyable smoke..
http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/...530_125615.jpg
And now it's back to the rain we have had for the past week so I doubt I will be adding much more..

Noticed a crack in this No. 6. Only one left so I put her down.
