Davidoff Silver Edition Mini Cigarillos, courtesy of @Demuths1770 . Secret Santa gifted to me mid Dec. A perfect 10 minute smoke on a rainy/windy March morning. My first cigarillo ever, and I really enjoyed it......thanks Kyle!

No problem at all. Glade you enjoyed one!! Figured it was perfect to send for winter time. I'm not a big fan of cigarillos but read great reviews on the David offsQuote:

All of them fantastic sticks, but the Room 101 was an absolute gem! Thanks man!
Yeah those Namakubi Ecuadors are really tasty sticks.
And Kevin (@Cameradude) continues to add joy to my week with a Savenelli 20th Anniversary.

Never had one before, thought it would make a good quick smoke before trying to fire up the mower for the first time this year. I'll be a minute! It's good and slow burning. Thanks!
Glad to be an enabler to a fellow BOTL
I'm 30 minutes in and it's just burned about an inch! Has a savory quality to it.Quote:

Won in a contest awhile back. Thanks @cigarson .
I was enjoying it until about 2 hrs 7 minutes in I started feeling a bit of the nic affect and had to put it down. Probably had about 15 minutes left on it, but my stomach said NO MAS!!
The MX2 is a very nice cigar.
Love them.
Yep, I was enjoying it alot until the nic started to hit me, and I usually don't have that problem. Maybe I'll have to get a robusto next time...I think this was a toro. Keep it under 2 hours and I should be fine...:stogie:
Well its been a while since anybody posted in this one so I'll resurrect it.
I'm enjoying a PDR Capa Oscura courtesy of @droy1958 . Very nice maduro stick. Typical maduro sweetness that I love so much.
I think PDR is an underrated brand. They have several different blends that I enjoy. The Oscuro and the Habana Sungrown are good as well.

CAO Maduro l'Anniversaire compliments of @Gunther7912 .
I swear I've never seen so much smoke come off the foot of a cigar before in my life. And I'm a Liga Privada fan so that's saying something. Love it.
Great flavors too.

This fine afternoon an equally fine cigar courtesy of Cardinal. Oliva Serie V Liga Especia No.4...5x43.This Petit Corona is a near perfect example of this favourite cigar size and shape. Failed to note the time spent smoking,just lost in enjoyment of this excellent and flavourful cigar.Intend to have some of these right beside the My Father L E Coronas in the humidor from now on.Wish I'd found these afore this, been missing out on a whole lot of goodness, must make amends.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. They're at the top of my list right now, no doubt about it.Quote:

Easy to understand why you like them.

Oliva Serie V liga Especial No.4 Petit Corona Flavour bomb courtesy of Cardinal (Tim)one hour and twenty six minutes., every minute fine as frog's hair.
Thanks much for these Tim.
Bob, by coincidence I smoked one from you this fine evening, and it was a mighty fine smoke as well. My first H. Upmann, the Petite Corona I believe, and an excellent 1'20" spent with the last splash from a bottle of Balvenie Doublewood. This was my favorite CC to date, I'll look forward to more from this brand. Thank you!Quote:

Sunday afternoon smoke, late posting as usual I know. Crazy weather while smoking the ciogar on front porch, temp was 75F. but roll on a couple of hours of strong winds...temp felt like very low 60s...read 48F outdoors., Feeling like early March.
The cigar:
My Father Special S...5x50. Courtesy of Cardinal, this Robusto is a Special Event only item, not a regular production smoke.
Is it really special?
If you rate cigars coming from Don Pepin Garcia's My Father factory as amongst the best available, you know the answer.
Could well choose faultless as a one word descriptor for this Special S.
Couldn't ask for better in a Mild to mild/medium smoke. One of the few from DPG in which you may find pepper to be close to nonexistent, 'tis there but darn near unnoticeable.
The Special S burnt perfectly right from the start, flavourful smooth all the way to end as a very wee nub.
http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...psmgqfw7tr.jpg
Thanks Tim for still another fine smoke.
Been waiting for a day as nice as this Monday certainly is to smoke this.
Fume D' Amour Lancero...7.5x40.Mine to enjoy,as I am,courtesy of Cardinal (Tim.)
Lighted easily,slight wavy burn line,quickly self corrected quicky to remained sharp until the end.
About six minutes into it the retrohale is near perfect and I'm pretty sure no relight or touch-up will be needed on this slow burning Lancero.
An open draw that yields a lot of good looking blue smoke.
Slow sips and it has taken a goodly amount of time to reach this stage where I'm looking at six inches left to burn on this Nicaraquan hand made beauty from Illusione.
I'm a fairly slow smoker,lit mid afternoon this cigarshows no signs of ending before Sunset.
Once done I can fully understand Tim's saying that the Fume D'Amour is the best cigar he's smoked this year.
My choice in that regard has been the HR by Robiana in any and all the sizes smoked from the brand's Sampler.
The HR's held the top spot for me until now as I've smoked several more of the HR's in the Sublime size.
Now that this Fume D' Amour is finished, after an impressive three hours and eighteen minutes.
I still have the HR ahead,by a whisker as the best/most enjoyable I've smoked this year....however.....that is a mighty short whisker.
Quesdada Reserva Privada and Matilde Renacer are two other's that to date,have impressed a lot.
One final note: Do sip slowly to fully appreciate this flavourful Illusione Fume D' Amour Lancero.
Wish I has a series of photos of this smoke to post here.
But I'm a manual film camera guy, just can't get on with digital.
Found this God of Fire Sencillio Black in one of my humis cant recall who sent it but damn it was delicious!

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
Oliva Serie V no.4 Liga Especial Petit Corona...5x43.Tried but kept seeing it looking lonely, last of a trio I'd gotten from Cardinal. Purely as an act of mercy figured it only right to let it rejoin it's buddies, set alight and now enjoying smoking it,fully convinced that a few more of them shall soon find their way into the humidor. Tim you've convinced me that these V's are must have smokes.
Courtesy of Merovius. Lost and found Skin suit...5x50.
Good looking and well constructed Robusto, really nice tobacco smell before lighting, then within just a few minutes realize theres an excellent taste in this cigar, cant name it and tho not overpowering it's certainly there, expect had I beenreally focused would have noticed this right from the start. This cigar smoked at a very even keel, remarkably smooth retrohale. The way a genuinely good cigar should smoke, never bitter, no nicotine blasts nor sticky sweetness, just excellent tobacco all the way till the end after one hour and thirty five minutes.
