Been a while since I've smoked an H. Upmann... Either my tastes have matured, or they weren't as good as I remembered them. The one I smoked was a cedar-wrapped perfecto, Vintage Cameroon.
Notes of hay (not

Not bad for $5.

My Cuban Santa Claus stopped by my office...stepped off his G5 from Germany and dropped these off (did a European pickup on his SLS Black)...makes my bank account look like a rainy day fund... I had to trade him 2 Mac 30's for these...he could get it on his own but there is no fun in that for him.

I just love the Cohiba pic the best! I need to enjoy a cigar and drink this weekend! Been very busy recently and not much time for cigars. I need to contribute to this thread again Heading to the casino and resort for some winter blues R&R! Spa, gambling, cigars and drinks. I am thinking Padron's and Liga Privada!

Poker and Cigars last night
Made a nice little trip for some poker and cigars with some friends and family in Western, NY. Long line to enter the poker room so I had some time to kill with some cigars, drinks and Keno.
Had a wonderful Padron late at night after play before bed. Enjoyed a San Lotano while playing Keno waiting to get called in for the buy in. I ended up playing $20 on those slot machines as well. First time in years since I played one and the lady sitting behind me wins $29,000
Unreal! Figured it was an omen for me to win at poker but no luck there as well. I ended up stoping at the Casino Cigar store before I left this morning and picked up some Romeo's, Ashton VSG and a Rockey Patel Maduro Java. Any info on these? I took the dive because they are rated good

I'd agree with you, the run-of-the-mill H Upmann's are not too sophisticated for an experienced palate.

Have not enjoyed any cigars this week as it has been very busy. I had 2 last week. I have been searching the sites for some new sample stuff to broaden my horizon too. I downloaded a app on the Apple store called "Cigar Boss". It allows you to keep track of all your favorite cigars. I ended up making a wonderful list on it last night.

Been out of the loop for a bit...baby came early and my wife and I are on a 2-3hr feed/burp/diaper change cycle...BUT this is the best thing I've ever experienced and wouldn't change anything.
I did get a chance to smoke a couple cigars last Saturday...baby came Sunday...then tried to play golf yesterday. I was successful in smoking a couple of cigars but my game did not show up... Other than that life is good...I did order some 10yr aged 1964 and 1926 Padrons and an additional custom humidor...pics to come when they come in.

Thanks again guys...fatherhood is a blessing!
These came in yesterday...an online distributor local to me bought out a cigar shops old stocked humidor that has been closed for over 7yrs...except for the Double Coronas the other boxes were sealed and still in plastic covering. I bought the Padrons just as a favor to him since aging them isn't all that important with them..but the Opus will be downright righteous at over 7 yrs old.
31 Opus X Double Coronas
Padron No. 2 Natural
3 Padron 1964 Sampler box
2 Padron 1926 Sampler box

Bill...welcome back safe. Those Colombian woman are crazy!!!
Finally getting the feeding and diaper changing cycle down and actually felt ok this morning for golf...I actually started to get the weight shift going in the swing. Last week I felt like I was blocking everything...77 and a couple of great cigars.
Tabak Especial Cafe Con Leche...great start...smooth and tasty.
2002 La Gloria Cubana Médaille d Or No.4...initial draw was too tight but after the first 1/3 it loosened up...very enjoyable and mild.
2004 Punch Petit Corona Del Punch...WHAT A FANTASTIC VINTAGE CIGAR!
Liga Privada Feral...What a way to end the round! Hard to get so when Jim@FuegoCigars called me and said he had 5 boxes...hell yes...come to poppa!!!
Later tonight @ an impromptu grilling session...2003 Opus X Perfexcion No. 2 (pics to follow)...

Not of legal age to smoke anything. Probably will never smoke, but I find cigars to be really interesting and tobacco in general an important part of the American story and the world community in general. Hate "smoking nannies" though especially the stigma that exists against cigarette smokers, frankly they aren't stupid people and should be allowed to exercise their freedom over their own bodies regardless. Anti-tobacco and tobacco lobbyists alike are the same ***** to put it bluntly neither side is good news, but anti-tobacco laws and outrageous taxes are just the beginning of perpetual government abuses...
Moving this thread along a little bit, out of curiosity, what are your smoking backgrounds and when did you all discover the pass time?

I tried it again a year later, with a milder smoke. Enjoyed it. Quickly discovered that they calmed me down a bit, and it was better than liquor because I could drive after the fact. I was on-again/off-again with 'em for a while, but after I turned 25 I started smoking 1-2 a week. Been doing that ever since.
I have a few extras I need to add to this thread, I simply have been lazy with the updates.
