Didn't get a chance. Was too dang hot and humid. Then rain, then a doctor's appointment I didn't want to screw up accidentally. Now my BP is through the roof so I get scowled at when I tried this evening.And?
Had a padron 2000 today during my maiden voyage on my new boat.
@BigRed had a padron 7000 a couple weeks ago. Couldn't keep it lit, started to unravel, and I found it to be too big of a ring gauge for my tastes.
The waitress at Nicky Blaine's was kind enough to replace it for me with a diff cigar since it was unmanageable. I went with a Kristoff as replacement.
What do you think of those? I’ve been debating on buying a box.
I'm on my second box.What do you think of those? I’ve been debating on buying a box.
I guess I’ll have to give them a shot!I'm on my second box.
I'm a fan. It's a nice smoke.

Smells like a wet horse out of the wrapper but it's oh so good once it's lit. This one had the sweet cap on it too.Those are an awesome stick, has a sweet Smokey flavor of smoked pork.
I haven’t ever smelled a cigar out of the wrapper and thought it smelled good to be honest. Interesting about how they cure them, I guess that explains the smoke flavor…Smells like a wet horse out of the wrapper but it's oh so good once it's lit. This one had the sweet cap on it too.
I heard how they cure the leaves. The put them in a barn and smoke them dry. They use mostly old whiskey barrels IIRC.
I typically like Nigaraguan cigars so will try and remember those. I recently had a Drew Estate Liga Privada No. 9, 5x54 I've had in the humidor a couple years and it was quite good.
Find a Drew Estate Java Mint. Smells like a Thin Mint girl scout cookie. Tastes like one too. It's the perfect desert cigar.I haven’t ever smelled a cigar out of the wrapper and thought it smelled good to be honest. Interesting about how they cure them, I guess that explains the smoke flavor…
Oh yeah that macanudo is a really good stick! I haven’t tried the Java yet, I’ve looked at it and debated about it but never have, guess I’ll have to now!Find a Drew Estate Java Mint. Smells like a Thin Mint girl scout cookie. Tastes like one too. It's the perfect desert cigar.
The Macanudo M is a coffee infused stick. It smells good too unlit. Smells even better lit up.
I have a couple that I obtained over the years. I think I got them free for buying some special package. I used them a couple of times, but I haven't used one in years.I'm not a cigar smoker but wonder if anyone uses a cigar carrier like the old timers? I might just have an old pigskin type to put in the Marketplace.
