Tonight I will be smoking an AVALON cigar.

I was given a few cigars to try by Tom Ramsey from Avalon Cigars of Clarksdale MS.

The one I have chosen tonight is called a Honeyboy, an African grown Cameroon Claro.

This is a Robusto size cigar.

Kind of underfilled, the foot is a bit spongy.

I wish I could give a good reportcard here but the cigar seems one dimentional with no distinct flavor profile.

The strength is medium to full and the burn is clean with a lot of good white smoke and a very white ash.
The ash is holding on very well as I have finished the first 1/5th of this smoke.

More later

About 1/3 -1/2 done with this cigar. Burning a bit hot. I am going to let it sit in the ashtray a while to cool it off, but I am sorry to say the flavor profile has not impressed me.

I had a Sancho Panza Belicoso and a JR Ultimate earlier. After I eat, off to the Dragoon Saloon, with a Monte Afrique.

At the local shop this afternoon, a J.Fuego Gran Reserva Corojo #1 robusto... Tasted a little flat [perhaps the Caesar salad at lunch may have been to blame???]...

I never finished a robusto in less than an hour, I can make one last for 2 if it is a great cigar, but this one just was not.

Maybe the other two that they sent will be better.

Two cigars for me at the local shop after work. First a Tatuaje Cojuno 2003 and then a Fuente Fuente Opus X. Both were very good.

Earlier in the day I had a Oliva V double toro. I posted my thoughts on the non CC forum.
Later I had a Diamond Crown Maximus Piramid #3. This cigar was out of this world good. A bit overpriced but I got 4 at a great price. The cigar had perfect construction and the draw was flawless. The smoke was rich and full bodied. Very complex as I could only describe it like smoking a Dr Pepper. Loaded with spices and earth.
A great one IMHO.

Staring in the humi as I speak...can't decide what to smoke. Maybe the Oliva Master Blend 3 robusto or maybe the PAM 64 Principe, I might just go with the Opus X petite lancero, decisions, decisions. I think I'll decide after dinner

I had the 100 Anos belicoso and man talk about a strong coffee taste. A very well constructed cigar and very easy draw.

Before that I had a Punch Churchill. I usually dont bother with Churchills due to my short attention span but was very happy with this one. A somewhat tight draw but very enjoyable right to the end. 100 minutes of smoking so I think I got my moneys worth!


Aged rum and cigars are the spice of life....

Had a tough week, so smoked a lot this evening. Started off with Gurhka Legend then an Edge missle at a retirement party. I think he made out on cigars, scotch and golf balls. Then headed to local B&M King Beaver to hang with Vince for an Ashton Classic churchill ending the night with an Oliva Master Blend churchill.
