A Montecristo #2 that I forgot I had. (Actually I have 12 of them)
Sitting in the bottom of my Cubador means that I don't usually go looking as that's where I let cigars age. These were purchased in 2001. I guess they are old enough to smoke.

no cigars yet tonight but I had an interesting smoking experience this afternoon......theres a local shop near me owned by a group egyptian guys who sell cigars and Hookas (water pipes) .....Long story short, When i went in they were all sitting around smoking a 4 hosed hooka with sweet aromatic tobacco......They invited me to join in and it was pretty good.....def not on par with cigars or pipes but nice for a change of pace...
Half hour later I bought a 3 foot hooka and assorted shisha tobacco which is what im smoking tonight.....The pipe was cheap and i figured even if I didnt smoke it very often, it was really a nice conversation piece to have around my place

dont mean to threadjack but... mr rogers are u talking about SJ cigars on 3rd street? i went in there once and the guy was trying to talk me into buying a hooka. i had to decline but always wondered what it would be like.
as for my smoke, i had a RyJ reserva real toro and some jack and rootbeer.

I tried a Helix Maduro Super8 at the recomendation of my General Cigar sales rep. Not a bad smoke for the money, pretty mild but I wasn't up anything too intense tonight anyway.
...come in here dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far.....

Yep sirpbleeko, it was SJ cigars but not the SS location......they recently opened up shop on montgomery ave.......The guys in there werent pushy at all, they just invited me to try it and i thought it was pretty cool.......give it a shot if u ever get the chance, like i said the smoke isnt complex but is super smooth........like I said, fun change of pace, plus its really cool looking, i havent taken my eyes off its intricacies since this afternoon

Just finished a Vegas Fonseca Sobrino, my first one, which was decent, but I'm not rushing out to buy a box any time soon. As far as NCs go, I'm enjoying Ashton Puro Sol robustos more than anything (cigar has a beautiful ash and burn). Frankly, I've been cigar obsessed after traveling earlier this summer to a place where Cubans are plentiful. I'm still waiting for the right moment to smoke one of my Cuaba Salomones.
Smoked a bowl each out of the two pipes I got. Tobacco was Peterson special reserve 2003. Not to bad but not to great, not like a cigar anyways. I'm gonna keep trying it out and different tobaccos, this stuff seemed bland. It could have been because it was the first bowl and all that stuff inside was burning off.

Had a LFD Face Off that I'd forgot about and never really finshed the face off because the Camacho pretty much sucked. The LFD wasn't terrible, but it didn't really taste like much. Pretty mild.
Smoked the second of my CA 'prize sticks' tonight - Puros Indios Piramide No. 3s. I'm really like'n these figurados. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale goes well with it.

had a cubita sms robusto while cleaning up/rearranging my room in the frat for next year. hey Mr Rogers, hookas are pretty popular here on campus, although they might be shocked to hear that you put tobacco in yours.
