Good evening All - I had a Cohiba Black Supremo and was pretty disappointed. The cap was pretty rough but the taste seemed quite bland. I was only drinking water but maybe its me and not the cigar. About halfway through it started to get bitter. Maybe it was just the token dud in the box.
JB-07 how did you like the Decade?

I like it a lot. Very easy draw, little bit too easy. The taste was very unique, and strong. I wish I could put words to it, but I dont trust my own description. Got a little bitter towards the end (Toro). The burn was nice, and it lasted about 2 hours. Absolutley worth a try.
I wouldn't put it up there with VSG's and any Padron Aniversary. So for about the same money, I would be smoking a VSG instead. For a change, great cigar.
had an Illusion mk at my local shop and was very disappointed in the smoke. first draw after lighting was very spicy and flavorful, than it just died! no flavor, no taste, just smoke, draw was very loose and stick was a bit mushy. oh well..
did pick up a RP decade robusto, 2 nub habanos wrapper, rp conn petit corona, and 2 don pepin jj series.

Tonight a Davidoff Millenium Petit Corona. Used to be my goto, but either I have changed, the tobacco has changed (from early 2000), or both. Still good, but I remember a stick that was great. BTW, Last night's RP Decade Robusto didn't thrill me. Man I am getting picky!
Talk about having a disappointing smoke day. I had my first crack at the Nubs from Olivia. I had the Habano, and the size was 460 I believe, the torpedo style. Anyway great flavor, perfect draw everything was awesome, except the cigar canoed, like nothing my eyes have ever seen before. I was in shock. It nearly killed my smoking experience with it, but the flavor was in fact great, so I stuck in there. I want to try this one again. The flavor was the great, but the cigar did not perform to the expectations of me smoking it, then being able to take a picture of me standing it on its ash.

Beach week continues. Glorious day today. Started the morning with a nice cool walk on the beach and Chateau Fuente natural wrapper. This is fast becoming my prefered morning cigar. Good flavor without being overpowering and goes great with coffee.
Tonight, the AF Cuban Bellicoso. Tasty smoke, enjoying it thoroughly. Great burn, great draw. Typically well made AF cigar.
