Had a Mayorga Maduro Toro. Been quite sometime since I had one of these bad boys. Got to be one of the best value smokes out there.
"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia

Torano Exodus 59, while reading the newspaper this afternoon.
"They're not real Cubans. They're Dominicans." Yeah. I'm a little worried. When there's no work, and the people get restless, who do you think they come after?... El Presidente!

No day off today for me, either. So after work, I broke out the first stick from a box of Rocky Patel Fusion Robustos that I'd won on CBid some time ago. In the course of smoking it, I also had to break out all my cigar tools.
From the prelight draw, it was evident that the draw was too tight, if not plugged outright. I used a Drawpoker on it, and it seemed to help, so I lit it up.
The draw was still tight, but passable. Then the next problem arose: the wrapper was ultra thin and super-delicate, and it started breaking and peeling all over. I had to use cigar balm in several places, and again intermittently after that.
Normally, at this point, I'd have given up on a cigar like this. That's where this cigar's one redeeming factor came in: it had a really good, coffee-like flavor to it, albeit with a very dry finish.
I broke my own rule on this by not having tried at least one single first before buying a whole box, but I had put in a maximum bid that was well below CI's regular price, and ended up winning. I'm hoping that, after considerable more humi time, the next one will fare better.
St. Luis Rey Reserva Especial Rothchilde Maduro. Excellent smoke may have to smuggle a box of these into the humi with out the wife catching on lol. Later on a Padron 2000 good smoke as usual.
