Tried an Indian Tabac Super Fuerte last night, and it was excellent. It was medium-full body to it, very dark oily wrapper. Lots of smoke from it. Earthy notes with hints of chocolate, cedar, and nuts for the first half, and then there were hints of spices and pepper along with the chocolate notes. All in all an excellent smoke. Something I will definatly smoke again. Looking forward to opening up the box of Gurkha G3's I just bought too. Had one of them a few months ago and really enjoyed it.

last night I broke in to my box of Gurkha G3's. I forgot just how much I enjoyed them. Looking at them, with their dark maduro wrapper you'd think it would be a very bold, full-powered smoke, but not so much. It opens with notes of cedar, nuts, and toast, and as it burned, started to get notes of chocolate and light pepper, especially at the end. Slow burning, nicely constructed, so very very nice. I highly recommend it.

just finished one of my all time favorites, Camacho Triple Maduro. A beautiful, oily maduro wrapper, hugging, you guessed it, lots and lots of maduro goodness inside. A very full bodied smoke, with ample spice from the pre-light draw all the way through the slow burn. A hint of cacao at the toasty conclusion, just an absolutely amazing cigar. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone that likes their cigars big and bold and full bodied. And it goes excellently with a good single malt or bourbon.......

they make some incredible cigars, I'm having one of theirs this evening, CAO America Monument, and it is almost as nice to look at as it is to smoke. My favorite from them though is the Anniversaire Cameroon, but I will also admit I'm a cameroon wrapper freak.

it was a 2 cigar day for me. Had a new favorite this afternoon, San Cristobal, which was amazingly good. Just finished a Rocky Patel Renaissance a few minutes ago, which was perfect. I have said this before and I will say it again, Rocky Patel is a cigar-making genius. Everyone of the cigars in the Rocky Patel line up is great and the Renaissance might just be the best of the best.
