What are smoking? I was given a Padron 45th Annivesery to celibrate my sons college graduation,having it tonight.
LOL
Just what I am smoking as I type.
just had a Fuente Cubanito. Whenever I smoke them I think of Eastwood movies when he is wearing a poncho and enjoying the last few hits from his small cigar.
I have a lot of respect for what Rocky accomplished in a short amount of time, especially considering he was up against an entrenched Latin culture that has a very different way of doing business, I read in an article, where Rocky described the cigar business akin to a mafia-controlled business that doesn’t take kindly to outsiders entering their space. But he did it by making an exceptional smoke, marketing it well and spending an enormous amount of time on the road in small cigar shops meeting his customers and promoting his great smokes. I briefly met him once at such an event and agree with you that he is a great guy.
LOL, at first I thought you said “ticked”.
I had a decadent night. 2 cigars! A CAO LX2 and a La Flor Domininca Coronado. Plus a few cups of Bushmills. The Coronado was delicious. Great thread!
I have to agree. Rocky Patel makes very nice cigars. I can even get my wife to smoke a 1990 Perfecto. mmmmm
Arturo Fuente 858 Maduro and Naturals.
I had a CAO MX2 Box-press. Very mild and tasty.
For no reason whatsoever, I had a Mayorga maduro torpedo tonight. i hadn’t had a cigar in quite a while. It was a tasty cigar. Coffee and chocolate flavors mostly; occasionally a bit of red wine. A spicy finish.
Best smoke I ever had was a Fuente Fuente Opus X.
Try anything by PG. Guaranteed smooth smoking.
For special treat I like Gloria Cubana Series R Maduro #5.
I preferred macanudos, though I recently took up pipe smoking...Requires a little more setup time than cigars but a satisfying smoke nonetheless.

For those of you who are cigar experts.. are these brands any good? He has his favorites (Oliveros Classics) and i’m looking for something new to surprise him with.
Pretty good...but I prefer 5 Vegas Gold....
