A log of our cigar adventures. We will attempt to try many different cigars to talk about. Hopefully, not all of them will be smoked on the golf course.
We welcome any comments you have about your favorite cigars on this blog.
Wow! That about sums-up my experience with this cigar. I'm glad I've had several other prior to smoking this bad boy because if I'd had this first, nothing would compare. I read this was the #2 rated cigar last year and then found it in a sampler pack. I had to get it. This was a wonderful cigar experience!
Right out of the wrapper it had a wonderful smell. My initial draw (which was very easy) was light and flavorful. The smoke had a wonderful aroma. From the first draw to the end, it was very balanced and did not get bitter. The ash was very compact and probably would stay intact for a long time, but I'm a bit paranoid about the thing dropping in my lap. I sat outside in freezing weather to finish this cigar. I didn't want to put it down. This is, officially my #1 favorite cigar and I would smoke it anytime.

Rookie Rantings -- Padilla Miami Robusto
I originally began enjoying cigars because on a couple occasions my buddy Kevin shared with me his Padilla cigars. This was one he had given me. I think the first third of the Miami Robusto is a very flavorful cigar. After that it does get stronger and I could only get about half way through it before I'd had enough. Since I'm still a rookie I can't 'man up' like my buddy. It burns well, and has a very nice ash. Now that I've experienced a few different cigars, I'd say it draws a little harder than others.
I'd have this again, but I'm looking forward to trying the Oscuro Kevy's been raving about.
I'm not sure my buddy Steve knew what he was doing when he gave me the reins to his log, but since I have them...let's ride this thing! :-) I'm new to cigar smoking so many of you may completely disagree with my opinions. That's the great thing about opinions, they're ours and we're right (until convinced otherwise).
Last night I smoked an Obsidian Robusto (5.5" x 54). It was part of a sampler I purchased (that's about all I'm purchasing right now). The Obsidian had a nice aroma. It burned well and had a very nice draw. The ash was kind of funky. Many of the other cigars I've had the ash stayed together. This cigar kind of "splintered" and I could see the leaf "veins." I don't know what that means, but it was interesting. I consider this a medium bodied cigar with a decent flavor. I don't know Steve's rating scale well enough to rate this cigar, so for now I'd say I'd consider having this again (unless something better is available).
