Started today with a.....
GURKHA ANCIENT RESERVE 'HABANO' CHURCHILL (7.2" x 52) Rated '86'. Weather it is the Connecticut or Habano Ancient Reserve, this cigar is a great smoke. I prefer the Connecticut though as it reminds me a lot of Perdomo's best like the ESV 2002 or Exhibicion.
ROCKY PATEL CONNECTICUT ROBUSTO (5.5" x 50) Rated '86'. A good smoke, BUT these need to rest a while. He must marinate the wrapper is some kind of spicy mix. That goodness it is not to bold as I find it VERY unappealing. It should disappear (I hope) after 4 to 6 weeks of naked aging.
PADILLA CAZADORES TORPEDO (6" x 52) Rated '88'. The 25 count box I got Friday dates
JUL 10 16/1912. As these have the old label I assume that means 2010. Excellent Habano cigar. Cigar Bid has been offering them up by the pallet full, along with the Signature 1932's. Scoring them for $2per has become the norm. I guess they want to get rid of the old label batch they have as Padilla has relabeled all his cigar lines. Lucky for me I have been able to take advantage of these offerings and have scored nearly 180 that I will be buying over the next few months. Still waiting for the Padilla Cazadores Maduro to come out this year.
PERDOMO 10th ANNIVERSARY RESERVE CHAMPAGNE ROBUSTO (5" x 54) Rated '89'. My all-time favorite Connecticut wrapped cigar. I got spoiled last summer when they were offering ten pack of the 6"x54 Epicure on Free Fall at $2.91per. Just to taste a 5iver a month I have had to push $4per most every time. FYI-the 7"x54 Torpedo tastes the BEST of all sizes.
