Friday: Fittipaldi torpedo. They rolled the head way to tight on this one. My hernia almost popped. Might have been ok elsewise.

Saturday: Leon Jimenez toro. Like breathing through a garden hose. Good volume of smoke, great construction otherwise and a good cigar, but a bit too mild for my personal taste.

Sunday: Puros Indios toro maduro. Perfect draw. The WD40 really came out as I smoked this one. Dark and shiny, straight brun, volumes of real cigar aroma smoke. Smooth, medium strength. For me it is not necessary for cigars to get any better than this and none often do. The last third was finished this morning after breakfast on the patio and was my 2nd favorite cigar of the week. Massively underestimated, IMHMFO.

If anyone reads this, you might be asking yourself "What the hell is a straight brun?!!!"
Sorry, I don't know what a straight brun is either.

hell, el ... even "I" know what a straight brun is ... how long you been smokin' those 'gars, anyway?

I love a straight brun. ERDM robusto larga with tons of 10-W30 on it last night did it for me.

I have an offer in my email that might help you with cigar #1. It looks like a device that a cigar would fit in. You just squeeze the bulb a few times and it looks like "real cigar aroma smoke" would come pouring out. There is a motorized version that costs more.

Mean - I had the same thing yesterday, I LOVE that cigar, very complex and robust!! Had mine with a tripple shot latte though, couldn't handle alcohol at noon on Sunday...

Exactly, Mean!! ... I agree about the Larga, but generally prefer them a bit more full-bodied, so I saturate 'em with 10W40 ... talk about oily goodness!!!

I think a straight brun is the opposite of a gay brun,JMHMFO. LOL X

I'm a Purios Indios fan, and don't see the maduro available too many places, but it sounds like it's time to give 'em a try.


I was out bid pretty quick on the current lot of the 5pk of the PI Reserva Maxima. Anyone try these?

i think some of you people are making fun of me.

X, did you mean "Just My Hero Maynard Ferguson's Opinion?"

Yeah Danno, I've tried one so far. My lips got numb too fast on these. Lasted well over an hour with a nice even spice, not overpowering.

Most of the PI's I've had have tasted green to me.I think I still have a few with some age on them now,I'll have to give them another try I guess.

Danno, I do think they come in maduro, but X caught me calling a very dark EMS wrapper maduro a couple days ago. Who knows, maybe I did it again. Whatever the heck it was wuz wunnerful.

LLt,They do come in a Maduro. I have won a 5pack of PI Toro's in Maduro.
Danno,I have tried the PI Max Res.,the Churchill,I believe it was. I though it was good,but nothing to write home about. I have tried only one,so to give it a better test,I have a few of these taking a nap. I will try again later. X

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the tightest of times.

Don't you think RICKADICKENS has a nice ring to it?

Anyone looking for a source for Maduro PI, email me.
