“Smoked Up” No.4
This week has really flown by me. Busy at work, with friends & family took over most of my cigar smoking time. I barely had enough time to type up my review, go through contest entries and work on “Smoked Up”. But I did get a few cigars in this past week and in my spare time gathered up some weekly news. So here are a few thoughts on a few of my cigars this past weel. After the cigar thoughts is a slew of cigar news from the week from various sites.

“Smoked Up” No.3
This is the third installment of the “Smoked Up” series and its been a decent week in my week in cigars. There has been a handful of cigar news and I got a few new cigars in the humidor to review for you. So keep your eyes out for them in the up coming weeks. I still got my Cigar of the year 5pk contest going on through this Friday the 25th. Check it out and enter the easy contest.
Perdomo Gran Cru Habano Epicure: I was gifted this 6×60 cigar and although I am no fan of the 60rg size, I was appreciative of it and thought I’d give it a try. The draw was a tad on the thick side & burned “ok” with a few waves. At first there were nice flavors of a semi-sweet note of a dried fruit. Accompanied by some notes of chocolate with a slight short lived pepper undertone. Once into it more, there was more peppery wood flavors with chocolate being an undertone that bounced across my palate. The retrohale revealed a somewhat spicy & woody flavor. With about 2″ left, the wrapper split and flavor got flat, so thats where I ended it. I liked this cigar, but not too sure if I will go for another one in this size. I think I will stick with the toro size.

Emilio Series H Maduro Robusto
Emilio Cigars has a vast array of cigars on the shelves of cigar shops these days. From the Milder Suave to the fuller Grimalkin (La Mousa), there is an Emilio to fit everyone’s likings. Emilio also distributes a good number of smaller boutique company lines such as Nomad, 1502 etc… I smoke a good bit of the Emilio AF series and Grimalkins mainly, but occasionally toast up a Series H Maduro for a change of pace. Growing fonder and fonder of the Maduro wrapper, I am always looking for another one to try. So I have had a few of these here & there and is a good mid priced (around $6.50) maduro cigar.
Size:Â 5 1/2 x 50
Vitola:Â Robusto
Wrapper:Â Jamastran Ligero Maduro
Binder:Â Nicaraguan & Costa Rica
Filler:Â Nicaragua & Costa Rica

Contest: Win a 5pk of my COTY
I did a contest before I announced my 2012 Cigars of the Year (COTY)Â to guess my cigar of the year. No body correctly guessed, it was the Espinosa La Zona Connecticut Robusto. Since I didn’t have a winner, I am going to do an easier contest to have a guaranteed winner. This will be a lot easier to do, just involves a twitter account and a camera of sort.
“Smoked Up” No.2
Continuing into my “Smoked Up” series, this is the second edition of my week in review in my cigar world. I found a newly opened cigar shop local nearby town “Cigars El Puros Perfecto” (Ocean Springs, MS) and they have a pretty decent selection of cigars, with a few cigars I don’t see too often locally. They have some new cigars and a bunch of oldies but goodies. So I’ll have a chance to revisit a few smokes from the past. This was a fairly slow smoking week for me, I had a lot going on at work & around the house. These are just a few of the cigars I had with some notes.
Nub Habano SG Studio Tobac Double Perfecto: A very odd bowling pin shaped perfecto. Had ample flavors of a malty chocolate with hints of wood & nuts. After the midpoint, it got more woody & nutty than anything. A slight sweetness poked through on the the undertone. The draw was on the thick side, though the cigar did feel a bit moist, thus the draw suffered. I didn’t get a good toasting on the foot, which resulted in an off burn & a few touch-ups. The Habano line is my favorite of the Nubs & the Studio Tobac is a very nice addition to the line & very welcomed in my eyes. I’d like to get another & let it sit to see if the draw opens more to reveal more flavors. Overall a good smoke that I’ll definitely come to again.
