Tabak Especial Cafe con Leche

Interesting multi-wrappered infused cigar.

not as strong or thick on the smoke as I like but figured it was a curiosity and it is hot as hell on my back porch so no loss if it ends early.

Construction is excellent, burn, long tight white ash. Flavors are not bad but wouldn't be an every day cigar for me.

Interesting wrapper on that one. What do u know about tabak in general? I don't know anything about them but see them all the time online. I remember seeing one video talking about the "old one" or "original" maybe, vs the newer ones as if they were a different brand in the past or something. Can't remember.

I have been doing a lot of electrical projects and play the guitar so they tend to grow out on occasion

Ramon Bueso Genesis Oscuro

Not a bad smoke. Little bit on the potent side but excellent construction etc.

Monte Cristo. Habana. 'Nuff said. (Already smoked up all the Cohibas I brought back)

Toraño Exodus 1959 50 years

Dang nice medium cigar. No pepper but some nice cooking spices.

Gets a little sweetness and builds in strength a bit as it goes on.

Both 5Vegas favorites of mine over the last couple days

Gold Maduro


Cask Strength with my once/or so yearly glass of wine, a very nice Limited run Cabernet Sauvignon from the wife's friends vineyard. Excellent pairing

Tried a Cuban Partagas serie d today. Musty, strong mouth presence, pleasant aroma. Might be better with more time in humidor.

Macanudo inspirado white for me today. Beautiful morning for it. Smooth, more mouth presence than I remember it having. Maybe due to humidity level or amt of time in humidor, not sure. Mellow but lots of white pepper presence throughout (more than I recall previously for some reason). Nice aroma. Kind of reminds me of Ashton which I haven't had one of those for ages. Interesting blend of tobaccos on this one

Trip to the city was largely a bust today, but I did pickup some sticks and reading material.

Enjoyed this cigar on Saturday while reminding myself the heat will go away, and fall will be here soon.

Tried a Kristoff ligero today. Strong, full bodied, meaty, smooth. Very strong rich aroma. Cannot give it a score less than 9.5 for me which ties it for 1st place (with another Kristoff) and full bodied is not my preference. Basically take the best Cuban u have had and make it stronger and more flavorful and you have this cigar.

Very slow burning. Ok to leave resting for quite a while (so far anyway). Perfect draw/burn/construction.

Flavors so far of: Must, steak, mocha, minor red pepper, Vanilla, almond, cedar, leather, honey. More chocolate coming in in 2nd third and deeper overall.

I may have to grudgingly give this a score of 9.6/10.

Macanudo 1968 yesterday and torano exodus 50year today. The Macanudo was a little strong for early morning. Exodus 50year is creamy and earthy. Love the aroma of that one.
